Contributed by Marnley Rodriguez, Catalogs.com Top 10 Guru
International companies search for well-rounded individuals that will easily adapt to new cultures and ways.
Make sure you know the customs and culture of the country before making contact, as to respect any etiquette rules.
Here are the top ten ways to find an international job:
Before you continue reading about the Top 10 Ways to Find an International Job there is a special announcement we would like to share with you. Catalogs.com has negotiated special medicare rates for our vibrant community of seniors. If you are over the age of 60, you can head over to our Seniors Health Section which is full of information about medicare. All you need is your zip code and a few minutes of your time to potentially save 100s of dollars on your medicare bills.
10. Search by country
Where would you like to live? If you know a second language, would you love to immerse yourself in that culture? Look for an international destination where you’ll think you’d easily adapt but at the same time offers challenges.
9. Search by area of expertise
Are you adventurous enough to work a different skill/trade? Do you have any interests or hobbies that could easily go from hobby to work? Hobbies such as cooking, singing, playing an instrument or web-developing are great areas to develop in.
8. Search by company
Are there American companies in the country of your choosing you could contact? Companies always love to have a direct contact that is familiar with their culture and way of business.
7. Contact directly
Make a list of where you’d be interested in working and start contacting them by email. Directly email the Human Resources Department, as to know if there are any vacancies.
6. Follow up
After a business week, directly contact your reference person and ask if they received your information. Explain what you are looking to do.
5. Research work permit requirements
Do you need a special work visa or vaccinations? Find out all of this before embarking on the adventure. Some visas take a while to go through and vaccinations might need to be spaced out.
4. Do you want to study or teach?
If you are interested in a specific subject and would love to study/teach it in another country, look into local colleges abroad. Student/teacher visas are much easier to obtain and you will dive into a new culture all while studying something you love.
3. Research, research, research
I can’t stress this enough: research! Read about where you’ll work, research the company’s track record, study the city and places of leisure available as well as transportation methods.
2. Contact embassies
The direct communication to another country is by their Embassy, so contact the specific embassies you are interested in. They will most likely have lists of requirements and other much needed information.
1. Social media
Get on Twitter and Facebook and tell the world you are looking for an international job! Ask them to RT the message and you’ll soon hit with someone that knows someone that can get you in! Oh the wonders of technology….
