What is needed before traveling to work in Europe

Packing your bags and going to live and work in Europe at first glance seems easy, but it is not quite so!

Most of the people are attracted by prospects, career opportunities and a high standard of living. But such a step brings with it a number of difficulties, including financial and moral unpreparedness.

Think carefully before taking such a step, as well as not to come across fraudsters.

§ Seeking employment

Being financially independent this is the main goal and desire of everyone who goes to work in Europe. Having a job can allow you to rent your own apartment, shop for everything you need, save for things you badly want, and buy property in the future!

Job opportunities are available to any adult candidate with minimal experience and qualifications.

The easiest way is to find a job in services, light industry and agriculture.

Of course, paid work is in the IT sector, medicine, telecommunications and marketing.

The options for finding a new job in Europe are, as we have already shared, to search independently through job platforms or other approaches, as well as through recruitment agencies.

§ Relocation

Before the planned relocation, it is good to familiarize yourself with the language and cultural characteristics of the selected country. Also pay attention to the climate or mentality of the country, which may be an obstacle to your integration!

§ Financial preparation

Before any move, it is imperative that you have savings that will allow you to afford basic necessities such as food, medicine and renting accommodation.

§ Beware of scammers

There are unscrupulous employers who profit from gullible foreigners anytime, anywhere! The main reason is the ignorance of candidates with the main characteristics and rules of working abroad. In 2022-2023, you get an official job in the European Union only with the conclusion of an employment contract. The contract allows you to have guaranteed safe working conditions, pay on time and social guarantees. In case of violations of the contract, the employee has every reason to defend his rights in the Labour Inspectorate and before the competent court.

Your main attention should be paid when choosing a recruitment agency as your intermediary. Check for a valid license and experience on the labor market for at least 5 years. The presence of offices in the country also gives priority. Before signing a contract with the intermediary, carefully read the contract and do not sign documents with third parties without having studied them carefully.

It is desirable that the contract be bilingual, both in the language of the country where you will work and in your native language.

Our advice: When traveling to work in Europe, it is important to remember basic safety rules. You should not transfer ID card data to third parties and be misled by dubious job offers. Keep phone numbers and addresses of embassies, relatives and relatives for emergency communication. In case of danger, contact law enforcement.

Cookie settings The company Workforce Selection s.r.o. IČO: 09377506 manages the platform with job ads in Europe Workforceselection.eu We work with cookies and according to the new regulations we must inform you about their use. In some cases of advanced analytical and marketing cookies, we must ask for consent to their use. This happens (not only here) most often in the form of an annoying pop-up bar. If you give us your consent, press „I agree“ and the bar will no longer bother you. If you do not agree to the setting of cookies, press „Reject“ On our website we use so-called cookies, which are short files that our website stores in the browser of your device (computer, mobile phone, tablet…) from which you view our website. If you are interested, you can see what they are and what settings they have to change them if necessary. Functional cookies Without some cookies, our website would not be able to function at all. They help display website content or, for example, process logins. These files are called „functional cookies“. We use them too – we just can’t do without them. Analytical cookies We also have so-called „analytical cookies“ on the website. They do not affect the direct functioning of the website from the user’s point of view, but we, as the operator, need them for the proper functioning of the website. Without them functioning, among other things, we cannot properly assess whether the user perceives the site as we assume. They also help us determine if the website is working correctly on all devices or if there is a serious error. Last but not least, the output of these statistics is also important for the actual determination of the effectiveness of our partners’ advertising campaigns, on the basis of which they charge us for their services. It is therefore in our legitimate interest to use this service. On our website, we use the analytical tool Google Analytics from Google for these purposes. We use them in a setting that does not allow identifying a specific user through cookies. However, you can refuse the use of these cookies and inform us that you do not give us your consent. Marketing cookies We also use so-called marketing cookies on our website. In the basic settings, however, we do not use so-called personalized cookies, which means that your behavior is not further monitored and you are not followed by advertisements that would link you to a visit to our page on other websites or social networks that you visit. Likewise, we do not use marketing cookies to further plan campaigns in PPC systems. We use marketing cookies on our website only to primarily display non-personalized advertising from the Google Adsense advertising network and our internal advertising system. Advertising revenue is the main and only source of funding for our website. We couldn’t really function without them. It is therefore our legitimate interest to display advertisements on the website and use basic marketing cookies to operate our website. However, you can also give us your consent for personalized marketing cookies – AGREE. You can also refuse the use of these cookies and inform us that you do not give us your consent. If you don’t mind this cookie setting and at the same time want to get rid of the annoying pop-up bar, click here on AGREE. You can withdraw this consent here at any time or reset storage settings or reject cookies.
