The Town Hall in Reus can help you to find a job if you can speak Spanish.
I spoke to a man that worked at the town hall and he said they are always
looking out for people to translate from Spanish into different languages.
The town hall will look for translation work for you if you contact them
2 or 3 months before you arrive. Ensure to tell them both when you will arrive and
that you would be available to work as a translator.

What Kind Of Reus Jobs Are Available?
There are a few bars and restaurants in Reus that offer work but you’ll
be in with more of a chance to get a job if you can speak Spanish. If you
are looking for seasonal work and you don’t speak Spanish you should
head for the coast – to resorts like Salou. There is a large tourist
population there throughout the summer, and the hotels, bars and restaurants
all need workers who can communicate with the tourists in their own language.
In Reus centre the type of jobs available are more in the administrative
and office field. There is an office called Ocaso Assegurances just off
the Placa Prim on the Raval de Santa Ana. When I passed they had administrative
work advertised in the window.
You
can also search the official employment office webpage ‘work
in Spain’. You need to be able to speak Spanish, but it has jobs
available all over Spain in many types of industry. Click

The Average Wages For A Reus Job
The wages in Spain are generally lower than in the UK. If you are working
in a restaurant or bar then be prepared to earn between 800 – 1100
euros per month plus your tips. It pays to be nice to your customers because
the tips can make up a significant proportion of your wages.
Another thing to bear in mind is that some bars and restaurants may not
be willing to give you a contract if you are only working for a few months
in the summer. Legally they should give you one, or you should register
yourself as self-employed with the tax office and social security office.
Many people do work the summer without a contract, but it’s not officially
correct, so be aware of your rights.
If you work in an office job in Reus expect to earn up to 1,300 euros
per month. There is always the odd exception where you might gain more,
but this figure is for an administrative position. Again, you should be
given a contract to sign, but this may not always be the case immediately
as employers prefer to give you a trial first.
You can look for work in Reus in the bars and restaurants, through the local
papers, or with local employment agencies. If you don’t speak Spanish
you’re better off heading to the coast and looking for bar work. If
you speak Spanish there are jobs available for translators. The wages
in Reus and Spain in general are not as high as in the UK and you’ll
have to be prepared to accept less.
