Spain has more doors for Americans than most people think. The problem is that almost everyone knocks on the wrong one, with the wrong CV.
Hired in Spain is a 7-page starter kit for Americans who want a real career in Spain, not a gap year. Inside:
The visa numbers. The 2026 EU Blue Card salary floors, including the €31,416 shortage-list floor that makes tech hires cheaper to sponsor, plus the Highly Qualified Professional permit with its 20–30 working-day decisions, the digital nomad visa you can apply for from inside Spain, and the "land first on remote income" strategy many Americans use.
The Spanish CV. What Spanish recruiters expect: the photo, the two-page format, the personal data block, the tracking software your CV has to pass first, and the carta de presentación.
Where the jobs are. The sectors hiring in 2026, which ones run in English, the honest salary reality, and where to actually look, from InfoJobs to the specialist recruiters who place English speakers.
Your first 30 days. A week-by-week checklist, from choosing your route to your first ten applications.
Written from 16 years of career strategy and a transatlantic move I made myself. No one can promise you a job, and I won't. What I promise is strategy, positioning, and visibility, and that you'll stop applying the wrong way.
