Getting a job abroad

For many of us, the opportunity to work overseas is a dream come true. Working for a global company can provide fantastic scope to progress your career, but there are some things you need to consider before taking your skills abroad:

What should you expect in terms of salary and lifestyle, and what impact will it have on your CV?

Where is your experience lacking, and where are the exciting building projects taking place, or opportunities for you to work that will benefit your career? Also, it's worth keeping in mind if moving abroad will affect your career adversely?

Moving to a foreign country can be daunting, so Hays will provide you with as much relevant expert advice as possible on subjects such as accommodation, lifestyle and culture, banking, tax and education. This information will help you to make an informed decision about relocating abroad.

Hays' expert consultants also provide individuals and employers with visa advice and will ensure that you are fully aware of all the factors involved in an application process. All information is regulated and approved by our internal compliance team and an independent visa advisor, in order to ensure that everything is legally compliant.
