Working abroad, to be or not to be

Posted by | Posted in Jobs Abroad, Work Abroad | Posted on 22-06-2009

Well, if given the chance to work abroad, am I ready to leave my family and friends behind? I would really love to teach in Tokyo and explore the rest of Japan but then finding a job in there is never a piece of cake. Their laws on immigration are one of the strictest on the face of the earth. I can also try to go to the United Kingdom and be a nursing aid or a caregiver, or do housekeeping or apply for a chambermaid post in Canada or Italy perhaps. If ever I have come to decide which one to pursue, I need to know some agencies that help deploy workers abroad. That one is not hard, but the hardest part is leaving someone special behind I guess or else both of us are willing to work abroad. Why not, it’s just like saving for the rainy days!

Where the Pastures are Greener

I have been working locally for more than six years now and the thought of working in a different country has crossed my mind. I mean why not? Some of my friends and classmates in high school and college are already out of the country and working overseas, and if I would look at their photos in our social network, they seem rather happy and stable. They say pastures are greener in a different country that is why people chase them.

Working abroad can possibly give me more than double of what I am earning right now in my present work. I can also have the chance to travel in different places and meet a lot of interesting people, how cool is that? With all these perks, I think I’m going to give it a try. My first choice is either Australia or New Zealand, where literally the pastures are green.
