Unemployed and Struggling.
Hey. So I moved to Spain, Madrid around 8 months ago. And I have been applying for jobs since then.
I am legally authorised to work.
I have 4.5 years of experience with Technical Recruiting and on and off teaching experience. I also did some independent tutoring before moving to Spain. My degree is non-eu one. But my degree is recognised.
I have been applying for technical Recruiting jobs and english teaching jobs in Spain.
So far no luck.
I am extremely demotivated and frustrated. I have multiple times checked if it's something I am doing wrong. Applying for jobs right now feels like banging my head in a wall.
I am a fluent english speaker. And before moving I was quite hopeful regarding my job.
Currently, I have lost all confidence in myself.
I feel like being in nowhere. I have thought about going into waitressing or anything but that requires B2 Spanish and I am not there yet.
I have tried applying outside of Spain. Netherlands, Irelands, Emea jobs but they all require sponsorships.
Anything with english leading. Still no luck. Not even an interview.
I have considered switching fields. I just don't know what to do.
Is it a Spain issue? Is it an European thing right now? Or is it just bad economic times?
But I have seen people getting jobs. So why not me.
Any suggestions? Anything would help.
What would it take to score an employment around?
