When is the right time to apply?

Do you want to work abroad? In this blog we will tell you when is the best time to apply and why!

Orientation

Before applying you should already have an idea of what kind of job you are looking for. Do you prefer a vibrant city or rather a quiet place? How long do you want to stay abroad? If you already have answers to these questions we can help you find a job suitable to your preferences and timeline. 

In addition to the right time to apply, we can also tell you how to choose the right destination in this blog entry. Do you have any questions regarding our vacancies or would you like to have a consultation with one of our recruiters? Then send us an open application and together we will find out which job suits you best. 🤝

Preparation

Have you found a great vacancy and can see your new, exciting, life abroad waiting for you already? Of course, this venture needs to be well organized. There are a few things that need to be considered: Here are some questions you should ask yourself beforehand: 

  • Have I talked about this step with the people around me? (Think of your family, friends, etc.)
  • Do I have the financial resources to start the adventure abroad? 
  • Have I already researched the accommodation options in my new home town?
  • Do I have to organize the relocation myself or will the employer help me with this? Or will the employer offer accommodation? 
  • Am I dealing with a notice period at my current workplace or place of residence?
  • Am I willing to go abroad for that long?

Also, keep in mind that you will be paid your first salary after your first month of work, so you will need to plan for some financial reserves. In an interview with our recruiters, you can find out how much money you should budget for this.

The right time to apply

Are you ready to start your adventure abroad and know which vacancy you want to apply for? Below we will explain the following steps: When you apply, you should consider the time periods and start dates of the different vacancies. Many employers are looking for applicants who can start at short notice, which is why the application process can then move very quickly. However, we generally recommend applying about 1-2 months in advance. This gives you enough time to prepare everything you need. You will always be supported by our team, who will accompany you and explain to you exactly what needs to be done. Therefore, you are never left on your own!👯‍♀️

Now this probably all sounds like a lot of preparation in a very short time at first. 😅 We understand that this can be a bit of a burden, as you may want to take the time to prepare well if you are going to work abroad. However, Yobbers and our experienced recruiters (who also happen to live abroad) will always be by your side throughout your process and answer any questions or doubts you may have.
