Editor’s note: This article was first published in December 2010, and the shows it mentions and the channels’ recruitment pages reflect Spanish television at that time.
In times of crisis, “and in other times too”, one way out is to find work or at least earn some extra money by taking part in any of the competitions and shows that television offers, or simply by filling in a questionnaire to join the staff of channels such as Telecinco or Antena 3 (two of Spain’s main private TV channels).
The offers are extremely varied: you can earn money as a debater on the well-known show “Buena Ley” or be one of the stars of “Mujeres y hombres y viceversa” (a dating show), because make no mistake, the people who appear on these shows get paid, and in some cases there is talk of 300 euros a day.
Who knows, maybe one day you’ll be the new Belén Esteban (a Spanish TV celebrity), only better.
Below are the links to the pages where you can find all the information and opportunities to earn money or work at Telecinco.
For formal job offers in the technical area, news, multimedia content and so on, just follow the link and upload your CV, and at some point you may be called.
And if what you really want is to be on TV, doing… whatever it is you do, whether by taking part in the shows you usually watch or in the ones about to launch, follow the link below, where you’ll find all the shows looking for active participants.
Without a doubt, a good way to make yourself known while earning some money in the process.
