Before you go to work in another city, and even more so a country, you need to carefully prepare. Do not rush to take tickets to the coveted direction, for starters, consider several factors that will help ease the move and get the most out of employment abroad.
Start your job search before setting off on a trip.
In no case do not trust those people who tell you about the opportunity to quickly find work right on the spot. They either already knew where to go (they were expected there), or withheld from you some of the details that preceded the employment. But even if they are lucky, you should not count on your lucky chance. Otherwise, you will go broke in the first month, and then you will agree to work that is far from your dreams. So, start by looking for jobs on the Internet. Check out local sites and see what they offer. You may be lucky enough to contact employers and you can go to a specific address. But even then, check everything carefully.
Draw up documents in advance
Try to consider all aspects that are related to paperwork. Find out how to get a visa and for how long it is given (in your case, the visa must be working, that is, with a permit for temporary or permanent work). In many countries, such a visa is confirmed before your arrival. Then you need to know everything about a residence permit. This refers to a residence permit or other conditions for formalizing your stay in another country. This is very important, because violation of the regime threatens you with huge fines or a ban on entry for several years. Therefore, find out everything in advance, put your documents in order and carefully deal with all the confirmations that foreign partners guarantee you. Do not take a ticket until all issues have been resolved.
You will have to be content with a low wage
Only highly qualified specialists with whom agreements are signed in advance and who already had experience in a particular company receive a large salary. In your case, you need to be prepared for the fact that at first you will not be paid much money. But this trip still has its advantages, as this is a great experience for your horizons and improve your resume. If you demonstrate your knowledge and skills and interest a foreign employer, you can count on a decent future.
Sometimes (especially for students) language training, cultural immersion, homestay accommodation, a monthly allowance, and even paid airline tickets are offered. This is the so-called Peace Corps, which accepts all comers over eighteen. You can take advantage of this attractive offer.
Improve your teaching skills
You will have a great job opportunity if you know English. Any employer will be happy if he can freely tell you about his requirements, and you will understand him. Lack of knowledge of the language greatly reduces your ability to find the job you are dreaming of. And even if at first you cannot find the treasured vacancy, you will have the opportunity to temporarily work as an English teacher. This profession is the most demanded in many countries of the world. Therefore, do not waste your time and go to study courses. In any case, it will be very useful to you.
Explore the global capabilities of the company
If you work in a large company, an ordinary application can lead you to work in the place you dream about. Of course, there are not many chances here, but nevertheless they are. And if you are lucky enough to become an employee of a serious company (subsidiary or franchise) abroad - this will become the most financially stable option. Therefore, follow the offers and vacancies that periodically appear. You can get to the period when your organization will open new positions abroad. Watch out for these internal hiring opportunities.
Find a job that involves traveling abroad
If you always dream about overseas countries, but cannot find the opportunity to go there, find a job with the appropriate profile. We are talking about airlines, tourism, leisure, foreign journalism, professional travel, etc. There are other, less obvious options that require you to work on a global scale.
Very original and interesting will be the work in the field of geophysics, archeology and various government posts in the field of foreign affairs. In this regard, you should not focus on foreign vacancies, there are a huge number of opportunities to live in your own country, but constantly travel around the world. This is no less comfortable option to see other countries and join their culture. Be more determined and you will succeed.
