Finding jobs in Spain? (country, moving, Spaniard, work)

[ellet87]

Help!
Me and my boyfriend are thinking of applying for the new working holiday visa deal that New Zealand and Spain have just signed for next year.
This new visa should be available early 2010.

We are just wondering how we could go about finding jobs in Spain? I am a qualified teacher and he is an engineer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.... oh yeah we are taking Spanish lessons now, so will know basic conversational Spanish by the time we arrive.

Thanks

spain is going thru really tough times right now. Is at the very bottom in europe regarding unemployment. Maybe you could start teaching private english lessons and then do job hunting but, a lot of spaniards are leaving the country due to really bad economy and poor job opportunities.

Good luck trying to find a job in Spain. The citizens of the EU can't find a job so there is no way they are going to give one to an American or anybody outside an EU member state for that matter. Europe, including Spain, doesn't hire based on who is most apt for the position. They hire based on need.
