Getting a Job working abroad
Job working abroad Finding jobs working abroad can sometimes
take time and is not entirely without problems. We can give you
some help in finding work in Portugal and specifically in the
Algarve. The advise we give on the overall subject of finding
jobs working abroad is based on our expertise of Portugal, but
most things can be used as guide lines for any country inside
the European Union.
One of the most basic things anyone should do is to gather as
much information on all relevant issues concerning your move to
a different country. Don't waste your time finding out things
which are not strictly necessary. Make checklist and find the
answers to your questions.
Compare the cost of living and be sure you know how much you are
likely to get paid in a potential new job and look at the basic
cost of living. Pay particular attention to the subject of
housing. This is often the major problem and needs to be looked
at very carefully.
It will be an advantage if you could already be in the country
when you are looking for your opportunity. being at home some
2000 miles away will make things more difficult. Maybe you can
combine a already planned holiday with the search for your new
job. If you have relatives or friends already living in the
country ask them for help in supplying you with newspapers where
you can have a look yourself what kind of jobs are advertised
and you can gain a pretty clear picture about the prevailing
labour market.
But there are a few things everyone should carefully consider
and understand. The labor market is more difficult than it
probably is in your own country. The wages are lower and the
social security system is not as advanced as it may well be in
your respective country. Anybody who is willing to work can find
a job working abroad. It may not be easy, job centers do exist
but they are very different from the ones in the UK for example.
And if you use a job center in the attempt to find work it would
help a great deal if you could speak Portuguese. For foreigners
there are other and more direct ways of how you can find work.
How quickly you can find jobs working abroad will also be
influenced of what you are willing and prepared to do.
