Hi, My husband and I are originally from Zimbabwe and have been living in the UK for 9 years now, we have two children. We feel its time to head to the SUN :cheese: We have been to visit Spain twice and really loved it…our issue now is to find jobs…does anyone know how to begin to find jobs…My husband is an electrical engineer and works on landfill sites, I am a mural artist and find most my own work.  I also work part time as a care worker in a residential home.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Michelle

Hi Michelle,

This might seem obvious, but have you starting looking at our working in Spain section yet? Particularly there’s two pages most relevant to your situation: jobs in Spain and working and being autonomo (like working independently).

So check those out and come back here to ask anything else that you might need to know!

To improve your chances of getting a job you should learn Spanish, especially if you buy away from the coast. Very few people speak English in rural Spain.
