Hi all,
I'm glad to found this forum 'cos it's pretty useful for everyone who don't know enough about the things in the island. Already I'd decided to turn back in this summer and get a job. I'm desperate and I want to play it safe that's why I need your assistance. Already I have some qualifications, like leaving certificate, qual. travel guide, qual. fitness trainer etc. And I would like to ask you to let me know which things are material I have to make an exemplified copy to add to my CV.
Foreshow to reponse.

depends on what type of job you are looking for. Many non spanish speaking jobs/employers dont ask for any qualifications. If you are working for an english beauty salon for example then your UK qualifications/certificates would be needed, however if you want your qualifications such as a degree to be recognised by a spanish employers then you need to have these certified by the spanish educational authority. Usually degrees, higher diplomas etc dont work on the same level and you are required to take a conversions exam (in spanish) then they issue you a new qualification relievant to spain. I have found that a UK degree is oftened "dumbed" down to a higher diploma in spain. Hope this helps.
