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.
