How to Find Work in Tenerife

Dreaming of working under the Canary Island sun? With vibrant nightlife hotspots like Veronicas Strip and busy beaches full of tourists, Tenerife is bursting with opportunities for summer workers. But how do you actually secure that ideal job in paradise?

Be Confident and Friendly

Bar owners and promoters want outgoing staff who can draw in the crowds. Smile, show your energy and make it clear you’re there to help them keep the party alive — not just to enjoy the resort yourself.

Expect Trial Shifts

It’s common for Tenerife employers to test you with a short trial. Use it to prove your work ethic, people skills and ability to keep up when the venue gets busy.
