Design - Working Abroad, Specifically Spain

Curious if anyone has had success in finding and design jobs (and/or including teaching) abroad? Would appreciate any stories or suggestions you could offer. I’d really like to live abroad, specifically Spain, for some extended period of have 10 years of experience + semi-fluent in Spanish. Thanks![/b]

Yup, I’d love to work there too. It’s tough. I have been trying to get a job in europe from here and it feels pretty fruitless. I have been attacking the big corporations that have hubs over there where everyone speaks english. I know HP has a design center is Spain. Wouldn’t that be amazing???

I do think, just going there and talking to people would lead to something. I might do it myself in Spring.

I am from Argentina, I spent 5 months in Madrid trying to get an interview and I only got one… :frowning: .

I have a good portfolio, resumè and cover letter, but I think the design scene is not very strong in Spain.

Besides, Spain has one of the lowest salaries in Europe :confused:

Think about it… how many products/brands do you know from spain?

I send you here some names, phones and adresses.
Good luck :slight_smile:
