First-hand experience

A s you’re probably (hopefully) aware, moving to a new country can be a pretty major change. If you’re seriously considering it, you’ve probably already visited the country you’d like to work in. If not, it would be well worth your while to plan a trip. Not only will it give you a taste of the culture you’ll be immersed in, but it can also increase your chances of landing a position. “Visiting your target country and setting up some informational interviews is always a good move,” says Glen Loveland HR Manager, China Central Television (CCTV). “International employers are more reluctant to hire candidates who have never visited the country where they are trying to land a job.”
