Are you ready to embark on an exciting career move overseas?
Creating a personalised list of wants and needs can help you make informed decisions. In this video we cover six steps you need to create your list.
Consider what matters most to you in terms of your career growth and advancement. Do you value skill development opportunities, potential for promotion, or the chance to work on meaningful projects?
Evaluate your needs and expectations. Research the cost of living in your desired country and compare it to potential salaries and benefits. Make sure your financial needs can be comfortably met in your new location.
Think about the lifestyle you desire in your overseas career move. Work-life balance, cultural fit, social opportunities, and access to amenities and recreational activities should be taken into account. Determine how important these factors are in your decision-making process.
If language proficiency is essential for your desired job or the local working environment, assess your language skills and determine the level of fluency required. Decide whether you're willing to invest time and effort in learning a new language if necessary.
Investigate the demand for your skills and expertise in your desired country. Look for industries or sectors that align with your career goals and aspirations. Identify whether there are ample job opportunities and evaluate the potential for professional growth.
Reach out to professionals who have experience working overseas or in the specific country you're targeting. Ask about their experiences, the challenges, opportunities, and factors to consider when making an international career move.
By following these steps and considering your values, goals, financial needs, lifestyle preferences, language requirements, and job market opportunities, you can create a personalised list of wants and needs. This will guide your decision-making process and help you find the right career move overseas.
