OK before you shower me with vitriol I know that title is not true. Jobs are needed of course but that is not the main thing that Spain needs. Spain needs a new framework to hang the work experience on. It needs a new set of rules for those wanting to work. It needs a new start.
The Troika who will be controlling Spain’s future soon, Central European bankers and more, will not bring anything to Spain for this new start.
As I mentioned in my previous post, we have a new book out “The Secrets to Working and Making a Living in Spain” which we are hoping will be a best seller over a long period of time. To this effect we decided to eschew the now infamous internet marketing style product launch, wham bam thank you man and onto the next product, and go for the drip feed approach to launching a book.
I thought I would start this little article on work in Spain by telling you a few salient facts about Spain;
1) Unemployment currently stands at 22.9%
2) To set up your own business costs an initial monthly cost of at least 450 Euros with an on-going monthly cost of 350 Euros, even if you do not require office space or a place of work.
3) If you are self-employed, you do not qualify for any unemployment benefit if things don’t work out.
Answer me a question.
What’s a domain?
And another.
What’s a website?
And a last one.
What’s the difference?
Now you my dear reader know the difference and think that this is a stupid question because you are an intelligent and multifaceted being.
I have been working on a project which has seen the light this week six months after conception. But it is interesting to see how a project can develop over time and how “shipping” dates can easily slip as a minor project becomes more and more important.
