From reading a lot of pprune posts, I've gathered that the best hiring season in Namibia is December - March. I think a good way for me to progress is to go down there this fall to get an impression of what it's like and to introduce myself. Then go home and decide whether I should commit or not, meaning making necessary the arrangements with my current employer. I can then be ready to go in January, as notice time in my country is three months.
On my CV is included working as a dive instructor in Egypt and doing volunteer work in India, I was hoping this would help convince that I am able to commit. I spoke with one Namibia operator who would be willing to endure my three months notice time if they wanted me on the team from seeing me this fall, but I guess staying there for longer inceeases my chances hundredfolds.
@ Darkroom, thanks for your comment. I need to make some smart decisions on how to proceed so it's not all a waste of time and money.
