Finding a job in Spain can be hard, especially in the South, as the market is very competitive. It’s a popular spot to work abroad, and the recession and relatively low number of jobs makes for limited opportunities even for locals. However, if you opt to get a job in Seville through a program provider, you can bypass the search and enter Spain with not only direction and an instant community, but also a job and a paycheck. Cha-ching!

Working in the south of Spain has an added challenge; Andalusía has one of the most particular Spanish accents in the peninsula, and foreigners may find themselves at a loss in the beginning (even if their level of Spanish is fairly proficient). Don’t panic! If you don’t understand what a local is saying at first, try to relax and view the obstacles as an essential part of adapting to the culture. Learning from it will guarantee an improvement in your language and survival skills.

Seville and its people are fascinating and enticing, and once past the initial cultural shock, everything about life in Seville, the art, the music, the food, the laid-back lifestyle, can become addictive. Not all Andalusians are born in Andalusía, and you may find yourself an honorary one.
