Searching for job in Arusha: Arusha’s main sectors include tourism, agriculture, fishing, mining, manufacturing, energy, telecommunications and IT.The majority of expats in Dar-es-slaam work in tourism, education, manufacturing, construction, hospitality, wholesale and retail trade sectors. In Arusha and Moshi there are also a number of opportunities in the NGO sector and  agriculture.

The cost of living in Dar-es-salaam is generally cheaper than in most Western countries if you eat locally and take local transport. However, if you want to buy imported Western foods and goods, eat out at fancy restaurants, travel around the country, and live according to Western standards, it can get expensive. So keep this in mind when you are negotiating your contract.

Apart from all, from my experience building connections with people in Dar-es-salaam is the best way to find out about work. However, the following websites are also a good place to start when looking for a job in Dar-es-salaam:
