webmaster	Hi Amanda, I can offer some help to you... First thing you need to do is try an learn as much Spanish as possible before you go, buys books, dictionaries, etc... Too many people move over without having even tried to learn basics. The locals (and employers) will appreciate the fact that you have tried. First thing you have to do is soft out you Residencia paper, a document stating that you are legal to stay in Spain, i'm not sure who can help you in Gran Canaria with that. Maybe someone else will respond and help. You will also need this docuemnt to work, and buy a car, etc... Not sure what prices you'll pay for rentals, but the further away from the tourist areas you go, the cheap it will be for you. Re schools, you will probably have to pay for these, but i'm not sure. Bar work is normally the easiest to find, so you will want to go out and put yourself out there when you get there, i'm afraid that you are very unlikely to get any offers of employment before you are acually there. Please make some copies of your CV and take them around the businesses, so often people just wander into bars stating 'I'm looking for a job, anything going?!' Try and stand out! Work... You should get a contract, initially a three month one, then it could be extended to 6, and then permanent. All contracts entitle you to holiday's, how many days depends on what sector you are working. Please note, it is illegal to work without a contract and both the employer AND employee could be fined. Thats pretty much all i can offer you, apart from pointing out that the Canary Islands and very quiet at the moment adn you may struggle to get work, i'm not being pesimistic, just realistic! Good luck! P.S. Please note its 'Puerto Rico' and 'Puerto Mogán'!
Ingridjobs	Hello Amanda, I wouldn't know much about Gran Canaria, but in Tenerife for example there is the north, more industrialized and the south more touristic. I beleive it's similar there. Jobs go that way at each part. Las Palmas, the capital, would be the more industrialized city. You can get to know appartment prices at http://www.segundamano.es/li?q=&ca=35_s&th=1&c=58&x=1&w=1&z=&a=&m=&ps=&pe=&rrs=&rre=&ss=&se=&st=a (copy and pasty att that) prices go around 500€ depending on your requirements (on that page there's one for Puerto del Rosario...), most apartments are furnished. There are also job offers on that page (www.segundamano.es, all in spanish). At http://www.guaguas.com/ you can find some information regarding addresses. Always usefull: http://www.freetranslation.com/ The best luck!
