9 steps to get a job abroad!

The recruitment process normally contains 9 steps. In particular situations the process can differ as each client has their own methods and procedures. Below you will find the general steps which should be taken:

Step 1: Apply / Submit CV

The candidate is interested in working abroad and applies for a certain position by submitting their CV.

Step 2: Initial screening interview by telephone

A Globaljobbing consultant will contact you by telephone for an initial screening interview. During this conversation we aim to learn more about your experiences, requirements, ambitions and goals whilst working abroad. We also discuss our vacancies and career opportunities with you. If a match is found and both parties are interested, we arrange an intake interview.

Step 3: Intake interview

The intake interview has 2 objectives:
1: During this interview we want to learn who you are, what you can, what you would like to do and what your ideal company culture would be. The consultant will find out more about your personality, ambitions, motivation and your talent. A test could be part of the recruitment process.
2: At the same time we discuss the vacancies and career opportunities with the candidate. We give you more details about the jobs, clients, procedures, company cultures, practical issues, relocation, salaries and benefits. After the interview the candidate informs the consultant for which position they would like to apply for.

Step 4: Introducing the candidate to the client

If both parties are positive and confident about the application, Globaljobbing will introduce the candidate to the client by sending over your resume and personal notes. We then wait for feedback from the client.

Step 5: Recruitment process with the client

The continuation of the procedure depends on the client. Every company has their own methods ad procedures. But usually the candidate must expect to have at least 1 or 2 telephone interviews and typically complete a language, soft skills and computer literacy test. Occasionally a candidate will be invited to attend a face to face interview in The Netherlands, Belgium or at client’s location abroad. It goes without saying that Globaljobbing will guide and support you during the whole application process.

Step 6: Job offer

If you’re application was successful and the client has chosen to hire you, you will receive a job offer directly from them. Congratulations! A date of commencement will be determined.

Step 7: Preparation

To make a good start in your new country, preparation is very crucial. We guide and support you with your flight ticket, accommodation, banking, insurances, tax and Visa. Assisting you with your relocation is very important for Globaljobbing, we try to make sure that everything works out smoothly. Making a good and fresh start reflects on the rest of your stay abroad.

Step 8: Your first day at work

Most of the candidates arrive in their new country 1-4 days prior the start of their new job. Now you have a couple of days to acclimatise and explore your new city. Then finally your first working day starts! We make sure that you will receive all the details about your first day; location, time, contact person and dress code. First you will start with an induction which takes between 1-2 days. During the induction the company will give you more information about the country, city, surrounding, the company itself, company rules and other practical issues. Then your extensive training will start in which you learn everything about the position: the products, services, systems, customers, communication, administration, procedures, guidelines, structures and your new team! After training is complete you are ready to start your new job!

Step 9: Enjoy

At the beginning everything is new to you. Your job, company, surroundings, people, sports and social life. Lots of social things are happening and you will meet a lot of new people so theres plenty of time to relax and to enjoy.You can learn a lot as well, most of the companies offer great career opportunities such as training courses and projects, which give you the chance to grow within the company.

After the placement

Once the candidate has successfully secured a position, your consultant will contact you regularly to ensure that the job is going well and you’re comfortable and happy. We care and want to know how your role is really going, if you have any reservations or concerns you must let us know, as a successful placement needs to satisfy both parties

ATMATA CALLING VARIOUS OPPORTUNITY

Students come to Hult to make a change, and for many that means getting a job in a new country. Hundreds of students succeed in finding employment abroad every year, 68% of our MBAs in 2015found jobs in a new country. And these students all have something in common: they worked hard to make their dream a reality.

Finding employment in a different country, especially in popular destinations like the U.S. and Europe, requires hard work, careful planning, and flexibility. And many of Hult’s students who do this are rewarded —75% of our international MBA students who studied in the U.S. last year found employment there after graduation.

Eduardo Sousa, a Hult alumni from Brazil, said:

 “I always wanted to work in the U.S., specifically in Boston – my Hult MBA helped me achieve my goal by developing my knowledge of the local market while building my network.”

