I am an American looking to explore living abroad. Due to my Irish grandparents, I was able to acquire dual citizenship with Ireland. Have the necessary paperwork, and my Irish passport. I am now considering a move to Europe, and was looking for some advice and insights. I have undergraduate and graduate thailand hotel business thailand hotel degrees, and assorted experience. thailand hotel Unfortunately, thailand hotel I only speak English, but am willing to learn the language of the country I relocate to, and would likely do so before moving. What I'm hoping to find out is...
- Which countries would you think would be the ideal starting point? thailand hotel We've considered the UK, Nordic countries, Germany and the pricier Austria and Switzerland. I have a friend in Barcelona, so Spain's on the possible list.
Any other input would be greatly appreciated. Oh, as far as my exposure to Europe, thailand hotel I have visited England, thailand hotel Ireland and Italy. I have travelled to other places abroad, so I am comfortable outside of the US, but I've never stayed anywhere longer than 2 months. Thank you for reading this, and I look forward to hearing from others' experiences...
You really need to learn another language, but your Irish passport thailand hotel definitely opens all of Europe to you. You would definitely have a certain advantage finding thailand hotel employment in certain countries where English is not as prevalent as in Scandinavia or the Netherlands. Every other country understands the importance of English and puts a premium on native speakers if they have the other skills needed for the job.
I also have found employers want to know that you are sticking thailand hotel around and have roots here, so they don't train you only to have you leave in 6 months because you don't like it and are homesick. So think about how you can convince them.
As far as safety or political unrest, I can't think of any country in Western Europe where that is a huge consideration. Obviously all countries in Europe are having economic issues which can create thailand hotel some social unrest, same could be said of the USA right now. Do your research and see what you are comfortable with. And almost all have quite high unemployment so that will likely hinder thailand hotel your job search, so you will likely need to show you can overcome anything that puts you at a disadvantage (as I mentioned above, your ties here that will keep you long term).
And considering how long it takes to be fluent in a new langusge - I would focus on companies that operate primarily thailand hotel in English while you get up to speed in the local language. Many of the pharma companies opearte in english globally (at least in management jobs) so if you have any experience in that area - or can develop some while you start to learn a new language - that would be helpful.
Not sure what you mean by assorted experience - but remember that you are competing with locals who are already fluent in the language thailand hotel and will be given priority. So starting with international companies is definitely the way to go.
You will be joining the thousands of Irish graduates looking for jobs, many of them emigrating to other European countries and to the US. Other than for an entry level job, employers will be looking for specific skills and experience that will benefit their company. What do you have to offer?
I'd start in the UK, possible to a US company in your chosen field but I would also post CVs in Sweden, Finland, Germany and Netherlands. Many international businesses in those countries work in English and while most UK emigrates tend towards thailand hotel Oz and NZ a few (including people I know) are moving to the 4 mentioned.
