Hi Beth, how are you?

My name is Jose. I was an expat in Brussels last year and I am already back in Murcia, my hometown, so probably I could help you with the things you mentioned, if you still need it (looking for flat, shopping, immersing into our culture, etc). I could also show you some groups for language exchange, if you are interested in, introducing some friends of mine and even recommend nice places around to visit, including our wonderful beaches of course!

Please count on me for anything you need. We all know how hard (but exciting!) is being an expat at the beginning

Best,

Jose

Hi Beth, are you still in Murcia? How are you getting on? We are hoping to move over next Summer. Danielle

Hi Jose, I saw your post and was hoping you might help me with some info! I used to teach in Madrid, hoping to move to Murcia next year ( we have been on holiday and love it!) do you think there will be much opportunity to work as an English teacher? Danielle

Hi Danielle, how are you?
Yes indeed, I think there are some opportunities of working here as an English teacher if you are a native speaker (especially considering that our English level in Murcia is not very good! ). You have different ways for teaching, e.g. private lessons, independent school or academy, public school ("colegio público" for us, equivalent to state school if you are from the UK) or even our Official School of Languages ("Escuela Oficial de Idiomas"). You can have a look to the last call for these public jobs, this is the link: borm.es/borm/documento?obj=anu&id=725350

Of course it depends on your personal situation, if you are moving here with your partner and children, you will probably need to find another job, a kindergarten, etc, and plan everything well in advance.

Feel free to mail me if you need more information, ok? And good luck for your new expat-experience!

Regards,
Jose
