So you have a dream to move abroad? But you
need to find a job and you don't know where to start? Well good news is you're in the right
place! In this video we're sharing with you six realistic jobs you can do abroad plus we
have a bonus tip at the end so stick around! Welcome to our jobs abroad playlist. We've created
this playlist for you featuring other channels we think will be a helpful resource for you whether
you want to know more about one specific job abroad or you want to know more about all of
them, so we hope you find it as a helpful tool in making your decision. *Disclaimer* so as you
guys know from our previous videos we used to work on the cruise ships and as tour guides in
Europe, but keeping up with the Covid times we've intentionally left both of those jobs off of
this list along with being a flight attendant, but if you're watching this video in 2022 or beyond
definitely look up those three jobs as well and you know what, comment below let us know what the
future's like, have we made it, are we still alive? So with that said let's dive in. So first up is
being an Au Pair, now you might be asking yourself, what is an au pair? and basically what it is is a
young person between the ages of 18 and 30 that moves to a foreign country and lives with a host
family for a certain amount of time, and they help out with things like child care or just doing some
housework. So not only will being an au pair allow you to learn a new language and the culture of
the country that you move to but in terms of compensation, the host family will cover your board
and lodging and give you a monthly stipend, the au pair agency will also help you sort out all your
visas in order to get the legality for the country that you're going to work at. Job number two,
teaching English. So there's a bunch of different courses that you can do but the most common one
is TEFL, Teaching English as a Foreign Language. So you do the course online and once you get the
certificate you can either teach online or you could go to a foreign country and teach English in
that country. If English is your native language then that definitely helps in landing jobs. So
there are a number of different websites you can actually get the TEFL certificate from and the
one that I personally went with just because a lot of my friends had gone with this one, is called
Global TEFL UK and I did the master course for that one and you'll notice across all the websites
they all have different intensity levels and the master course is basically the middle level and
these courses just a tip, can be a little expensive my course was $500 but I managed to snag it on a
Black Friday Cyber Monday sale for only 60 bucks, so definitely look out for the sales. Opportunity
number three, transfer overseas with the company that you currently work for. So finding a job abroad doesn't
necessarily mean you have to quit your current job, if the company that you work for offers
opportunities overseas because they have international offices then you should definitely
look at transferring to an overseas branch, that way you can live your overseas life
without having to reapply for a new job, and if your company does not have international
offices you could always start by trying to find a company that you know has international offices
that is in your home country and maybe try and switch jobs and start from there knowing that one
day you will be able to actually transfer overseas. So this is for all you accountants, finance, anybody
in a very serious field where you feel like oh you can't move overseas because it's only
for like the digital nomads or something, you have so much opportunity even if you are in
this serious field, Matteo's cousin worked for Deloitte, a consulting firm and they had branches
everywhere she started here in South Africa, she went to the Chicago office, she went to the
London office, we have so many friends that work for accounting firms you know, the big four,
and there's so much global opportunity for you to transfer internally and still keep your awesome
paying job while living your dream life abroad so look it up! Before we move on to number four,
if you're getting value out of our video, be sure to hit the like and subscribe button
below. Number four, apply for a remote job that allows you to either work from home or work from
anywhere, also known as a digital nomad. If you have specific skills such as graphic design or IT,
these are highly sought after online positions. As a digital nomad you have the flexibility
to work from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. So a lot of people think that
when they move to a foreign country they actually have to have a job in that specific country
to be able to stay, but if you are a digital nomad and you can prove that you are earning an
income and you can support yourself, that you're not just moving to the country to bum off the
social services, if you can prove through your income that you do make money you can apply, a lot
of the times for what's called a long-stay visa, I know for Canadians there's something called
a working holiday visa so depending on what passport you have and what country you want to
move to and live in, there's different visa options. So because the biggest perk of being a digital
nomad is flexibility to work from anywhere, you might not even have to worry about applying for
long-stay visas if you want to travel while you work. So if you're only going to be in a certain
country for a couple weeks a lot of the times it falls within your tourist visa time slot, sometimes
you get three months, so if you're going to be under that, you probably don't even have to worry
about it which is another great perk. So next up is, interning at a company overseas. This could be more
applicable to someone who's freshly out of college, maybe you want to spend some time working overseas
before you settle down in your home country, but getting an internship just for a summer or
something like that at an overseas company can really open up a lot of doors, not only are you
going to be meeting people at your own company but you can go to networking events in that
city, broaden your network and again like we said a lot of the times it is about who you know,
who can help you get that interview, obviously you have to be qualified a lot of the times, but
knowing people and getting this even just a short three-month internship can really open up a lot
of doors for you. Number six is volunteering, this can be for organizations, for families, on farms, and
it's not necessarily a money-making job but it can lead to it. One of the best experiences I've had
in my life so far was volunteering on an organic farm in southern Italy. I made a video on it and
in case that interests you, you can find the video over here. So volunteering will once again cover
your board and lodging just like being an au pair, except it won't have the monthly stipend. Even
though you might have to sort out your own visa, volunteering is an awesome experience,
not only will it grow your confidence, it'll let you test new waters, you'll break out of
your shell, but you'll get to meet a whole range of new and exciting people and once again if you're
volunteering in a foreign country, this will open up the opportunity to network with different
people in that country, they might be working full-time jobs and you might be able
to kind of network your way into a job that has a sponsored visa. Just be cautious about volunteering
for gigs that make you pay to volunteer, they are out there I promise you, so be careful not to
pay for something that should actually be free. Now the bonus tip we promised you. So if you
watched our moving abroad checklist video, we've mentioned it there and if you're
interested in it you can catch it here but, it is Facebook groups for expats. Now we've talked
about this in our other video about how it can help you make friends and if you have questions
it can help you get the answers to things like healthcare and housing and just different
questions you have from other expats who have moved to the country you're trying to move
to. But another thing it does is it helps you network and if you ask people that you're looking
for a job in a certain field, there's a lot of the times that people will connect with you and say hey I
work there. Companies love internal referrals because they know that their employee is bringing
somebody in that they think would be a good fit, the employee oftentimes gets a referral bonus so
it's a win-win for everybody, so you can definitely use the Facebook groups as a networking tool
for your job. And even if people in these Facebook groups can't help you get a job at
their company, a lot of the times they can share resources with you that makes the job search in
that country a lot easier, that you might not have necessarily found on your own. If you got value
