EUROPE JOBS 2018
These people are easier to hire than somebody without a visa
because:many are already in the countrymost have a high quality education,
strong work ethics and are familiar with the local cultureHiring managers hence
ask themselves whether an overseas applicant who has never even visited Europe,
would actually like living in the country. This is much less of an argument for
people from other EU countriesSo competing against “locals” is always tough
when trying to apply from overseas. Below are some hints about tSo if the
hiring manager received your CV from Sweden but there are 5 more CV’s from
suitable candidates in Germany, it makes sense to interview these first.
(optimize the work-flow and reduce its impeding logistical complexity)Even your
CV is a solid technical match, hiring managers prefer to have interviews in
person (at least in later stages of the process).
And while a video chat is a
good way for a first contact, it simply won’t suffice to base a decision
whether to sign a permanent contract with you and pay for your relocation!The
challenge for hiring managers is: Even they’re excited about your CV, and would
theoretically want to invite you, they’re still required (usually by law) to
cover your expenses to travel to/from the interview. Fair? I think so.he most
common traps and some “insider” know-how to help improve your odds.
CVMotivation Letter (cover letter): if you can pull it off write
it in the local language. Keep it brief! Find common ground between the
job-spec, the skills in your CV, and the company information you have (do your
research). Ensure the cover letter is written for this one position.
If it
could be sent to several jobs it’s not specific enough and will do more harm
than good! Avoid common phrases and marketing bla!University diplomasUniversity
transcripts (showing grades)Reference from earlier employers (get them before
you even think of quitting your job and always get them when your superior
changes).
2 or 3 references (only supply them when requested) who may
be contacted.
Links to any interesting projects you did outside work
(github, sourceforge, etc … or even your blog)All European countries need the
workforce in any industry but these jobs are not always accessible...First of
all, you don't need a work permit...
