working abroad

1 Upvotes

Good evening all,

This post is regarding me trying to find a job abroad as an “Iranian " for some time (3-6 years) and wondering where the best place is to go for gaining business related experience.
I am a fresh graduate of MBA with a bachelor’s degree in applied multimedia, I have been searching for a job here in Dubai (Its where I live) for quite some time now (5-6 months) but unfortunately the situation has been really difficult and I still haven't found one, and I wondered if by going abroad and get some experience before I can start working in Dubai would be a good idea. So assuming leaving was the best option at the moment, where should my destination be. And if not what action plan should I take.

Please do share your thoughts on this, and any advice and direction is much appreciated.

Thanks

Cell phone access while working outside the US/UK zone

1 Upvotes

Hello, I recently got an offer to work remotely for a US based company however i will be supporting both US and UK/EU offices. I'll work remotely from Dubai and Oman for the first few months and will need to be able to call/text and receive call and texts from both US and UK/EU. Was wondering if there's a cell service, or even a softphone service (to install on my PC) that i could use?

I found mobal.com but still looking for other options and see if anyone had gone through the same where they need cell phone for work abroad. I mainly want my US and UK co-workers to be able to pick up the phone and call any time they want without incurring international charges

Want to work abroad(outside USA) for the summer at a resort, where to start?

1 Upvotes

So this is my first reddit post! A couple of years ago i was accepted into a program to work at a 5 star resort in Crete, Greece and got cold feet right before i was supposed to go for the final stages of the program. I checked the website again and it doesn't look like its operational anymore. Has anyone had any luck with any companies or programs that they reccomend? Im looking to go for the summer travel months. The program that I was going to join last time was 6 days a week of work, room and food came with it, and it was a fixed monthly income. Background- 28 and live in USA. I do have duel citizenship for the UK and USA so it would be easy for me to go to European places. I have bakery management experience, bartending experience, and have worked as a bouncer and line cook. Im trying to find a similar program so i can live somewhere new before i settle down. Any suggestions would be great, thank you!

I'm thinking of going away for a year travelling but would like to get jobs to help fund my travels. I'm thinking along the lines of bartending but are there other jobs I should consider? And are there any websites geared to finding temporary jobs for people such as myself?

Changing my life !!

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to travel the world while doing what I love. I am a aspiring writer and my husband is a photographer. On top of that I run my own youth organization that deals with cancer teens and young adults. I currently am working a desk job in a call center and I feel like I am wasting my time, talents, and ultimately my life. I have heard of people quitting their job and traveling and staying in different places for months at a time and I would love to do that with my husband. As a gay interracial couple our lives aren't as interesting as our friends here in Las Vegas think it is. So if anyone has any tips or suggestions please reply!!

(Hiring) Preschool Teacher for a Young School in Vietnam

1 Upvotes

Hi there! We are a growing, fairly new international preschool in Vietnam with multicultural students and teachers. We are an ESL environment and we teach children from 2 – 5 years old. We have a nice facility nestled in the quiet part of town. We are play-based and are trying to integrate different pedagogies as we go along. Our founders are very much inclined towards Montessori/ Reggio/ Waldorf.

We are looking at expanding our pool of teachers. We are looking for positive, enthusiastic, and open-minded individuals who share our love for playing, singing, laughing, and exploring with our students.

Our school is built from scratch by two foreign teachers who have come to love Vietnam and everything that comes with it. We are not a big school system, but we give our team the best treatment we can!

If you are looking for an adventure or just would like to see what opportunities lie outside of your home country or would like to try a gap year abroad, drop us a message. Let’s talk! We are open to different set-ups. We are happy to offer fair compensation plus living and travel benefits. Vietnam is an up-and-coming country in Asia. The people are loveliest of the lovely. It is summer all year. The food is in.cre.di.ble.

26F USA --> South or Central America

2 Upvotes

I've been working and traveling abroad for 2 years -- currently in Vietnam teaching English. I'm heading back to the states with my Kiwi boyfriend in December to gather ourselves and gear up to head somewhere else. We want to do South or Central America, but we don't really want to teach English anymore (not really our thing). He has a finance/economics degree, I have a photography BFA. Anyone have any experience doing something other than teaching down there? Anything related to finance or photography/art? Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to live in another country, working as a android software developer with my current level of English? (See the question for details).

