international jobs for expatriates, overseas career change

Searching for international jobs? How do busy executives and managers locate expatriate jobs? Take one minute to consider your current career. Research has shown that executives are happy in their career if it provides all of the following:

  1. INTERESTING WORK

  2. APPRECIATION OF EFFORT

  3. TEAM SPIRIT

  4. JOB SECURITY

  5. REMUNERATION AT MARKET RATE OR ABOVE

  6. INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL

If your management career does not give you all of the above then you should be proactive. Search for a new expatriate overseas job that does before you get trapped in a rut.

You are about to embark on your international job search for overseas jobs. There are some very important aspects of your overseas job search campaign that you must give very careful consideration if you are to successfully locate executive level international jobs. Unless you are in the unusual position of being actively headhunted you must take the initiative if you are to achieve your career search ambitions. Here are your overseas job search options:

Wait to be headhunted
For the vast majority of people this strategy will result in disappointment. Many employers are still reluctant to use an executive search firm to fill expatriate positions, citing cost and confidentiality concerns. Accordingly, it is reported that fewer than 5% of international jobs worldwide are filled in this manner. However, there are ways of dramatically increasing your chances of securing an international job.

Classified advertisements
Do you have the time to monitor on a daily basis international job advertisements? You may be able to keep up to date with local positions but, what if you are searching overseas? Expatriate jobs will be advertised that you will never see.

Networking
One of the most difficult personal situations is to actively go out and tell your friends and business contacts that you are career searching. Very few of us feel comfortable discussing our careers with people we know. Most of us are modest when describing our career. Employers however are not looking for modest people; they want individuals who can confidently sell themselves. Expert training and advice can greatly enhance your skills in this area and assist you to find international jobs.

Targeted marketing campaign
As over 85% of expatriate executive jobs are unadvertised it is essential that you prepare a high impact resume and cover letter that will broadcast your achievements to the business decision makers and executive search companies responsible for hiring executives like yourself. Using our powerful and focused worldwide database we can identify and put you in touch with such individuals.
A targeted marketing campaign utilising a high impact resume and cover letter is the preferred option for executives who want a fast and cost effective outplacement and international career search.

If you fall into any one of the following categories you are strongly advised to take professional advice:

  • Planning a move overseas.
