An example of a well-written resume

Russians often look for ways to go and work abroad. There are 2 main areas in which foreign companies offer vacancies:

1. For unskilled labor. The level of wages here is not very high for residents of the country, but students and people without education and experience can earn much more abroad than what domestic companies offer. This includes vacancies in harvesting, service, cleaning and others.
2. For highly qualified personnel. Foreign companies are interested in attracting experienced specialists in the field of medicine, science, innovative technologies. Companies are ready to sponsor internships and teach the language to talented and promising personnel.

The opportunity to make good money, develop professionally, learn a language and enrich yourself culturally - all this has led to the popularity of earning money abroad among Russians.

Students and unskilled workers in most cases look for or in nearby European countries. This is due to the popularity of American programs in the employment market, and in the case of geographically close European countries - the low cost of crossing the border.

Before choosing where to go to work, you need to find out some factors for yourself:

1. Degree of knowledge of foreign languages. To get a well-paid job, knowing only English may not be enough. In most cases, at least a minimum level of proficiency is required state language the country you are traveling to.
2. Scope of activity and payment. It will be easier to look for a job if you know exactly what position you want to fill or at least what field of activity you want to be involved in. It is also important to decide on the desired salary; carefully calculate how much money will be spent on rent, food, and other daily needs.

   Comparison of salaries in different countries

   Often, job seekers want to get a job at companies that pay housing and health insurance for their employees, even if wage slightly lower than for the same vacancies in other companies.

3. Availability of education and experience. This is especially important if the applicant is applying for long-term employment with high pay.
4. A well-written resume. In many European countries, applicants' resumes are first screened by computer and then reviewed by HR specialists. Therefore it is important to avoid various kinds errors, present information as accurately as possible, answer questionnaire questions succinctly and to the point.
5. Correctly executed documents that are necessary for legal employment. IN various countries The list of documents may vary significantly; you can find the list on the website of the consulate of the selected country.
   
6. Familiarize yourself with the legislation and law of the countries of prospective employment. It is important to know the laws of the state to which you are going to travel, either for work or just on vacation. After all, in many countries, Russians can pay heavily with a huge fine for no reason. This is especially true of Asian countries, where residents respect not only laws, but also traditions, including religious ones.

This is not all you need to know when searching required work. The list is simply endless and is individual for each country. Let’s try to figure out which countries are best to go to and what the prospects for employment there are.

Great Britain

Not every Russian will go to the UK for the purpose of employment, as this is a rather risky undertaking. Working in England and getting decent pay is not a pleasure for everyone. The unskilled is not particularly valued here. work force. There is even less chance of finding a job if the applicant speaks little or no English at all.

work at a UK university

The problem with finding work in the UK began back in 2008. Then the circumstances developed as follows: the global economic crisis shook financial condition all countries. Great Britain was no exception. Many workers, both local and expatriate, were laid off or laid off. So the job search became topical issue, requiring an immediate solution from both British citizens and immigrants.

Obtaining work in the UK was also made more difficult for Russians by laws passed in 2014, which also lifted restrictions on working in the UK.

These regulations tightened competition even further.

It is important to understand that at this stage of development of the labor market in the UK, only a qualified applicant can obtain a work visa. You can only go to the UK to work as service personnel, laborers and other unskilled workers illegally.

Italy

detailed map of Italy with provinces

For those who do not know the language at all, it is better to start their career in Italy from the south. Here you can start earning money without understanding a single word of Italian. In this case, the employer, if you are lucky, will pay for language courses, having mastered which, you will be able to move later to the north of the country, where wages are much higher. It is important to note that persons with higher education may qualify for good conditions work and residence in Italy.

We are talking, of course, about obtaining a Blue Card. This certificate is issued not only in Italy, but also in any other country that is part of the European Union.

This is what a blue card looks like European Union

Germany

Germany is a highly developed country, economic indicators which demonstrate constant progress and improvement of the financial and economic systems. A particularly important component of the German economy is its significant industrial capacity.

