Qualified, and still waiting.
Graduate unemployment in Spain sits well above the European average, and most of the advice on offer is the same page of tips everybody has already read. A specific conversation with a specific professional is worth more than all of it.

Moving between temporary roles and needing a route into something that lasts.
People aiming at work abroad
Wanting to work for an international employer and unsure how their CV reads outside Spain.

The things people ask first.
Can I have the session in Spanish?
English is the working language. Where a mentor and mentee share Spanish, they can use it.
Do you only help graduates?
No. Career changers and people already in work book sessions just as often.
How many sessions can I have?
Start with one. If the next question is different, you can come back.
