Introduction
The mobility of personnel and employees created a new branch in the industry of Human Resources and employment. We are talking about the international jobs, jobs that are more common now than ever. In our times of recession, people are willing to relocate in other countries to find a good job. Moreover, the universities and colleges of some countries like India and from the Eastern European countries are now able to produce good workforce, workforce that is underpaid in those origin countries. This is why major companies from USA and EU prefer to hire those people for smaller salaries. The newspapers are now filled with international jobs of this kind, and being hired on such job is not as hard as it used to be.
History
The internet and the online sites are filled with international jobs. Usually, those jobs are intermediated by agencies that are looking for employees for overseas employers. However, there are also many traps involved in this industry, so you should be careful while applying for the international jobs.
For example, companies that would only try to scam people that are desperate to find a job would organize an “interview” with a potential employer on the phone. If you are contacted about such an interview, check the tariffs. Sometimes, those companies would apply a tax for the respective call, and you realize this is not a short talk. Anyway, as soon as an “agent” arranges an “interview” for you with a potential employer, make sure you will not need to pay too much for the respective phone.
Features
Another method used by the scammers is to request an initial “tax” for the documents needed for the application for the international jobs. People would pay the respective sums, thinking that those sums are needed for the visa and other initial documents. However, a few days after paying the respective sum, the agent of the hiring company will call to announce that your application was rejected, and that they can’t give you the money back.
Tips and comments
However, even if there are some traps hidden in the area of international jobs, there are also good companies of this kind that are actually willing to find you a job. Your friends that already left for a foreign country might be able to recommend you good agents for international jobs, but you can also find those good companies on the specialized blogs and forums. Just remember that those companies would not request any tax from you, and if you need to pay something, we are talking only about some small sums. Moreover, the respective companies intermediating international jobs will not even ask the money for the visa directly from you. They will send you to the embassy of the respective country to obtain the visa by yourself. A good company of this kind would only ask their commission once you are hired on one of the international jobs, and only after you have your visa and every other document needed to leave for the respective country.
