Working abroad

[karma22]

If I wanted to work abroad how do I go about it?

I'm thinking its probably not as simple as jumping on a plane over there and asking for a job.

If you go to the Jobcentre plus website, they list jobs abroad.

One of the biggest problems you would face is the Language issue. Visiting different Countries for a Holiday is one thing, but settling down to work for a prolonged period abroad is another. Although English is Universal, you would need a degree of Fluency in Spanish, Italian or French etc to be able to have a proper working relationship with your work Colleagues.

you're female - 22y? Australian embassy grant 1y work for aged up to 25. Worth the exp. and females earn more than males. Get your visa and never look back.

Keep in touch - if you do it; would love to hear all.

Hi! It depends on where you want to go??? However, within the EU it should be simple if you don't need a special qualification. Otherwise they put all sorts of hoops in the way to jump through. The French have just started a simplified scheme for self-employment though. Fluency in the language is a must though unless you just want casual work. Many French go to England though as it's much easier to start a business there!

Just checked back here! Thanks for all you're posts. I think I would be best going to Australia or New Zealand for a working holiday as at least I wouldn't have the language barrier then (only an accent barrier lol) I am seriously thinking of doing this.