A developed industrial complex that constantly introduces innovative ideas and technologies requires attracting highly qualified employees. Specialists in the fields of science, mechanical engineering, electronics, and electrical engineering are offered to work in Germany. In addition, production often requires not only specialists, but also general workers.

A woman in Germany can most often get a job as a dishwasher, maid, cleaner, that is, service personnel, if she does not have qualifications and knowledge of the language. If you have a certificate or good knowledge of German, the range of earning opportunities, as well as the amount of your salary, increases significantly.

If she knows German, a middle-aged woman can easily get a job as a nurse, nanny, or governess. Having an education or at least a certificate of completion of a course will increase your income opportunities. For example, an ordinary hairdresser can receive 1,500 euros per month, which is a fairly decent salary for a visiting immigrant.

It is important to note that the implementation of illegal entrepreneurial activity in Germany this is a dangerous undertaking.

Even receiving clients at home, which is very popular in the beauty industry of the CIS countries, is prohibited here. Therefore, provide hairdressing services, manicure, pedicure, makeup services, etc. at home in Germany is fraught not only with a large fine, but also with deportation from the country.

How to check, Foreign Employment Agency. real or just SCAM

Who doesn’t have a smartphone, tablet, or computer now? And of course, almost everyone is looking for work abroad via the Internet. It's so convenient big choice vacancies in your hand. And therefore, Employment Agencies Abroad also go to online mode, create websites, groups on VKontakte, Pages on FaceBook, etc. And those who are looking for work and go to such sites, seeing beautiful design, convincing reviews and fabulous offers, they believe in what is offered to them and turn a blind eye to the most important thing - the license. So how can you check whether the agency you contacted works legally or is simply engaged in human trafficking in accordance with Article 149 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

1. The first thing you need to check is whether the intermediary who is helping you find work abroad has a license. A license, as a document, shows that the person to whom the license was issued is registered with the Ministry of Social Policy and can begin to establish partnerships. But in no way does this show that this person can send anyone anywhere. In addition to the license, the intermediary company must have a certificate of state registration and an agreement with a foreign employer. called “addendum”. The Addendum must indicate the place and name with which the intermediary is cooperating and for how long the cooperation permit was issued, and all this is certified by the seal of the Ministry of Social Policy. For example: if an agency has received a work permit in Turkey, this does not mean that the intermediary can provide employment in all cities of Turkey, but only in a specific location with a specific employer specified in the document. And certainly not in another country.

2. People who provide work are obliged to provide you with information about the work in the form of a contract (conditions, salary, health and social insurance procedures, expected expenses, etc.). This information must be certified by the stamp and signature of the person to whom the License was issued. So that you have evidence on the spot of what you agreed to when you arrived. What they simply tell you, in person or over the phone or via the Internet, does not matter at all. And it won’t help you if what awaited you on the spot was something completely different from what you were promised.

3. The agency must have a legal address, which is specified in the License, and a telephone number for communication. And not just the Website, El. mail or contact via personal messages. Ask for the intermediary's address and personal and work telephone numbers. You should check such telephone numbers yourself by calling and making sure that the person answering you is the person who is negotiating with you, or at least an employee of the same organization. Since many people claim that they work for this or that company, although in fact they have nothing to do with the company.

4. Each legal agency has the right to employ only citizens of its own country. By sending citizens of another country, the agency (entrepreneur, intermediary) violates the law. For example, if an agency officially operates in Russia, then they cannot offer work to Ukrainian citizens. They can, but it won't be legal. You are at risk and will not be able, in case of problems, to hold these people accountable. They will simply answer you that they have never seen you, they don’t know anything about you.

5. To work in another country you need to go only with a work visa and nothing else: tourist, cultural and other visas, obvious signs illegal aspects of employment. And no matter how much they convince you that it is cheaper, safe, proven, it’s better... This is dangerous and legal agencies will never resort to such a risk.

