This is a long shot folks.I am 47 years YOUNG have an 18 yr old daughter and we are trying to find work in Spain.I have worked in for Nat West Bank and the Post Office now in catering.I also ran a youth club and helped at my daughters primary school a few days a week.My daughter is at college at the moment.She got 6 A's at GSCE including Spanish.She also works in hospitality and catering and is wonderful with young children.We are both very good with our "people skills" and are very hard workers.If there is anybody out there who knows of any jobs we would be so grateful.Thank you

Thanks for the reply Teddy. I now I'm being picky but I worked for Nat West for 13 years and don't really want to go back to banking.Have a few friends stilll there who hate it.It's all targets and sales now with not much customer interaction and as I said I am more of a people person.Thanks for taking the troble tho xx

Lloyds TSB are opening a branch in La Zenia, but that doesn't really help you does it..

jan and Ellie

Thanks for your replies everyone 'I'll keep checking.We are both just really fed up here and everything council tax,utilities are just going up an up will have to get 2 jobs soon just to keep our heads above water.

Dont forget though that the average wage here is around €13k a year, and hours of work can be long ..... although it is a lot sunnier

jan and Ellie

I know but on minimum wage here and long days and the cost of living is going up so much

Also less work for yourself speaking the lingo is the key if looking at jobs as your looking at etc.

Good luck anyway.

jan and Ellie

Thanks John

So what do you want to do in Spain?

john1979

My post didn't make sense well to me, I mean if you don't get a job in Gib in an English environment your other choices you will have a better chance with fluent Spanish.
