Hi,

Like many of you already did, I would like to take "the plunge". I'm a university graduate in architecture from UQAM in Montreal/ Canada, with 4 years of experience in the commercial field. I have been dreaming of living in Spain for some time now, but I only hope my timing isn't THAT bad due to the instable economic situation. I was aiming for Barcelona or Valencia actually at this point i would take anywhere. 

The job search in Spain is highly tedious, and i have trouble getting an answer from firms. I’ve translated my CV into Spanish as well as my letter of presentation. I’ve read a lot on the hiring process, but still nothing. I am also taking Spanish courses, and now I reached intermediate level. I am conscious that I need further classes, but it will come in time.

I was wondering if ANYONE has any advice or pointers to guide me towards a potential job. I think that if I had one foot over there it will be much easier and less of big financial risk.

In hope of some light at the end of the tunnel…

Alex
