I've got 20 years IT experience under my belt and four years Sales experience, am 39 and looking to move to Spain within 3 years. (want to get a good, stable career before commiting to full move). My Mrs works for Devon County Council Social Services (Child Care) and have been told that she could find work easy, especially in Gib.

Everyone seems to have trouble there and telefonica are five years behind. Wi-fi is expensive and not widely available and sim based systems are much too expensive. Spam post?

Very difficult to find them down here. Maybe try www.wemploy.com for jobs and www.jobtoasterspain.com. They normally list jobs on CDS and in Gib too. Justin _______________________ Spam post?

Jmtwsm - Hmm! Could bring in a high speed Sattelite link but you would need a good telecommunications infrastructure as the backbone. In other words, if the telephone lines in the area are of poor quality or non-existant, then forget it! However have got vast experience of PC Building/Maintenance/Repairs, troubleshooting networking (LAN/WAN-WiFi), Diagnostics, Repairs/Upgrades, Operating System rebuilds/re-installs, periperhal problems, PC/Network Security, File/Printer sharing etc. PS. Ain't 'Vista' a bitch to do some of the above - stick with XP SP2, life's easier! This message was last edited by TechNoApe on 5/23/2007. _______________________ Bribary will get you everywhere ...

We had a three to five year plan of moving to Spain, and after one year we have our (almost) ideal property 'signed, sealed and delivered' (with a few niggles - as is common in Spain) and have found that there are loads of jobs available for someone like myself, even if I have to change career. Look out Spain, here comes Technoape! _______________________ Bribary will get you everywhere ... So they say!! Spam post? If so please click here to report it

I was interested in your comment that your wife should be able to find Social Services Child Care jobs easily. That is my field and I have been told that there is no chance of getting work as a Social Worker in Spain. We had a Spanish SW in our office in Glasgow who said there were no jobs at home. She said that Spanish people tend to rely on their families more than in the UK for care and support, hence there is a less developed social work service. Would love to hear different as I am racking my brains thinking of work ideas for my move in a few years. _______________________ Claire Spam post? If so please click here to report it

Best of luck with this. Regards Rosi n This message was last edited by rosi n on 5/30/2007. Spam post? If so please click here to report it

I work in a children's home as a deputy manager for Social Services at the moment, and will need to find work when we move across this year. I have noticed that there are jobs in homes for the elderly now and then, also have seen jobs for British Nurses. I think that with the increasing amount of British people moving to Spain more and more jobs like this will crop up. Barbie _______________________ Babs Spam post?

Have also seen various jobs over the past few months for assistants in nursing homes, again in Sur in English. Good luck with the job hunt. It may be worth you putting an advert in Sur in English in the situations wanted section. Cheers. Barbie _______________________ Babs Spam post? If so please click here to report it
