Work Abroad Wednesday


10 Tips to working abroad

1. The first thing you need to do is decide where you want to go and work!

2. Then pick the region or even town or city that you want to base yourself in.

3. With a nation and a location in mind you have to think about getting a work permit or residency visa.

4. With the country, the city and the paperwork sorted it’s time to think about actually working abroad and the capacity in which you are hoping to be employed.

5. Looking for jobs abroad can be done via the Internet – you can contact employment agencies local to the country or even town you’re hoping to head for, you can contact agencies specialising in international recruitment, you can contact agencies specialising in recruiting for the work you’re hoping to secure.

6. Another top tip is thinking about whether you know people who live abroad.

7. If you want to travel and work abroad, consider getting a qualification or gaining skills in an area of employment that is portable.

8. If you have a particular skill or area of expertise and you’re not sure where in the world you want to work abroad, try and find out where your skills or areas of expertise are most in demand.

9. Think about the financial aspect of moving abroad very seriously.

10. And finally – even before you go and certainly when you’re on the road travelling overseas, remember to network actively! It’s not what you know in life but who you know!
