Smile Palma de Mallorca: Side Jobs

Hi to everyone! My name is Dan and I am a newbie.

Recently I've finished 3 years of a Bussines Administration programme and in March I'm going to Palma de Mallorca to start an internship in a real estate company. Unfortunately it's poorly paid (only 300 euros per month), but the place itself really attracts me so I accepted the offer.

So since I want to become financially independent, I am looking for some additional earnings (though I don't speak Spanish, only basics). For example some side jobs or freelance. I have already some experience in big international companies, what is displayed in my CV. So please, can you advise me something?

I know few languages (Romanian, Russian, French), so it can be tutoring or touristic services; I love photography (but I don't have a decent camera). At least I can do some manual work. Or maybe you have some offers? I would be extremely grateful.

Cheers.

Wow, €300 is pretty bad, even for an internship. Are you getting some support from family? It will really depend how your working hours are?

Yes, it really is. And no, won't depend.
I have some savings for few months. My family can help me, but I want to avoid this. That's why I need something additionally.

The problem I see is that if you have a full working day, you won't have many choices. Bar wok would come to mind, but if you have a 9-5 (or longer) job, would you really want to work in the evenings?

That for sure won't be longer than 9-5, so I could work few evenings a week or even all of them. Would be hard, but trying to find the best solution.

Thanks for a prompt reply.
