Choose a Spanish location that fits the role

Use Empléate to examine the duties advertised in towns where you could realistically live and work. Compare schedules, workplace and requested language skills, including any regional language mentioned in the advertisement. Your CV should highlight relevant tasks from your experience and explain qualifications clearly, without assigning them an equivalence that has not been confirmed by the appropriate body.

Consult the relevant services before committing

SEPE helps identify public employment services, while the ministry responsible for migration provides information about procedures for foreign nationals. Select guidance matching your nationality and plans, then ask the employer for the documents and conditions associated with hiring. Retain the advertisement and written proposal so you can check that the responsibilities remain consistent as the recruitment process progresses.
