Paid jobs with accomodation abroad

[beccac2901]

Hi has anyone worked abroad before? I am hoping to work in Spain or anywhere where they have knowledge of English preferably to work in a bar or cafe or something along those lines. However its necessary that the accomodation comes with the job and would like to know if there is any way you can work abroad and get decent accomodation with it? X

I worked in Gran Canaria for 6 months 2 years ago and speaking from experience there are two types of job:

1. The job that you get yourself i.e. working in a bar, restaurant, PR'ing etc and you sort your own accom out.

2. You work for one of the tour companies, work all sorts of rubbish long hours, never see the sun but you will have your accommodation provided.

Get ready to earn rubbish money as well, 2 years ago the average wage was 6 euros an hour, the only way to earn was to be an "entertainer" or DJ. Accommodation was dear as well, cheapest one bedroom apartment was 450 euros per month.
