International Job

Every country requires different documentation for the visa/work permit application. Some items/documents to have on hand include:

☛ A valid passport

☛ 2 or more passport size photos

☛ Documentation from your employer

☛ A statewide criminal history record check

☛ A medical certificate

Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.

This is a straight loyalty and dedication question. Do not worry about the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes.

If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying negative things about the people or organization involved.

The Schengen Visa:

Allows you to move freely within the Schengen Area, comprised of 15 European countries.

European Economic Area:

The EEA agreement includes a provision for the "free movement of persons." This allows nationals to live, work, study, and establish businesses in any other member countries with little to no obstacles.

Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I would like it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel I am doing a good job.

If you are looking to work overseas, the consular should be your new best friend. A consular is by definition an official appointed by a government to reside in a foreign country and represent his or her government's commercial interests and assist its citizens there. More importantly, a consular is your ticket to obtaining all the entry/residency requirements you will need to work in that country. This is where you apply for your visa or permit. Most countries position several consulate offices in each foreign country, so you should not have any trouble finding one.

Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is a distraction.

Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work applied for is a real plus.

Here is some basic, general information on what you will need to work overseas. However, information varies on a case by case, country by country basis. It depends on what country you are coming from, what country you are going to, your job description and your length of stay. Information also changes quite often, especially as security issues are becoming increasingly important. Therefore, it is always best to contact your local consulate or embassy, which you will need to do anyway when applying for your visa.
