babydoll77

Hi,
Im a 18 year old female and me and 1 a my friends are planning on going to santa ponsa for the summer 2012 to work in a bar.. Anyone have any advice? Or anyone doing the same?

Given that Spain has an unemployment problem considerably worse than Ireland just how confident are you of getting work ?

Mr. Loverman

Have a look at www.jobsinspain.ie for English language jobs in Spain.

If I were you I wouldn't limit your search to Santa Ponsa. As the above reply says, it is hard to find work in Spain at the moment.

Saying that though, I've been to Santa Ponsa and really liked it there!

As with all foreign jobs, it is always a lot easier to get one when you're there in the country rather than a thousand miles away in your bedroom.

Hey OP,
My advice to you would be not to go to Santa Ponsa but go to Magaluf just up the road. I have been to santa ponsa 5/6 times with my family, with the lads and with the girlfriend over the years and it is just dead now!

Magaluf is much much busier with a lot more bars/clubs/restaraunts etc. and is just better craic in general! It has been given a bit of a bad name in the media but I was there for two weeks last year and didnt see one bit of trouble! There are police and bouncers everywhere so its pretty safe IMO! There is also palma nova which is basically the same resort as magaluf being about a 10 minute walk from maga! This is a lot quiter and is way more of a family place! It depends of what job you want!

You could always apply for a reps job with one of major holiday companys! They seem to have it tough with working hours but seems like an easy enough gig!

Just my two cents! Best of luck!

You'll deffo get work in a bar, but you will need to be good and experienced. Also remember you'll be working very long hours, for aprox €20 per day/night. At 18 yrs of age, unless you're very experienced, you haven't a chance of getting a job as a travel rep.

i have been there many times and its true that its way quieter now than it was 10 years ago. the irish scene there is generally working class , lots of construction people went there and thats why its quiet now. load of celtic jerseys and tattoos around the place as well - people drinking all day and puking all night while goign around singing ira songs so enjoy !!

its also true that you will work for 20 euro, sometimes you wont get a wage at all - just a place to stay and free booze.

As you are going over so early I don't think you will have too much bother getting a job for the summer over there. A couple of my friends went there in mid May and got bar work easily.

ok i would really consider this as i have a female friend who went and got a job in a nightclub, all was grand until she wanted time off and the bosses were turning nasty, basically the club was run by the mafia and she had to literally go on the run, i hope u dont think this is made uo, its not most clubs and bars in santa ponsa and magaluf are mafia run so please be careful, hope this helps

Done the season in Ibiza last year, mad craic.
San antonio is the place to go and trust me there is plenty of work in Ibiza..

Be prepared to work long hours for certain jobs thought. Ticket selling and bar crawls are popular day jobs, with the bar crawls meaning you get plastered n basically paid to party.

Variety of jobs out there. Know lots of friends who have done it.
If your looking for any info on where to go to look for work and accomodation and the likes PM me

Worked on the mainland and one of the islands, theres a lot of work for reps(pulling people into clubs) you`ll be lucky to find bar work straight away without experience. I personally wouldn't go until the end of May as its just not busy and there will be less jobs available.

A bar is the best place to work as with nightclubs they dont finish until 7am and you dont get home till around 8ish so it mens sleeping all day food and then work again for 6 days of the week its not a nice life to be honest but definitely worth a shot for the summer..

Costs about 600euro for the month. Going alone but trying to find a job is over there i think will be hard because i dont even know where to start.....!

Hi I am thinking of doing this for the summer. Just wondering did you do it in the end and how you got on? Did you get a job, was it enjoyable etc?
