Job Readiness Toolkit

A practical preparation layer before you apply: better positioning, better interviews, better decisions.

CV Positioning

  • Lead with legal/work status and relocation timeline near the top.
  • Use impact bullets with metrics, not duty lists.
  • Mirror role keywords from Spanish job postings for ATS match.

Outbound Scripts

  • Message hiring managers with one role-specific value angle.
  • Mention sponsorship/relocation needs early but briefly.
  • Follow up once after 5 business days with one concrete update.

Salary Negotiation

  • Discuss total package: base, bonus, relocation support, and benefits.
  • Anchor with city-adjusted net expectations, not gross alone.
  • Ask about review cycles and progression criteria in writing.

Interview Readiness

  • Prepare a clear relocation story: why Spain, why now, why this city.
  • Confirm interview language and expected technical format upfront.
  • Keep a document checklist ready for fast offer-to-visa transition.

Execution order

  1. Set city + salary target using Salary & Cost calculator.
  2. Shortlist companies with higher relocation score.
  3. Tailor CV + outreach for each role cluster.
  4. Run interview prep and document checklist before final rounds.
