Last reviewed 2026-10-04

Tailor to the destination

Conventions for resumes differ between countries - for example in length, layout and what personal details are included. Check examples from the destination and adapt.

Show evidence, not only titles

Describe what you did, at what scale and with what result. Concrete outcomes make your experience easier to understand for someone unfamiliar with your employers.

Be ready to explain your work context

Employers abroad may not know the companies or institutions you worked for. A short line of context helps.

Understand work-rights requirements early

Many employers abroad need to know that you can legally work in their country. What is required depends on the country and your situation, and is set by the government - check the official source, and expect timelines to be longer than a typical domestic job search.

Plan a realistic timeline

Searching, interviewing and any approvals take time and cannot be guaranteed. Start early and keep options open.
