Spain

Spain has a national public employment service, SEPE (Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal), and an employment service in each autonomous community with local offices. Start here:

  • Empléate – the SEPE job portal: it brings together the job offers of its partner portals, has a filter for internship offers and links to the regional employment services,
  • EURES – the EU job portal, plus EURES advisers in your home country and in Spain,
  • Punto de Acceso General – Empleo público – the search engine for public-sector vacancies; competitions are also published in the official gazette (BOE).

Many companies have a “Trabaja con nosotros” or “Empleo” page on their website. Most vacancies in newspapers appear in the Sunday editions. Networking and personal contacts matter too.
