6. Play the long game
Finding your dream international job will take time. You are likely to go through a whole series of
different jobs before you land it. Some may seem unrelated to your long-term goal, but they will all
be helping to build your CV and adding to your skills and experience. Also,
there may be times that
you forego opportunities for personal reasons (kids,
partners, caring for aging parents). That’s OK.
Life is about more than your job.
While it can be frustrating and sometimes demoralizing, if you
develop your skill set, persevere,
network, are open to opportunities and
take some risks,
based on my experience, you’ll eventually
find the amazing job you’re looking for.
