one possibility would be as an interpreter (assuming you speak spanish fluently and are fluent in another language)
2 :
David, Are you from an EU member country? If so you can transfer all your health and social security benefits / history to Spain. A residents card would be useful and is easily available at very little cost. If not then youy´ll need to convice the Spanish embassy in your country that a working visa is good for Spain. You´ll have to sell your skills and profession to them. Ok, so you now need to find a job; If you speak Spanish look through the following spanish job sites; infojobs.net monster.es michaelpage.com If you don´t speak spanish, go to the same sites and only complete the search box with "ENGLISH". This will bring up english job options. You really need a minimum of two CV´s; 1 in English 1 in Spanish (with or without photo) However it is better to have tailored CV´s accenting different facets of your work history and responsibilities. Your final option is to look in your own country for job opportunities with relocation to Spain. Hope that helps! http://www.madrid-guide-spain.com

wouldn;t bother even considering living in Spain. Its not the place painted on the TV or what you see on holidays for two weeks at a time. The place as a whole, is going downhill, I have seen this decline over the last 3.5 years. The bars and restuarantas are not doing very well with many really struggling to survive the summer, let alone the winter. You cannot buy the same level of goods here as you can in the UK, there are so many rip offs and scames going with regard to buying property too, with many estate agents being rip off merchants and over charging horrendously. Many homes are up for sale and not selling, prices are begining to fall and those who have mortgages will soon be in a negative equity position, many not even selling through estate agents because of the fees. Taxes are frequent, while the equivalent of the council tax may not be much, inheritance tax is a big issue, its payable within 6 months of death and kicks in after 15k€ not the several hundred thousand pounds you're all moaning about in the UK! You can't sell the property to pay the taxes either! 50% of new build homes are not selling and 9% of the housing stock is empty, people are being sold the dream of a property in the eastern side of europe from here now as they know the market is done here. prices of food and fuel are much the same as the Uk but wages considerably lower! So in the long term its more expensive to live here. Its all very well coming for two weeks and thinking its great, it not, its dull, and dead, shops dont open 24/7 and they only have sunday opening during the high season, thats if youpre on the coast as well! Its hard being here and I can;t wait to be able to get out... You will also be subjected to stacks of red tape and blatant racism as there is a huge resentment of the spanish towards the english as its the english thats built this place up, pricing the spanish out of many things.....you ownt get work for a spanish company unless you are completely fluent, dont even consider coming here to be a plasterer or builder, the place is saturated completely and they are all struggling for a bit of work, undercutting each other and almost working for nothing....

How to get a job as a doctor in Spain

How to get a job as a doctor in Spain?
I am from Malaysia. I am a doctor currently training under the field of Paediatrics. I wish to go abroad and work in Spain, and wish to be under a Paediatric training as well in Spain. Anyone could give me some answers as to how I can go about it? Are there any entrance exams? How's the working life (and salary) as a doctor in Spain?

You should firstly check to see if your qualification is recognized here in Spain. If it is not you will need to apply to have your qualification validated. Quite often you also need to have been in practice in your country of qualification for a certain number of years before you can do this - http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/121-how-to-get-your-professional-qualification-recognised-in-spain.html
2 :
Are you QUALIFIED to work in Spain? Do you have a work visa for Spain? Are you so spectacular a doctor that you eclipse the qualifications of the doctors already working in Spain? Did you know that Spain has an unemployment rate of over 20%? And that people are standing in line to do jobs that are far beneath their skill levels? CITIZENS and NATIVES of Spain?

I want to work as a nurse in Italy or Spain

I want to work as a nurse in Italy or Spain?
I'm from the UK, I'm a qualified nurse with a degree and I'd like to work in Italy or Spain. Id like to know: 1) If I can work there with my current qualification (I can work in USA, Australia, etc, so I guess so) 2) What knowledge of the language I'd need to acquire first 3) If there is anything like a nursing home for expats where I could work in English, and learn in my spare time for a year or so.

Well I am sure the answer to #2 is their language unless your working at a hospital for english speaking expats and tourists I would imagine the EU has some form of coverage for you in transferring your credentials... I'd talk to the british agency relevant for that as for #3 no idea
2 :
Contact the places you'd like to work directly is the easiest. Or Bunnac or searching for work holiday visas.
3 :
For Italy 1) you may need no more than to get your degree recognized by Ministero della Sanità. That's what's required even for a doctor. 2) It would be appreciated if you know Italian, but here in Italy there's such a need of professional nurses (seems everybody want to be a Doctor... :) a hospital near my home hired (although fo a temporary job) 25 Romanian nurses that didn't even talk Italian.

Whoever is hiring you should really be considering the health and happiness of their workers. Maybe you should buy some umbrella shade, sit down when you can, but I think you should talk to your employer. Spain is Beautiful
2 :
join a union, that way you get a paid 15 minute break every four hours, and a half hour unpaid lunch break, for most jobs anyway.
3 :
Maybe not. You should have lots of breaks. If you want to do something about your situation Then have alook at 1-2-3-MONEY.COM perhaps its some thing you may consider.
