Overseas job hunting

Hello stellick742,

Probably the most successful way to find a job abroad without leaving one's homeland to do a "boots on the ground" job search locally is to contact multi-national companies in your field of expertise at home that also have operations in the country you're thinking about expatriating to.

In most cases if these companies can't actually help you in terms of direct placement assistance, they probably can at least put you into contact with the right people in their HR Department in the host country.

Another method is do a websearch of those companies abroad because many of them have direct links to their HR Departments in their webpage. Make sure that you have your CV/Resume and a cover letter translated into the local language (if a non-English speaking country) to send via e-mail.

Cheers,
