Can I go live in spain?

Posted at: 2015-06-30 
Why do you think every Pret and McDonalds in London is full of Spanish employees? Because there are no jobs in Spain, even minimum wage service jobs for Spanish speakers. There is no way you'd find any job in 3-4 weeks, Unemployment is about 25% and the hardest hit are people age 16-24 who have almost 35% unemployment at the moment. Thousands of young people are leaving Spain every single month to try and find jobs in France, UK, Germany, Sweden and anywhere else in Europe because there are no jobs. A friend of mine who speaks Spanish and worked in Barcelona years ago in bars and restaurants just came back after 6 months when he could not find anything, not even hotel cleaning jobs or dishwashing jobs. He luckily had money to support himself for 6 months but couldn't find a single day of work, despite having experience in Spain and speaking Spanish

Spain is going through a terrible recession.Hundreds of Spaniards are moving to northern European countries (including UK) for jobs....Unless you have some very special skill thats in great demand there, I would say NO. Better to work in the UK and earn in Pounds and then go for cheap holidays in Spain (like most other UK folk)!

Why do you think so many people in Spain are moving to the UK and other EU countries

If you are an expat looking for work in Spain, it may seem that there are only a handful of suitable jobs and an awful lot of job-seekers. But it is possible to find a job in Spain, if you know where to look for work, particularly for those with specialist skills.

In Spain, lots of people find work through informal routes such as word-of-mouth, networking and speculative applications, especially in small to medium-sized companies. As such, you shouldn't restrict your job search to agencies and adverts: be proactive, seek out opportunities and network, network, network.

Unemployment is currently very high in Spain with around one in four people without work. But since the beginning of March 2014, employment saw its first annual rise since the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008, so things are starting to look up – and some sectors have actually increased recruitment. For example, in Spain’s largest region, Castilla y León, there were more opportunities than ever for personal care workers, construction workers and chefs.

If you don’t speak Spanish, besides working for a multinational company, opportunities for English speakers include tourism, real estate and teaching English. For other types of employment, you will usually need to speak Spanish. I would suggest that you learn Spanish, because Spanish are very open once you speak in Spanish, I think to many British keep in a small bubble, and don't bother to integrate into Spain.

It is not always doom and gloom, Spain is wonderful, and a great place to live, but you must take things into consideration. There are some passages to jobs, but just pay attention.

Have you thought about doing a TEFL course? You might find a direct to being a part time English teacher.

You are not an adult until you are 18 you can not sign a legal enforced document until you are 18 so no rental documents

You cant even sign a rental contract or any contract before you are 18.

I'm a 17 year old. a EU citizen born in England. So my question is if i enough money to pay a studio apartments rent for the first week could I manage to find a temporary job there for like 3-4 weeks? I do not speak fluent spanish but am willing to learn.
