A Warm Welcome to your Job Abroad
An essential part of recruitment abroad is making a new social life for yourself. The Costa del Sol has a very cosmopolitan society - just about every nationality is represented on the coast and there are large British and Irish communities - and this means that making friends during your recruitment in Spain is so much easier. In addition, locals on the Costa del Sol are famed throughout Spain for their hospitality so newcomers are assured a warm welcome when they start their career in Spain. With numerous social events organised by locals and foreigners, the Costa del Sol offers plenty of things to do and filling your social diary is usually not a problem.
Obelisk employees have a well-deserved reputation for their friendliness and often organise Friday-night drinks and lunch out on Fridays as well as collective charity events. All of this helps you to feel more at home during the first days at your job in Spain.
An additional advantage to the Costa del Sol is that English is widely spoken just about everywhere, not just in tourist spots but also in many businesses and shops. When you work in Spain on the Costa del Sol, learning Spanish is not essential - many ex-pats get by with just a few words - but if you do make the effort to learn some Spanish you will have the chance to get much more out of life on the Costa del Sol. Learning Spanish opens the doors to Spanish culture and society, an enriching experience for anyone working in Spain.
Work in Spain - In the Sun
When considering recruitment abroad, many people look for warm weather. The Costa del Sol's principal draw - and the one that attracts most people looking at working in Spain - is its climate and Marbella enjoys one of the Europe's best micro-climates. Backed by high mountains which protect Marbella from winter chills and provide refreshing breezes in the summer, Marbella enjoys an average annual temperature of 19°C and an amazing 320 days of sunshine a year. With less than 50 days of rain during the year, the Costa del Sol is one of the few places in Europe where you can work overseas and hardly use your umbrella. When it does rain, it is usually from November to February and even then it is rarely cold. Marbella's pleasant climate is therefore a major plus factor to recruitment in Spain.
