BENALMADENA WORK
Being a major tourist destination there are many hotels, bars, restaurants and shops and they all need staff. Some jobs are seasonal but as Benalmadena is more of an all year round resort there are regular employment opportunities in the tourism and leisure industries.
However, if you are looking for a different type of job you might need to travel to one of the 'business' areas like Marbella or maybe Malaga but you may find that many employers ask for Spanish to be spoken as a second language and there are many people that are not fluent in Spanish.
So what are your options?
Well there are employers that do not require Spanish but it does cut down on the number of jobs you can apply for. So maybe a good alternative is to consider heading down the coast about an hour and looking for suitable jobs in Gibraltar.
Gibraltar is a British colony located just off of mainland Spain and has a number of top companies with a presence in the banking and gaming industries. This means that there are many different types of jobs available from general admin through to IT and software engineers.
Lots of people on the Costa del Sol work in Gibraltar and live in Spain so it could be an option if you cannot find what you want in Spain itself.
Finding work in Gibraltar is much easier if you use an employment agency as they are normally the first to hear of new vacancies and have lots of CV's on file to put forward.
One of the leading recruitment agencies in Gibraltar is a company called Recruit Gibraltar. They have an easy to use website and an area where you can upload your CV.
Why not give it a go. You never know you might just have a dream job very soon
