Looking for a job just got harder with the global recession. Here’s a guide to make things a tad easier.Maybe you haven’t heard but the worldwide economy isn’t doing too well. Spain hasn’t been saved from the crisis either.
In April, the Spanish government announced at unemployment had reached an astounding 17per cent. Of course that does not mean that there aren’t jobs out there, it just means that you have to look a little harder and probably for a lot longer than before.
Don’t despair, this guide will help make the job process a little easier whether you’re just starting out or you’re a veteran in the job market looking for a change.
Getting started: Writing a good CV
Writing a CV in Spanish is by no means an easy task, especially if you’re not a native speaker. While some companies do accept CVs in English, submitting one in Spanish makes a much better impression. The format is also a little different from those in the US and even other parts of the EU. Here are some basic tips for creating a good CV in Spanish.
Personal information (Datos Personales): Spanish CVs may seem a little more intrusive than others. Along with the basic information such as name, address (including email) telephone number, date of birth, and nationality, Spanish CVs require a picture and in some cases your marital status and DNI (National ID) number.
Education (Formación Académica): State all of the educational institutions you attended in reverse order starting with the most recent (Add dates in which you attended each institution). Be sure to add any awards you’ve won or special projects you worked on. You can also add your grades if they work to your advantage.
Before you head out to explore the new city, make sure your paperwork's all done by referring to our guide.