Getting a job abroad isn’t easy, and simply attending any business school in your target destination is not a guarantee you will get a job there. Here are 7 strategies we’ve seen work the best for our students who found jobs in their target country:

1. Prioritize the change that’s most important to you

Some students come to Hult wanting to change their industry or work function as well as their location. If you want to maximize your chances of success, pick the change you want most and focus all your efforts on that.

If location really is the most important thing to you, be prepared to stay in your old industry or function until you’ve established yourself in your new country. You are much more likely to get visa sponsorship if you have experience in the industry or role you’re applying for as your employer is taking less of a risk if you have a proven track record.

2. Start your job-search early

Securing a job can take six months or more. Beating the odds means starting your job hunt as soon as possible so you’ve got time to get in front of the right employer.

Students who succeed start their job search early and arrive to school with a polished resume that’s properly-formatted and written in impeccable English, or the language of their target country. Their LinkedIn profiles lay out their professional experiences simply and clearly, highlighting their key skills. And their accompanying profile picture is appropriately professional. Hult’s Career Fast Track starts working with accepted students before they arrive in class in September. So students can arrive on campus with these tools already in place and can start job searching and networking on day one.

3. Target less competitive cities

Students often have ambitions not just to secure a job in a particular country but in a particular city. Well-known cities like New York or London for example have a highly competitive job market. You will be competing against the best people from that country, as well as international talent.

Many cities are hungry for international talent. In the U.S. for example cities like Seattle and Austin have strong-growing job markets, are actively seeking international talent, and are considerably less competitive. It’s a similar story in the U.K. in cities like Manchester and in the U.A.E. for cities like Abu Dhabi.

4. Target small and medium-sized companies

Many students make the mistake of thinking that the larger the company, the greater the chance of sponsorship. This is not necessarily the case. Multinational corporations are inundated with applications from international jobseekers, many of whom have a similar skill set. Smaller companies are looking for a highly unique talent pool and many are eager to hire multi-lingual international students to support foreign expansion.

Although smaller companies may only hire and sponsor one international student a year—it could be you if you have the skill set they’re looking for. It pays to think differently, avoid the “popular” companies, and connect with the small or medium-sized alternatives that may not recruit on university campuses, but who are looking for exactly the skills you’ve got.

5. Leverage your existing network and tirelessly grow a new one

It’s been said countless times before but the fact remains true: it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Your personal and professional network can yield great opportunities.

We’ve seen students successfully make the transition from their home country to target country by leveraging the contacts they already have at home. Does anyone in the company you used to work for know somebody in your target city? Any connection can help you get your foot in the door and start a conversation.

Hult provides students with frequent networking opportunities, through events like our Global Career Open House, corporate speakers and guests, real-world projects like the Hult Business Challenge, a network of 16,000+ alumni, and through the student body itself. Take full advantage of these opportunities while you’re studying but also seek out ways to network outside the school.

Our campuses’ central locations make Hult an ideal base for connecting with the businesses and professionals in the city and there will be more industry networking events available than you will be able to attend. Get out into the city and get networking. This can be challenging when you have a heavy workload but it’s well worth the effort.

6. Position your unique skill set for your target job market

Students who land a foreign job and sponsorship tend to present unique skills that their future employers couldn’t fulfill.

As an example, some of the most in-demand industries in the U.S. are in fields we refer to as “STEM” (Science Technology, Engineering and Manufacturing). Additional examples of in-demand areas are: Android and mobile apps, digital marketing and social media, data analytics, including data visualization, statistics and Google Analytics. Other countries will have their own “most in demand” list.

A critical skill set that is in high demand is language skills, and knowledge of local markets. For example, in Dublin, Ireland, where many technology companies established offices to support sales in Europe, there is an acute demand for multi-lingual graduates for high-growth careers in business development and sales.

At Hult, we work with you one-on-one to help you understand what your unique strengths are and how to position yourself within a competitive global job market.

7. Consider alternative entry paths 

There are several ways to get a job a in your target country other than to get sponsorship upon graduation.  It can mean playing the long game and returning a year or two down the line, but don’t give up if you don’t get a job in the location you want right away.

