You can use your network (on social media or in person) for valuable tips

These days, it seems almost everyone knows someone who has lived, worked, or studied abroad for a while. So why not take advantage of this valuable information and experiences?

Ask your friends, family, and colleagues how they experienced their foreign adventure. How did they make the decision to work abroad? What did they learn from their experiences? And what challenges did they possibly face? This is a great opportunity to learn from their successes and challenges.

Moreover, you can also ask these questions to the recruiters at Yobbers. They all have personal experience with living and working abroad and are happy to share their insights.

Know your ideal scenario

Your choice to work abroad is likely influenced by more than just work. There are numerous factors that play a role in making this decision. For example, do you want to enjoy the sun and beach, or are you a lover of snow and winter sports? Are you considering working in a country whose language you already speak, or are you adventurous enough to choose a country whose language you don't know? It's a good idea to make a list of your wishes and priorities so you can make a well-considered choice.

Once you have a suitable vacancy (or even several) in mind, make sure your CV is up-to-date and upload it to your profile. A well-kept and organised CV, which includes your education, work experience, skills, and interests, is essential. Take the time to do this before you apply. In this way, you invest once in a strong CV that you only need to update occasionally in the future. This demonstrates your motivation and professionalism. 🌞

Increase your chances

To find a job abroad as quickly as possible, it’s a smart move to apply for multiple vacancies at the same time, as this increases your chances.

Do your research 

Found your job abroad? Fantastic! A good plan is half the battle, which means that it is wise to do some research and immerse yourself in the country where you're going to live and work. Cultural differences can play a big role, both in everyday personal life and in the workplace. By gaining knowledge of this beforehand, you can avoid misunderstandings and uncomfortable situations. Moreover, this will help you integrate more smoothly into your new environment.

You might also want to start and learn the first words of the language spoken in your destination, as it shows respect for the local culture and will come in handy in your everyday-life. It's wonderful to notice how people appreciate that you make the effort to speak their language, even if you only know a few basic words. It opens doors and quickly makes you familiar with your new surroundings.

So, before you leave, practise some basic expressions and prepare yourself for an amazing experience where you'll grow not only professionally, but also personally.
