We live in the age of the digital nomad. The concept of remote work has quickly evolved from niche perk to universal standard for many industries. Whether you’re considering teaching English during a gap year abroad or interested in working with international companies, you shouldn’t let anything (even a pandemic) interfere with your career goals. And if having an international job is part of those goals, there are a few things everyone should know before packing up and moving to Paris.
While the opportunities are certainly available, finding work anywhere in the world is going to be a challenge—especially if you’re looking abroad.
Between securing a working visa and scouring job boards in a foreign language, you may soon find yourself feeling overwhelmed with more questions than answers.
Chris Frost, founder of Cogs Agency and international recruitment specialist, joins us to discuss how you prepare for a successful career abroad.

Do I need specialized skills to find a full-time job abroad?
Chris Frost:
When you are looking for roles overseas, the more specialized and harder your skills are, the easier it is to enter another market.
For example, if you’ve got data science experience and you’re relatively experienced in that area, then there’s going to be opportunities to move into markets that are crying out for those skills. Whereas if you’ve got a more general skillset, maybe in an area where there’s a lot more people in the local market or internationally, it’s harder to then relocate.
Can I land a job abroad if I don’t speak the native language?
Frost:
If you’re an expat looking for work abroad, I guess it depends on the country you’re looking to work in, which will tell you how important it is to be able to speak the language.
If you’re English speaking and you work in Singapore or Hong Kong or clearly Australia, maybe you’re from Europe or from the US, then clearly there’s going to be no issue. If you go to markets like China or Japan without speaking any of the local language, there’s going to be some challenges around the number of roles that you can apply for.
Of course, you can work in countries without speaking any of the language, as well, doing an international or global role. But it’s definitely something to investigate before you move to a market to see how many other jobs might be available for you down the line.

Should I move abroad before beginning my job search?
Frost:
I think if you can move abroad within a company, that’s an easy way to land in a country. If you’re working for a business that’s got international locations and you can relocate, that’s a great place to start because they can take care of your visas.
When you’re applying for a job from overseas, particularly in the current time, it’s very difficult to relocate. Visa processes can be controlled, if not closed, so that can be a challenge for getting into a country. I think, if you can line up a job before you come? Amazing. But sometimes, there are logistical difficulties with that, as well. If you’re in Europe applying for jobs in Asia or the US, where it’s got a twelve-hour drift in terms of time zone, it does become quite difficult.
And you might find that employers will look for people in the local market because of the logistics and challenges of relocating someone. Yeah, if you can secure a job before moving, [that’s] absolutely a great idea. If you can’t, then obviously you need to tie in other ways into the country and apply for roles that way.