We’ve seen many students successfully gain employment in their target country by first getting a job with a multinational company in a region where there is high demand, and then transferring to the location they were originally targeting.  Some U.S. companies may even hire international candidates and train them in the U.S. during the 12 months they’re on OPT after graduation, before deploying them to work in another region.

MIDDLE EAST MANAGEMENT

More people than ever are searching for jobs internationally in the hope of gaining knowledge and experience from around the globe. In response to the economic upheavals of the last year, more Westerners are looking for employment in emerging markets, such as the Middle East, India, Eastern Europe and China. The benefits of international work experience can be huge, but you need to follow the right steps to find and land the right job. Here are five.

1. Research thoroughly. As in any job hunt, a serious research stage is very important. Take the time to explore the economic, political and cultural structure and stability of each place you want to consider moving to, as well as the effect your job abroad will have on your work-life balance and your career.

We remind our students that researching a foreign market is crucial. You absolutely must understand the region's cultural nuances, employment laws and language requirements. For example, you shouldn't move to China if working an 80- to 90-hour week isn't something you're willing to attempt. In the Middle East, you'll work from Sunday through Thursday; your weekends will fall on Friday and Saturday instead of Saturday and Sunday. Your personal life will be different as well. If you move from New York to Rome, you should be prepared to find many stores closed on Sundays and Monday mornings.

Carefully researching the visas and work permits for each foreign country is also essential, and you should do it early, before you apply for any position. If you don't already have a visa, your application may not even be considered. Many companies can offer you employment only if they can prove that there is no one suitable who already has a visa.

2. Use your networks. How do you find out everything you need to know? You can gather much of it from English-language newspapers for expatriates, such as the Bangkok Post in Thailand, and from the Internet and libraries, but getting advice from friends or family with first-hand experience in a region is invaluable. To get the most accurate picture of your potential fit, speak to other expatriates currently at jobs similar to the one you want. Use social networks to find introductions to professionals working in the area. Don't underestimate the power of sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook.

Also don't forget to check with your college or business school's alumni network, which should be able to provide worldwide connections. Every student at London Business School is connected to more than 28,000 globally dispersed alumni and should find it easy to discover more about any area, job or organization. The 2011 MBA class alone represents 59 different nationalities.

3. Make sure your job application stands out. Once you decide what employers to pursue in your chosen country, prepare an application that will set itself apart. Look at the demand for the skills you possess in the particular market and the best way to make yourself look preferable to a potential recruiter. There is a remarkable consistency in the basic set of skills recruiters seek. Our work with hiring managers around the globe shows that they all want strong communicators who have analytical ability, can manage people well and show leadership potential. Be honest about your oral and written business language skills. Speaking to your grandmother in your local Italian dialect at an occasional Sunday dinner is not the same as working for years in Milan.

Be prepared for differences in the application process across the globe, especially regarding personal information. In France, your résumé will be called a C.V. and will include your picture, date of birth, marital status and how many children you have. Your application will be infinitely more attractive if it bears a local address or a fixed date of arrival, if, say, you're applying from Chicago for a job in Warsaw. Even if all you do to start is connect up with someone local to use their mobile phone number or home address, you'll be more in line with local job candidates.

4. Prepare fully for your interview. After successfully securing an interview, do still more research to prevent surprises. In Japan your first interview may be a dinner with potential colleagues, so they can discover more about you and your family before getting down to business. In Great Britain you may be asked to participate in an assessment exercise involving role-playing, dealing with case studies and psychometric testing. Be sure to investigate what is acceptable in the culture. As an American, you may be used to flaunting your independent accomplishments; in Brazil, where teamwork and hierarchy are especially valued, that could make you appear self-centered or even disrespectful.

In any country, the initial interview may be conducted over the phone. Even if you're not meeting the interviewer in person, dress for the interview anyway, stand up when you speak, so your voice is strong, and smile. Your confidence will need to come through without any visual cues. Be sure to demonstrate flexibility and the capacity to adapt to new environments.

5. Consider the practicalities. Finally, ensure that you are personally and psychologically ready for the move. Even if you're going to a country where they speak the same language, you'll encounter differences in everyday life that require flexibility, patience and a sense of humor. Don't rush to judgment or make invidious comparisons about the new culture. Wherever you end up, relax and enjoy the different way of life.
