This obviously is not just about me, I would like to hear about other young ex pats and their search for work (successful or unsuccessful)

Ive been out here for 3 months (as I said) and did work temporialy for an office out here for about a month and a half, now Im awaiting my bike documents and other bike things to be resolved, which does make the search for work harder, I have worked in the uk at McDonald?s for 6 months and spent a short time working for Systematic computer company, my Spanish is no where near fluent but with facial expressions and the Spanish I do know I can hold a conversation. My problem now is where to look for work and what sort of work, most bars want experienced people, and Fast food restaurants would probably want you to be fluent in spanish.

im 19 I have a BETEC IT Practitioner qualification from college, 2 Bs in English laungage and litriture , 2 Cs in science 1 C in graphics and a C in German as well as a C in Geography. I have a full C.V written out displaying previous work hobbies and skills as well as qualifications.

So any ideas or help on work areas or types with that info? It would be very helpful as im living with a friend and not paying rent as hes helping me out but I do need to move out soon and find work, luckily my family will fund for a small apartment near to my place of work.transport could take a while as there is alot of issues with my moped.

ANY ideas would be so so helpful as this is the quickest way for me to learn the language, and if im successful i can assist my family moving here for there retirement.(cold UK is affecting some of peoples health)

Try call centers, they now offer positions in back office and more depending on skills.

I found out that call centers sneak jobs in out here for lower wages to make cuts back in the UK, managerial, bi-lingual and higher technical skills apply.
