Getting a Job

Finding the right job can be a real challenge, especially if you are in another country and need it for your program or to pay the bills. For this reason here are some important things you must know before you start searching.

Have a great resume in your hands

A resume is a really important tool to be hired. Make sure your resume is organized and contains all the important information about your academic education, your work experiences, and the soft and hard skills improved during each one of those periods.

How do you find a job opportunity?

There are many ways to get find a job, we recommend you to start looking for opportunities with your school, some places have contact with certain companies and they will help you to get a job, or you can even work for your own school.

We also suggest you go look in person, there are a lot of places in the city needing help, some of them have signs outside but you can just walk in and ask.

Another place to search is online, platforms like LinkedIn or Google Careers might be very useful. Here is a list of platforms that you might like.

Be aware

Your first job probably won't be the job of your dreams. We all would like a job that fits our schedule, close to home, and comes with a nice salary and benefits, however, hardly you will find an opportunity like that. Just decide what is your priority and try to make your decision around it.

Don't be a fool. Even in safe platforms, there are some scams online, take a look with patience and discuss all topics you might like. And remember, don't do something that you do not feel comfortable it.
