Kinder Surprise

I got a request about right how I found work in Barcelona and more about that so I´m gonna see if I can put out something here now..

 

My first job here was in a swedish callcenter which I found via a swedish website. Callcenters are always good when you just moved here and need to get to know the city and people in the beginning.

 

After less than 3 months I had more than enough of the office and decided to search in bars and restaurants since I´m both educated and have been working with that before in Sweden. But of course it´s a different thing to do it in another country..

 

So if you already have experince, that´s great! That always help. But still in many places you don´t actually need it as long as you show that you want to learn and are good with people. Many times knowing different languages can help also. 

 

What I did was simply to walk around the city, mostly to english or irish bars, and left my curriculm. Try to always give it right away to the manager because otherwise it´s very easy that it just ends up behind something, all forgotten. And don´t forget that here in Spain they don´t want to read your life story. Simply just put in your cv education, work and abilitys like languages and always with a pciture of you! Without the picture, I can tell you, they don´t even bother to look.

 

That´s pretty much what I did, and what most of the people around here do. I got maybe 4-5 interviews and 2 trials the first round of curriculums I gave out but I also think that was very much luck. I´t not always easy but just be stubborn and come with a smile. Good luck!
