My experience is based more on how things work out on the islands...
It is a very family oriented place, it can be difficult to break into society unless you are marrying in to it. The best jobs are often controlled by just a few extended families, work goes to cousins, uncles and nephews. Some parts are still quite religious which means Roman Catholicism and not C of E.
My brother made the moved to Portugal as a TEFL teacher, found work and a wife, he never came back.
There are people making a living providing services to ex patriots, if you are a competent; builder, plumber, electrician, etc. You may well find work, as the standard of local servicemen can be poor on the detailing.
Best plan things out first, you're not going on holiday.
