The Misadventures of going abroad to adventure.

The Misadventures of going abroad to adventure
Thousands of Spanish have taken the decision to leave our country to seek a future that is more complicated labor in these lands. The fact is that many travel and with a job offer in your pocket but others decide to take off on an adventure with the conviction that soon there, things will be easier. And watch for the adventure can turn into misfortune.





First, we must try to leave and with a job offer in your pocket. And with uncertain positions that opportunity is real and not one of those that pose a fraud for those affected. Some cases have known of alleged opportunities that have not been such when it has come to the country. In this regard, we must check that the company really exists and has the vacancy that we have indicated.



Second, we must bear in mind the language domain. If one goes to Norway for example and you know practically nothing of Norwegian, their chances of working there very much limited. Another thing is that one has accepted an offer that only require English or the company itself offered the opportunity to learn the native language.



And I can add a third element. Lately those workers who do not speak Spanish languages, have been a lifeline in the Latin American opportunities. There the language barrier is not an obstacle but legal requirements to live legally in these countries.



Not a good idea to illegally move to any country because we all know from experience what happened in Spain, which is what usually happens. Those who try will have to settle for jobs that do not want none of the nationals of the country, for a paltry wages and conditions that may rub slavery.



We know that the need tightening and in those circumstances, any attempt to get out of Spain is really tempting but like everything in life, do it head to prevent further complicate things.



I write all this because we recently received several testimonies telling the tremendous difficulties that are going through these emigrants from s. XXI. Many of them do not even dare tell their own experience by a certain sense of shame. And the worst thing is that few things can be done in these circumstances.



Therefore, we must ensure that our overseas adventure does not turn into a misadventure.
