Educational Challenges in Spain and a Job Application

Educational Challenges in Spain

Nowadays in Spain, there is an educational problem. Most people do not continue with their studies, and 50% of university students leave before finishing their degree. They cannot pay the high tuition fees that the Government has established. Furthermore, there is no job to obtain financial support. To solve this issue, the Government should reduce the price of the tuition fees and make a proper distribution of scholarships because sometimes the Government gives money to people that do not need it. These changes could help many students to continue studying and find a good job to pay for their studies.

Dear Mrs. ...,

I am writing to enquire whether you have a vacancy in your school for a Spanish teacher. I enclose a copy of my CV for your consideration.

I have just finished a degree in English Studies at the University of Alicante, and I am looking for my first employment after graduating. I have completed a course in teaching English and Spanish as a second language, and I have 2 years of experience as a trainee in a Secondary School in Spain. I have also worked as an English teacher for beginner courses at a language school in my hometown. This short experience, combined with my knowledge of English and Spanish and my experience as a student of second languages, will assuredly help me to fulfill my intentions of developing a career as a teacher.

I am enthusiastic while remaining responsible and efficient. I am empathetic, motivated, and reliable. Moreover, my previous experience has allowed me to become used to working with children. Thus, I am able to manage a classroom on my own, but I am also a keen team player.

I enclose my CV, and I will be available for an interview from the 12th of June onwards. Mr. Niñoles, headmaster of the language school High School English, has agreed to act as my referee.

I hope you will consider my application for this post. Should you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact me.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Ms. Clara Libertad Bono Pastor
