Summer jobs in Spain 

Doing summer work in Spain will give you the opportunity to have the best summer ever. There are a variety of jobs you can do, especially in the hospitality industry. Spain has a lot of bars, restaurants, clubs, and fun terraces. Therefore there are endless opportunities to work as a waiter/ waitress, (assistant) cook, bartender, you name it! Besides this, there are also enough opportunities to work in a hotel or resort. You can, for example, work as an animator and entertain all guests. Sports instructor is another possibility, where you will lead fun sporty activities for children or adults. Besides this, there are opportunities to work in the front office, restaurants/ bars, cleaning, etcetera. If you love the beach and are you a responsible person, then you can apply for a lifeguard job and work on the beach the full day! 

But why should you go abroad? 

Going abroad is good for your personal and professional development. You will learn a new culture, new language, and new norms and values. This will enrich your personality. Working and living abroad is a challenge, and you need to step out of your comfort zone. As we all know, getting out of your comfort zone is always valuable and worthwhile. 

You will get to know a lot of new people, and probably make friends for a lifetime! Outside your working hours and on your free days you will have enough time to explore the country. Summer work in Spain means a variety of weekend trips to do. Are you going to Barcelona, Valencia, or Ibiza? Having international experience is always good for your future career, due to everything you will learn while being abroad. You will get truly independent during your time abroad, due to all the challenges you have to overcome. You can’t quickly fall back on your family and friends and everything will be strange and new in the beginning. Therefore you will grow as a person. Everyone in the Yobbers team has at least one experience abroad, and every single person will recommend going too! Multiple people already wrote about their experience abroad, for example, Carmen who did her internship in Valencia. 

What you can do in your free time 

Spain has good public transport and this allows you to reach other cities or islands easily. Our marketing intern Lotte already went on a weekend trip to Barcelona and Mallorca for example, and our recruitment intern Kate went to Málaga, Marbella, and Ibiza! All from Valencia by train, bus, boat or plane in a few hours maximum. However, in your free time, you can also enjoy your own living area of course.
