El problema con España es que el país no le otorga un trabajo a un inmigrante mientras un Español este sin trabajo. Por esa razón muchos inmigrantes no pueden levantar cabeza.

Hey, where did you study while in Spain?.. i will be studying in Barcelona for the Spring of 2010.

Unfortunately, africancamelhumper is right (they’re not going to give a job to a foreigner over a local without work), unless of course it’s a menial job that locals don’t take, and if that’s the case, you’re probably better off staying at home. The usual advice applies here: you may have a skill that’s in-demand in Spain, and you may be able to find a position that can’t be filled by any locals for whatever reason, in which case your employer will do all the paperwork for you. Slim chances though, especially since Spain is feeling the pinch during the current economic downturn more so than other EU countries.

On a positive note: if there’s any internship opportunities for non-native-Spanish-speaking foreigners learning Spanish or foreigners learning European business/law (or whatever it is you studied), or any youth work programs that invite non-Europeans for a period of time to work in the hospitality industry, do some online research on this. You may find a breakthrough. And if you have a parent or grandparent who’s actually a Spaniard (born in Spain), you automatically qualify to be able to work and live in Spain.
