Hi All, first thanks for this forum Ive found it to be a great source of information on living abroad.

Im planning to move to Marbella next month, I have an interview for a UK based company tomorrow which is also based in Marbella. I really want to go even if I cant get the job, Im well presented and British, only speak basic Spanish. What are the chances if I needed to get a bar job or something basic to tide me over I could fine something?

Ill have around 3k of euros as a buffer

Hope the interview went well! I live around 20 mins from Marbella and if you can get a good job with a UK based company in Spain you are doing well. there are lots of expats and spanish locals unemployed although things are definitely picking up, especially in the hospitality industry where a good summer 2015 is predicted.

If you don't get the job you want, there is bar work available but you'd have to get in very soon as lots of places tend to get filled ready for the summer season, with speaking only limited Spanish you'd really be restricted to English type bars or restaurants.

Either way good luck, hope you get what you want.
