Work in Spain for non-EU citizens..Possible?

Question

Hi! I was hoping for advice from anyone that isnt a EU citizen that has been able to legally work in Spain!

I am 27 years old, an Australian citizen, university qualified in Economic and Social Sciences with Majors in HR Management and Industrial Relations, and am now completing a short postgraduate certificate in HR Management in Spanish in South America. I have worked in several multinationals in HR, and have been working in South America for the last four years. I speak fluent Spanish and also speak Dutch. I would stay in Spain for at least two years (if all went well, permanently).

So Im qualified in my field, and am fluent in Spanish... do you think I could find work in Spain? Do they tend to just favour EU citizens? Advice, recommendations? Any first-hand experience in finding work there as a non-EU citizen? HELP!

: ) Thanks.

Answer 3

They like hiring foreigners because they get money from the government when they do - but they tend to hire EU citizens...if you want to work in Spain you have to find a job before you go so they can sponsor you for residency but they really like hiring people who already have residency (ie EU citizens)....is how my American flatmates explained it to me...

I mean it's not impossible and you're well qualified...it's just a b**ch and Spain tends to roundabout and a pain in the booty when it comes to dealing with anything governmental