6. Fraudsters almost never ask anything about the professional skills of a potential candidate; they take anyone who responds. More often refers to working abroad for girls. When a person who is not knowledgeable at all can be hired for a vacancy as an aerialist. Offering work without knowledge of the language or work experience, promising to teach everything necessary on the spot. This is done in order to make money for each person sent, ensuring the quantity rather than the quality of the services provided.

7. Very often, scammers offering work abroad answer the question about a license that they are an information agency and therefore they do not need a license. Their job is to talk about the work and send documents to their partners, to trusted places, recommended intermediaries, etc. But this is a lie. Since the Information Agency has no involvement in intermediary in employment abroad. What exactly is a news agency? Information agency (wikipedia) is a specialized information enterprise (organization, service, center) serving the media. Its main function is to provide operational political, economic, social, and cultural information to the editorial offices of newspapers, magazines, television, radio broadcasting, as well as other institutions, organizations, and individuals who are subscribers to its products. The agency's functioning is focused on news gathering. This is a media service agency, not an overseas employment agency. Once a news agency has offered you a job abroad, it automatically becomes an employment agency, no matter what they call themselves. And in this case they need a license.

I have long wanted to go to work abroad, but two reasons stopped me. The first was the fear of remaining in a foreign country without protection, money and a passport. And the second is ignorance foreign language. Which of us fifty-year-olds studied at least English in full at school and university? Only a few, because then it was not relevant. Therefore, when I saw an advertisement in the newspaper about hiring women in a garment factory, I called and made an appointment for a consultation. There were 9 people in our group, and 7 of us signed a contract of employment after consultation. Because we were presented with certificates and registration number agency, shows the website and its pages on social networks, photos of the factory and dorm rooms. The contract was concluded for 6 months. Everything was organized clearly - transportation, accommodation in a hostel, familiarization with the workplace in the workshop. The first month was difficult - strangers, monotonous work on simple sewing operations, inability to communicate in transport and in stores. But then I learned new words and phrases - life forced me. So finding a job abroad without knowing the language is possible. But only through official representatives.
• Igor: Last year I decided to leave my comfort zone and went abroad to earn money in Poland. Without knowing the language, it is very difficult to find a job, and it is very difficult to survive alone. A friend of mine who lives in Krakow gave me the address of an office that recruits Russian-speaking workers. They offered hard work, the kind that in Russia is performed by guest workers from Central Asia. I worked as a laborer, concrete worker, and slinger for about 10 months, but I couldn’t do it anymore. Gradually I learned the basics of Polish and got a job at McDonald's. He worked as a waiter, cleaner and loader. It was difficult, but gradually I got the hang of it and began to speak Polish fluently. Now I work as a taxi driver, the earnings are not great, because the car is rented, but there is a prospect of earning decent money here.
• Olga: I came to Poland on vacation, but circumstances were such that I had to stay and look for work without knowing the language. I started by translating my resume into Polish and sending it out to job advertisements - mostly cleaning and washing dishes in restaurants. In one of the restaurants, they understood my situation and took me to wash dishes. They paid me 8 zlotys per hour (standard pay for such work at that time) with free lunch. Apart from me, there were no other foreigners in the team, so quite quickly I was able to start speaking Polish and new opportunities arose to find a better-paid job.

Feedback about working in Israel

Sergey: I myself live in Smolensk, I’m a welder by profession, here I earned pennies from us, and I decided to go to Israel to work as a welder as well. On the Internet, through a recruitment agency, they found me construction company with a team consisting of CIS citizens. The owner there is a Jew who left during the Soviet era.
There were fears that they would be deceived - they were Jews after all, but there was no need to worry. The salary is excellent, it can’t be compared with ours, I received about 2200 per month, if converted into dollars. Standardized days, salaries were paid on time, all safety standards were observed.
In Israel, everyone speaks Hebrew, and there are also many people who speak English. When you go out into the city, there are no big difficulties in communication. To buy something in a store or at the market, you explain yourself using gestures. There was a funny incident when a friend and I, using facial expressions and gestures, showed an electronics seller that we needed wireless headphones.

Feedback about working in London

He said the first thing that came to mind, took his water and walked away. Learn English! This may be useful to you.
