Rules and methods of studying and working in Spain

I. Provisions on working in Spain

The Spanish government has clear working regulations for international students: students must apply for a student work permit to work legally, and they can't go out to work during school, and the time should generally not exceed 30 hours/week. At the same time, in order to ensure the legitimate interests of international students, according to the Spanish labor law, even students have to sign an agreement with their employers, who have to pay social welfare insurance for international students who work, and pay 94% of the insurance fees, and the remaining 6% will be withheld from the students' wages.

Second, the way of working.

(a), the legal work during the university

Spanish law stipulates that students studying in language schools are not allowed to go out to work. Some students choose to work as temporary workers in Chinese restaurants, travel agencies, factories and other places. Generally, it will not be investigated by the government, but once it is discovered, it will bear legal responsibility.

Undergraduate and graduate students use their spare time to work to earn money. Usually, the positions they can choose are:

1. Family education.

Students can take advantage of Chinese, Spanish and English to find a part-time job as a tutor. Usually teaching Spanish children Chinese, the salary varies from person to person, about 6- 10 euros per hour.

2. Restaurant waiter.

Many bars will recruit students to take part-time jobs, and the wages in big cities generally fluctuate between 20 and 30 euros every half day, which requires students to have the ability to communicate in Spanish. Although working in a restaurant will be hard, it is also full of fun. For example, you can learn the production of paella and watch the production process of Iberian ham.

3. Chinese school teachers/teaching assistants

As a teacher in a regular Chinese school, students are required to have higher language skills and fewer opportunities. But it is also a decent job, and the salary will be higher than that of ordinary jobs.

4. Travel agency guide

There are many travel agencies run by Chinese in Spain, which specialize in taking tours from China, so many China students will work as part-time tour guides. On the one hand, there is no language barrier to communicate with tourists from China; on the other hand, we can make use of the advantages of Spanish to connect with local drivers, hotels and restaurants. Chinese tour guide is also one of the easier part-time jobs to find.

5. Cashiers in hundred-dollar stores and grocery stores

A popular part-time job with relatively low salary is suitable for students without work experience.

6. Translation

Part-time translation is suitable for students with high Spanish level. There is a great demand for accompanying translation in local large-scale exhibitions and corporate cooperation, and some companies also provide text translation work. Part-time translation is one of the part-time jobs, and accompanying translation can reach 100 euros a day.

(2) Legal employment during the internship.

In the last semester of undergraduate and graduate students, the school usually provides some internship positions for students.

Because Spanish universities will sign cooperation agreements with well-known local enterprises, and Spanish labor law stipulates that interns do not need to pay social insurance premiums, enterprises will be happy to accept interns and give priority to students from cooperative universities.

The salary of interns is about 500-700 euros per month, and they work about 20 hours a week, which will not take up class time. The reason why you are recommended to work and study through internship is because the internship company involves a wide range of industries, such as hotels, exhibitions, finance, tourism and so on. Students can choose companies related to their majors and feel the workplace atmosphere in advance. At the same time, it is also a way to deepen the understanding of knowledge by combining theoretical knowledge with practice.

The internship also provides an opportunity for international students to enter Spanish companies and formally take up their jobs. After completing three years of study, international students can apply to the internship company for employment and residence. Generally speaking, internship is a very cost-effective part-time way, which can not only make money to subsidize living expenses, but also deepen practice and prepare for future career.

Third, the source of channels.

For students who want to work part-time, internship or part-time at school, they can find opportunities through various channels.

1. Online social media and self-media

The vast majority of students get information through the Internet, which is efficient and effective.

Spanish authoritative online media include Xihua Forum and Oulang.com. In addition, there are various Weibo and WeChat official accounts from the media. They will publish and update all kinds of recruitment information in time.

2. Spanish Chinese media

Spanish local Chinese media, such as Hua Xin Bao, Sheng Qiao Bao, Zhonghua Bao and Lianhe Times, have set up recruitment columns, but the update speed is slower than the Internet.

3. Intermediary guarantee and recommendation

The education service center of Kunpeng, Spain and other study agents have signed internship delivery agreements with Complutense University of Madrid, University of Nebraska, King Juan Carlos University, Carlos III University and ESIC Business School, and recommended jobs for international students in their own channels.

4. Internship programs provided by the school

Excellent universities such as University of Barcelona, Autonomous University of Barcelona and Complutense University of Madrid all provide internship recommendations for outstanding students.

5. Recommended by friends or classmates

Many Chinese schools and Spanish training schools recruit part-time teachers, or many Chinese families recruit tutors.

In addition to posting information online, the boss will encourage existing employees to recommend each other.
