Billion Dollar Budget Equals Building Boom – But Where to Find a Job?
by Scott McCordMay 12, 2011
Over the years that PDT has been running its verification services, a number of people and organizations have come to us asking for information on Timor-Leste businesses.

The Jobs Directory is discontinued.
by Edward ReesApril 5, 2011
A young lady from Liquica, Maria Freitas, completed her work at PDM Timor-Leste yesterday. She was responsible for the Jobs Directory – formerly the Serbisu Iha Timor-Leste blog.

I just received a request from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) this morning for us to post a job on their behalf, a request I unfortunately had to turn down.
