Once upon a... testimonial time. Mathias' expat life in Lisbon
#Cityjobbers are adventurous and ready for a complete change of life. They might step out of their comfort zone, they might leave everything behind. Why do they do it? Why would you want to do it? For us, it's obvious. There are so many amazing opportunities out there that everyone deserves. Also you deserve to boost your career, your self-esteem and fill your luggage with beautiful cultural experiences. As these words might be motivating, maybe slightly convincing, we thought real experiences with real pictures, speak louder than words. We present to you: a real life experience of working abroad. Meet Mathias: a man who decided to turn his Danish life upside down, and move to the sunny Lisbon.
You had me at... a stable adventure
Now, City Job Offers had Mathias at ''a stable adventure''. Mathias was ready for another adventure, but wanted stability as well. A worry free adventure sounded like a plan. As it is! As Mathias mentioned:
It can be hard to have the best of two worlds, and I refuse to believe that anyone wants to sit when they are older without a career and stable earnings. For that reason, I decided to look for job opportunities abroad because a job fills your pockets, and adventures fill your soul. Why not combine the two?
From the moment he got in touch with City Job Offers, he felt like this could be the one. He appreciated the honesty and engagement throughout the procedures of landing his job in Lisbon. Mathias about City Job Offers recruiter Karolina:
I experienced a person who first of all gave me the knowledge to provide a good impression in the job interview, while making the company aware of my strengths.
From having it all to... having it all
As Mathias is a real adventure seeker, he has a long list of places he visited. He even had previous experiences of working abroad. No doubt his working experience at Disney in Orlando was magical enough to convince him to keep exploring other countries. Although for a bit, he went back to Danish grounds, he decided to take the leap and go live in Portugal. This time, no guaranteed magic. This time, City Job Offers just offered him a job in the sun. However, the benefits attached to this job offer, are also worth making a list of. Imagine having the time of your life, exploring a new place, a new life. Deciding to break your routines and start new ones, just the way you want them to be. Mathias started living in Lisbon. He now genuinely has it all.
