Effective Tips that Will Surely Improve Your Chances of Being Hired Abroad

Good salary – one of the main reasons why people work. Let us be practical that people choose jobs based on how well they pay. Some may find this too practical but people need to work to buy things that they need and want. However, getting a good job in the Philippines can be a pretty difficult task. It is a little challenging to find a job that will suit your needs and even match your expected salary. This is the reason why most people hope to get a better job opportunity in countries abroad. Companies abroad offer promising salary packages that will surely make Filipinos strive harder to get that job. However, entering the global market can be a task. Hence, one must know some ways on how to improve their chances from being hired.

First of all, one must set his or her objectives.  Lay your objectives about what kind of companies that you would like to work for. If one is able to define his or her objectives, targeting on the companies that you want to work for will be easier. Study the about the country you are wishing for to go to. Explore the different companies that have the job you are wishing to have.

Another tip on improving your chance to be hired abroad is by connecting in the social media. Weird as it may sound, but headhunters and hiring managers look for possible hires over the web. Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many more have helped employers know more about future hires. Following their accounts on these sites is helpful as they usually post their job hiring and vacancies. Moreover, you can also be interactive with them by posting comments on any news they post. This will make you remember then for your contributions.

In any job application, a comprehensive resume is highly recommended. Make your resume appealing. Remember that you are somehow selling yourself to the companies so you have to impress hiring managers and employers with your qualifications that will make them say. “This is the exact person I am looking for.” Provide certificates on any seminars you have attended or examinations like English competency tests. In addition, include any licensure examinations you have and make sure the license is still valid. Moreover, being hired abroad not only focuses on the skills one has but also with the efficiency in speaking the English language. Communicating in the English language is very important and a plus to your application. Hence, take an English proficiency test to add to your qualifications.

Knowledge, experience, connections – three important factors one should consider when planning to work abroad. Keep this in mind and you will surely be globally competitive.
