Linda C – Dublin

Why did you move?

I had been dreaming about working in the day and then spending long evenings on the terrace sipping Rioja for years! I was sick of the weather in Ireland, the lack of outdoor activities and I just wanted to be near a beach. A few personal elements in my life changed so I decided to take the plunge and move to Southern Spain.

Problems?

My first problem was that I could not afford to just move away without going to a job, but it seemed nearly impossible to get a job unless I could personally interview. The answer for me was to get my CV together and send it out to RecruitSpain a few weeks prior to booking some time take a holiday in the area. I made RecruitSpain aware that I was coming over and they set up some interviews for the time I was in the Costa del Sol. In this way I got some sun and was able to personally attend interviews, which is what was necessary to secure a role. I was lucky enough to be offered a job and the company were happy to wait a few weeks for me to get over fulltime.

Advice?

Make sure you know what you want and where you want to be – then be very flexible!

Successes?

I am so happy that I finally plucked up the courage to make the move over and live a new phase in my life.
