Hello all
Just wanted to take the opportunity to say Hi to you all and look for a bit of advice really.
There's probably not much that hasnt been posted already and weve read all your advice to other people which has been amazing, but I guess I'm just after some info on the current climate regarding job opportunities. My partner and I are desperately looking to relocate to Gibralter/southern Spain for the long term. He is currently an Operations Manager at a local leisure centre and qualified lifeguard. He also has an extensive call centre customer service backround. He speaks fluent dutch as he lived for over ten years in the Netherlands. Are there people in particular that we should be contacting? It'll be the two of us and our little one who is seven years of age.
Are companies actively looking to recruit right now and would it be of any advantage that we're looking long term. Id also like to find some bar/restaurant work and am considering going out there on my own initially to secure some work myself.
Im also a qualified painter and decorator and had my own business until recently and would be interested to hear from anyone in that line of work.
Honest opinions on living in the local are would be appreciated as I hear it could be on the rough side in La Linea for example. Just concerned for the little one not so much ourselves.
Regardless, who are likely to be the best people to speak to with regards to reenting a two bedroom house or appartment in the area. Unfortunately our spanish is minimal but is the first thing on our list to learn.
Anyway, thankyou for taking the time to read, any feedback would be greatly appreciated and invaluable to us.
Adios Amigos!
Jo & Nick
