For most of us who have lived here in Madrid a while, we know that finding a job isn\u2019t always easy. When I moved to Spain in 2014 the unemployment rate was a staggering 25% but fast forward 5 years and that number has nearly been cut in half<\/a> to around 14% today. In order to combat the high costs of labor, many companies have resorted 6 month temporary contracts. If you aren\u2019t one of the lucky ones that already has a job when they arrive, this can make it tough for an expat looking to establish a new life or break-in to a new career.<\/p>\n

Salaries are much lower around half of what you would make in the US or a two thirds in the UK<\/a> on average so you will need to keep an open mind because despite the lower salary, you can lead a very comfortable life with a range of benefits that come from full-time employment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Be proactive with your job search. Relying on job sites and LinkedIn<\/a> won\u2019t get you very far and make it very hard to stand out from the crowd. Focus more on local ads and be willing to go in-person to visit potential companies you are interested in. Even if they don\u2019t have positions posted you would be surprised by the opportunities that arise from a face to face meeting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Learn Spanish<\/strong><\/a> if you want a full-time job!<\/strong> English speakers are able to find jobs reliant on tourism in the big cities and coastal hotspots but you won\u2019t find a lot of full-time opportunities without it. Not only does it show that you are committed to your position long-term, but the majority of co-workers and day to day interactions are going to be made much easier if you can communicate. There are also ample opportunities<\/a> for bilingual speakers in customer service, hospitality, sales and other customer facing positions here in Spain.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
