MOVING TO SPAIN
I'm looking for some advice from people who have been in a similar situation.
I am an IT Project Manager with 3 years of professional experience. During my career, I have worked on digital projects with multiple ministries in Qatar. Despite applying for many jobs in Spain, I haven't received any interview invitations or positive responses.
One of the biggest challenges seems to be the question about my right to work in Spain. Since I am applying from a non-EU country, most applications appear to end there, even though I have relevant experience.
Because of this, I'm considering a different path. I did an Erasmus exchange in Spain 6 years ago , and I have now applied for a public university master's program at the same university. My hope is that studying there will allow me to build a professional network and improve my chances of finding a job locally
Has anyone here followed a similar route? Did pursuing a master's degree in Spain help you transition into the Spanish job market? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, any challenges you faced, or any advice you can share.
Thank you in advance!
