Working in Spain or the Canaries- Summer 2011

1992

Hey everyone,

I've decided that I wanna get out of this country this summer. I would absolutely love to work in Spain or one of the Canary Islands. This is the only place that really appeals to me, even though I am aware of the crisis there and the high unemployment levels. Regardless this is where I want to go.

So anyways, I've started doing some research into working abroad for the summer, but it's quite difficult to come across. So basically I'm looking for some advice because to be quite honest I'm completely clueless.

Like, from what I have seen online it seems a lot of people just head out there, look for a job and get one handy enough, but I have also seen that some people go with companies, example playawayabroad.com.... Im so confused really of how I go about this whole plan of mine so if anyone could shed any light or give some advice it would be very much so appreciated

Thanks a mil

hey arthur, i was just thinking of going over and looking for work. Its too hard too find anything online so im just trying to get someone to go over with, i have read alot of stories about people sorting out accomadation and then just finding work when they arrive. Thats what my plan would be if anyone else would join me?

Andy here, Thinking of something similiar myself lads. PM me with what sort of dates and locations your thinking of. I'm available from late April and am fairly open minded about the resorts once its somewhere fairly busy.

mickwasere12

Mr. Loverman

Have you checked out www.jobsinspain.ie ?

hi yes i have but there doesnt seem to be any general work its all work that requires experience and for proffesionals really.

Same as the above, thinking of heading to Spain in the near future. Rent per month seems decent at between €400-600 depending on location but as with you lads, work will be an issue. I'll have the GF with me so it'll be even harder.

Im thinking I'll head over with couple grand maybe €2-3k each, rent in busy tourist location and hope a job pops up. Im sure there'll be bars/rests looking for workers, if not I'll stay for a while and blow all my money

Hey lads, I'm living in Valencia at the moment. If you get yourselves a TEFL or something similar, you'll get work as an English teacher without any problems - it's the most sought after from Spanish peoples point of view, and there is good money also.