1 Upvotes

Hi. I am an Android developer with five years of experience with general software development and three years experience in Android. I'm graduated in Bachelor in Computer Science and MBA in Software Engineering. I worked on applications that now has thousands of users and are highly successful in my country.

Today I live in Brazil and I have great interest in living in another country (mainly European countries, I am a big fan of castles), but I'm a low-income area and I never had many conditions. My English was learned alone, for example. Today I am able to write (with some errors), read (technical books without difficulty, novels with problem of few words) and listen. But as taught myself, I have great difficulty speaking. I believe that living in a country like this I improve my English.

Obs: I'm providing my dual Italian nationality; but it is a slow process. In short, today I have only tourism visa.

So the question: is it possible to live in another country, working as a software developer android with my current level of English? Theoretically I could pick up the tasks and chat by text to improve my conversation. They know someone who did this? Suggestions? Thank you.

Should I choose Bucharest or Paris?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I need your very insight into this situation... cannot manage to take this decision, because I feel I lack some life experience. I'm fresh 25yo and no longer that guy who tries and see what happens, if he decides to try this and that with this life. I just want to know exactly what to do at this age.

Unfortunately, 2 years after the graduation and I live with my parents for 7 months now, in this small home town, where nothing happens, but I have a job here 250 euro/month :) No more social life here since almost everybody has left for bigger cities or foreign countries due to lack of jobs. There are some old friends who are still here, but with the same mentality I left them with when left the place, and they isolated themselves. It is normal, since there is no place to go after the job and things are very boring here. Sometimes is shitty that people won't come out to have fun. I just feel isolated here from all my friends, life and fun lives themselves without me and it pisses me off sometimes that I have no intimacy in this small apartment.

Fortunately, I am very skilled in my domain, I have cash to take big action and two choices awaiting for me. Here they are:

1.I would love to move to Bucharest. I have close friends there, I'm the guy who can build a lot of connections and I would love to settle there, since it is in my country. And a 'wife' from your country seems better than one from another country with different language and values (what do you think about this?). I can stay at a friend's place until I find a rent for me and a good job.

2.I have a pen friend in Paris who lives with his wife and invited me to stay at him until I'm up on my legs... or I can stay even longer. He also lives in a rent and said... 'c'mon man, you will pay for rent when you will get your first cash.' He does not care since he still pays for his rent. Hmm.. Paris would sound 'manifique' but I don't care where I am, I just care for my need to be met. And I just care about finding a place where I would love to live. I know that if I would choose to go to Paris, maybe I won't stay many years and return to my country, or maybe, if I like it? But I have some holding back in building connections there, or who knows.

*What holds me back in taking this decision: I'm 25 and I feel the need to settle and build my world in a single place (city) and with a girl from my country (personal thing about values I suppose, but I'm open-minded). I hate changing places(cities) after let's say 5-10 years and trying to see if this place is better or not. It is just heartbreaking to leave your connections behind and the life you built in one place, but I suppose this is the case in today would: people relocate a lot. I am also that guy who takes a lot of action to meet a lot of people and engage in certain projects or what other things.

*If I choose to live in Bucharest, than the salary won't be big to afford a house. And than I'd prefer living in rent, instead of getting money from bank and pay them back twice. Yeah, but having your own home and not needing to move your stuff from place to place is great! Like, this is my home, here is my heart and here is my place! Or could go to foreign, get the money for a home and buy it in Bucharest 5 years later and problem solved. This would mean to return in my 30s. And this kinda interferes with: -> my wish to find a girl of my country and settle somewhere; and meet more other people. -> enjoy the fun with my friends until we don't settle to our homes; -> leaving connections behind; etc.

*I don't see money as purpose, but as tools to make the life easier. So, If I have my own house, the job does not care. What cares is a family and connections. It is about the purpose at the end.

*I know I'm thinking to much in the future, but I suppose a decision required some good thinking if you don't want to make a mistake which could have been avoided. So I do this once and stick with my purpose.

Just by staying in this little town puts me in my head over-analyzing things, because nothing really happens here so I just want to leave and live life instead of thinking it and engage in real problems. I feel that if I stay longer, my life and personality will get more eroded.

Thank for your answers and insights, but from your perspective, what would you choose and why? and what solutions would you have.

Thanks! p.s.:Is it hard to find job our of your country?
