Today’s your lucky day! Darrin Smith at Key West Luxury Real Estate Inc. has put a lot of time and effort into his business, and into the Key West Real Estate Scene, and into this site, not to mention he knows just about every square inch of the island city that many people refer to as The Conch Republic!
Darrin also has an outstanding reputation all around Key West, both in business, and as a pillar of the community! This site features loads of great information for people who want to visit Key West, or those who will be getting off a cruise ship for a few hours, or for those who want to start a whole new life living in Key West, Florida! Just look around and you will see what I mean!
Now… for those who are seeking a job, if you have bartending or server experience, there are many bars, restaurants, pubs, cafes, and so forth, not to mention all of the hotels, motels, timeshare resorts, and vacation resorts, which have a need for food and beverage people! Since Key West is somewhat of a “party town,” you can make a pretty decent living as a waiter, waitress, cocktail server, or bartender!
Alternatively, if you have experience (or an interest in) other facets of the hotel or hospitality industry, there are many other jobs in hotels and resorts around the island; housekeeping, front desk, night auditor, security, maintenance, management, sales and marketing, event sales, group sales, concierge, guest services, lifeguards, and the list goes on!
There are many driving jobs available, whether you want to drive a bus for the Key West Transit folks, or perhaps as a driver who entertains and drives the tourists around on a trolley or tram for Historic Tours. Then there are several taxi cab companies, and you can even obtain a gig as a pedi-cab driver, who gets loads of sunshine and exercise pedaling around on a bike attached to a seat on wheels for two!
If you can pass a drug test and a criminal background check, then you can have your pick of cool jobs, ranging from working for the U.S. Postal Service, The City of Key West, Monroe County, The State of Florida, or one of the big name resorts in Key West!
If you have sales experience and ability, there are loads of art galleries, fancy jewelry stores, as well as a few car dealerships, a newspaper, and a few radio stations, most of which need good professional sales people! Some of the bigger resorts have a sales department, and there are some timeshare sales jobs for people who have, or who are willing to obtain, a Florida Real Estate License! For that matter, you can also work with Darrin at Key West Luxury Real Estate, Inc. as he could use a few more really good people! Contact him, and tell him you read this wonderful blogsite!
There are many other great jobs, whether you want to sell tickets to various attractions, work on some of the charter boats, assist people with their beach chair rentals, or working at a snack bar, or in a gift shop at one of the resorts. There are places where tourists can rent bikes, mopeds, golf carts, and all of these places need good people to work dealing with the tourists.
Then there are the various attractions, which also have jobs that are fun and lucrative… you can give tours of the Hemingway House, entertain people at the Shipwreck Museum, or greet people at the Key West Aquarium.
For those who are enterprising, you can obtain a street performer license or a street vendor permit, and make some money working your own hours, and being your own boss.
When people get off of the cruise ships, there are a few guided walking tours, where they escort a group of day visitors to various pubs, bars, et cetera. These tour guides get paid and make lots of money in tips. In fact, there are tip jars, cans, and buckets, all over the island, and many people receive tips. I’ve seen gift shops where there was a tip jar, and guess what? The tourists will drop money into them!
The amount and variety of jobs goes on and on. There are no shopping malls, but there are two Publix Supermarkets, a Winn-Dixie, a Beall’s Outlet Store, a Ross Store, a Home Depot, and a few other retail chain stores where you might be able to obtain employment.
If YOU want to move to Key West, then you should do it! Life is too short to deny yourself the simple pleasures and life is too short to be stuck living in a state, county, city, or town that you hate! If you’re in the freezing northern states, and you want to start a new life in a warm, tropical climate, then come on down!
If you’re newly single and you need to start a new life, in a new town, come on down! If you’re a newly-wed, and you and your new spouse want to move somewhere exciting to begin a new life together, then come on down! If you’re a good, reliable, real estate professional, then come on down! If you’re lonely or lost or need a change in your life, come on down! If you’re newly retired, and don’t know where to move next, come on down! If you just won a big lottery prize, come on down!
