I am thinking of working in Germany or Spain but have no clue what the first step would be. I do have an administrative background and have been taking lessons in both languages. I just want to go and explore the world and be able to afford to do so.

You need to check the working holiday agreements between the countries you are interested in. I know that Germany has one with Canada but I don't know about the US. A lot of Americans seem to work in Spain. The thing with being an Administrator is that you really need to speak the language. I have been lucky because I have gotten jobs that didn't need the language and they sponsored my visa. You really have to hunt around. Spain does seem to have a lot of jobs - see http://expatriates.com. Germany is harder because the language. I used to live there for school and there were lots of North Americans in telecommunications there. England is probably a better choice. They have a lot of Admin jobs and I believe they have an agreement with the US for Working Holiday visas. You can work for one year. Kelly Services there is happy to take people on a one year visa.

you're literally not an ecu nationwide, that's not likely to ensue. if reality study, you're a bartender, and they are ten a penny the following. Sorry. that's not the languages that are the issue, that's the visa element. you won't be able to stay and artwork in the different u . s . a . and not using a visa. immediately, the in common words people getting visas for the european are those with skills and skills that cannot be chanced on in the european. you're out of success. and do not attempt to go back over on spec, possibilities are extreme you is purely not licensed to board a flight and not using a go back value ticket. you should shop on with for the interest even as in the U. S., and in case you get a job furnish from a organization depending in Europe, then you truthfully can shop on with for the visa. The interest furnish isn't any assure you receives that visa, because it ought to first be shown there are not any interior reach or eu nationals available to objective this interest - and at present there are very particularly knowledgeable persons searching for any type of labor, so how do you imagine you would fare? the issue is an same for Europeans searching to relocate to the U. S. - that's totally very puzzling. a chum of mine from eire replaced into not licensed to board a flight to ny because he did not have a go back value ticket, and they didn't wish him staying there illegally. try Canada or Mexico.

It's not easy. Other countries are not as open to immigration as we are. Work visas can be a real pain to obtain. Your best bet would be to try to get a civilian job with the military. Check out government and military websites for international job postings.
