Hi everybody!I have decided it, I´m moving to Gallway.
I´m from Spain and I´m thinking to leave my job and look for a job in Gallway.
I´m a computer engineering, do you think i could find a job in Gallay?
Although my english is not bad, I´m thinking to do an english course in Gallway so that I can improve my english unless for my first month.
It is said that there are many computers company settled in Ireland and in Gallway.
What can you suggest me? Is it easy to get a job in computering in Gallway?
I don´t mind working in another activity to earn money, but i would a computer job if it´s posible.
This is a huge step in my life. It´s the first time I left my house and my island!!!
I live in Canary Islands.

Thanks in advance!!!

If you have the qualifications it will be easy enough to get a job that you want. Galway is a growing city and is expected to be Irelands second biggest city by 2025 so there is plenty of companies around and they will be there for a long time to come.

I would like to take this moment to warn you though. The weather in Ireland sucks. Its cold and wet. It will be a shock to the system for someone from the Canarys

Fisrt of all, I want to thank you all again for all your help.
My idea is to do an english course at the Gallway Cultural Institute and look for a job in that month.
I´ve decided to go to Ireland because there many computers companies settled there. Furthermore, It is said that Irish people is very open minded, happy and
hospitable.


Thanks again!!!!!
