Episode Details

Looking for a job abroad? Buckle up, because today we're diving into the reality of international job hunting. Forget the myths—just showing up in a new country or assuming your English skills alone will land you a job isn’t the golden ticket you think it is. In this episode, we’ll break down the most common misconceptions about working abroad and give you actionable strategies to actually land a job.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why “just showing up” in a new country won’t guarantee you a job.
• The truth about English speakers being in demand abroad.
• The visa vs. job dilemma and which one you should focus on first.
• How multinational companies can be your best bet for job sponsorship.
• Why LinkedIn (used strategically) can be your best friend—but not your only tool.
• The power of networking and how to do it without being that person who cold DMs strangers.
• Why taking a lateral move (or even a slight demotion) might be your ticket abroad.
