Hi!
First of all, as an expat since a few years now, I can tell you that you'll love Costa Rica!
It's a great country! Easy to adapt to.
To convert colon to US dollars, I like to use XE converter (http://www.xe.com/ucc/).
But you can also estimated like that:
500 colones = about 1$
1000 colones = about 2$
2000 colones = about 4$
5000 colones = about 10$
10 000 colons= about 20$
etc.
Just double the first number...and it will give you an estimate how much it costs in dollar.For jobs and housing, I know one website named Encuentra 24 (http://www.encuentra24.com/costa-rica-en/classifieds) who can help you with Costa Rica home and jobs.
Hope you'll enjoy this country like I do!
Pura vida!
