Now that you have immigrated to your preferred destination, its time to settle down! This would only happen once you have found a job for yourself and are financially secure. The chances are less at your end since you are new in the country and you sure would take time to get accustomed to the local customs and traditions. To help you with the same, here are a few tips which can help you make a start:
A professionally crafted country specific resume is an employer’s door towards peeping inside an applicant’s qualifications and experience. The Human Resources in each nation prefers to have information on the candidates in a certain specific format and also may have differing expectations on content. Your current resume may and in most cases will not meet requirements of such a format. So, you would have to prepare a resume as per the requirements of the local job market. You can also avail professional resume writing services which would help you prepare a niche resume without much effort.
Make a three-minute high quality short video on your qualifications, experience and overall job expectations. Talk about your qualifications and skills sets. Finally, make a mention about what kind of job profile you are looking for. It has to be remembered that the main purpose of this video is also giving an idea to the prospective employers about your English language skills.
Identify the executive search agencies and head-hunters that specialise in recruiting in your specialised skills sets and profession. Job hunters often focus on applying for jobs that are advertised on the employer’s website. While that may be done, the fact is that employers prefer to talk to candidates who are available for face to face interview and having local employment ID’s. Those who have not yet landed as permanent residents do not even get a positive response. On the other hand, job hunters and executive search agencies have a financial interest in placing candidates and will go out of their way in scheduling interviews.
Scan copies of the relevant pages of the passport on which your immigration visa is stamped are a must.
Scan a copy of your IELTS report that confirms your English language skills.
Scanned copies of your Employment Reference Letters that clearly describes the duties and responsibilities in your earlier assignments.
Put scanned copies of visa pages, your IELTS report, your newly drafted resume, the video, and employment reference letters and e-mail them to the shortlisted head-hunters and search agencies. Before sending these heavy files, always inform in prior to the concerned people that you will be sending them an email with attachments.
In your mail to them, do not forget to mention your likely date of arrival in the destined country and dates around which you will be available for an interview with the prospective employer.
There are plenty of such facets which form a pre-requisite for getting a job with matching skills in another country. One should never go for an important aspect like “immigrating to a new country” single-handedly. An expert by one’s side would only add on to the advantage.
