Typical
Ways to Get an International
Job
A) Know the local language B) A company sponsors you to work or your current company sends you abroad C) You are married to a person in another country or have dual citizenship D) You have a specific skill needed in that country that is in demand E) Through an exchange program F) Volunteer and hope that something opens up If you don't have A thru F above, then this will become a bigger challenge for you. It's a common perception in some Americans minds that we can just show up and find work abroad since we are Americans. That's not entirely the case these days. You will need a lot of patience and persistence and you will end up finding out that you will usually need one of those items (A thru F) to get the kind of job you want. Many employment agencies around Europe and around the world will not even look at your CV or resume unless you have a valid work permit (or visa) to work in that country. Also keep in mind that many governments can be slow with granting work visas. Depending on your situation, it can be very common to still have to wait 5 months from the time you filed for a work visa to receive yours even if you are married to a local in that country. You can also try obtaining list of businesses in that country by industry and contact those companies directly.
