Looking for work in Barcelona is much like looking for work in any other city in the world and there are a range of different jobs search methods, job types and contracts on offer. For those seeking work in Barcelona it is useful to know that you will require an NIE number in order to work. Once you have found employment and signed a contract you can apply for your NIE. This can be done at the police station on Rambla de Guipúscoa and will cost you €10. If you are from outside the EU it can prove to be a little harder and a slightly longer process, as you will need your work visa and other paperwork. After obtaining your NIE you will then need to get your Social Security number. This is a much quicker process where all you require is your passport, NIE number and address in Barcelona and it can be done in one of the many Social Security offices dotted around the city.It is also good to know that if you are planning on working as a freelancer in Spain you must register yourself as autonomy, and this does include a cost. This cost usually averages at around €200 per month depending on the work you do, however, for more detailed information you should visit your local Tax Office in Barcelona. If you are a native English speaker who has come to the realization that ‘I need a job’, there is plenty of well-paid work to be found where you can make use of your mother tongue. Over the summer months (July-August) it is relatively quiet as the schools are shut and many locals enjoy a long holiday, but starting from September there are plenty of jobs to be found. The hours tend to be very flexible, either block hours in the morning or afternoons or evenings, or you can find one-on-one teaching, in which case you can dictate your own work schedule. Aside from teaching work there are also jobs to be found in multinational companies. There are many companies that require telesales, marketing and customer service representatives. It doesn’t matter if you can’t speak Spanish or Catalan; many companies require you to speak English only. When you think ‘I need a job’ don’t worry, there are a number of websites to look for work, you can also post adverts about your own services and let the work come to you. hereBarcelona.com allows you to promote your skills and services to potential clients.
