Episode Details

Sick of endlessly scrolling through job listings that all feel the same? Yeah, same. This week on Abroadly Speaking, I’m spilling the tea on unconventional (but totally legit) ways to land a job abroad without relying on the usual suspects like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, or soul-crushing online applications.

We’re talking about:

• Volunteering your way into paid work (yes, really).
• Seasonal gigs with perks like housing and wine.
• Work exchanges where your rent = chores.
• Networking that doesn’t involve awkward cold DMs.
• Turning that weird hobby into a money-making expat hustle.
• And even how job fairs might not be the nightmare you remember from college.

Whether you're looking for adventure, stability, or just a damn job that pays the bills in euros, pesos, or francs—this episode is packed with ideas to help you break in without breaking down.

👉 Pour yourself a coffee (or wine—no judgment) and hit play. Your new life abroad might start with something way less boring than a cover letter.
