You did it. You got a job in Greece, Portugal, or Spain. Likewise, you applied and boom! You landed that job. At least in your head ️... We know, it's hard to understand what getting a job abroad implies. Therefore, just doing it might seem like a big risk. You might postpone it a bit more, ask 1,000 others for their experience or advice, and end up... not going. However, you cannot forecast all things that are going to happen when you leave your trusted environment. Besides, you don't have to have everything perfectly organized and settled before you go on your adventure. In fact, if you get a job through us, City Job Offers, you are encouraged to let go off of many things. We believe that your adventure abroad should be a real adventure. Once you've designed and one that will become perfect once you're already abroad. For a kick-start of your journey, we'll hold your hand in the beginning. We can even help with the housing and paperwork. Get a pre-kick-start by reading what it implies to get a job abroad through City Job Offers.
Your adventure starts with you. However, even though there's no us in 'your adventure', we're by your side. See it as a movie. A perfect one, where you're not only the main character, but also the director. Every choice you make, is yours. The job? You choose it. Your day-to-day routine? You choose it. The best part of the production of your movie is that you are not alone in making decisions. City Job Offers and the company you'll work for are your team ♀️. We guide you through your job application and help you with the relocation. You can count on us when it comes to getting a roof above your head and can provide many more services depending on the job offer you sign. Your new job often even includes trainings and more services like private healthcare, meal vouchers, language courses... Again, this depends on the job offer, but your team is there to make your move (well, your movie) a big success.
Maybe your dream life excludes the part where you have to work. However, reality often requires you to use your dreams as inspiration in the meantime, as long as you don't have the resources to genuinely follow all of your dreams. Moreover, stability is nice. And setting a strong foundation elsewhere, will help you reach your short and long term goals. This way you get closer to your dreams, especially now that you live in a new and neutral place. You can mark your territory the way you want to, and follow your own path. Do I really need to move abroad for my dream life to come true? No. But moving away from your previous reality and resetting in a new country is an amazing opportunity to realize your dreams. Old patterns are easier to fade away, since you're not confronted by them. Besides, you consciously made a huge step into choosing you and your future. This turning point is by far the best to get your dream reality started!
It's good to prepare yourself, mostly mentally. Best would be if you could go abroad and be open and positive about all things that are different. But facts remain facts, things will change drastically. Therefore, our first recommendation would be to plan social contact in your new life. Who will I call, text or visit, and when? Will I fly back home in the beginning of my journey every two months? Will I accept as many visits as I can? An idea is to go with the flow. But, a little bit of planning never hurt nobody. Maybe in the beginning it's nice to plan a flight back home for a few days and to accept all visits at any time (although you've got work to do). However, after a while you'll need time for you and your new life. Our second recommendation therefore is to plan your personal and social moments in your day-to-day routine. Add in your new social network, and new favorite habits. Then, when you're either visiting or have visits, your focus in your planning is ideally on you.
Alright, so it still frightens you to leave everything behind. We're humane, we have feelings and it's ok. You may feel stressed about leaving it all behind and starting from scratch. What if, just a random suggestion, you let this stress feed your excitement and adventurous side? What if you just use it as something that motivates you to go for your new life? If, and we doubt it, you notice that all of your nightmares come true, then there's this simple act of just stopping it. First detect and report the error to your brain and others in your social network, reflect on it, and try to be open to other perspectives. You can modify things that are now causing trouble. You're still the director of your movie, remember! Try not to think in black-and-white. There are many more colors, especially when you move to a sunny and welcoming country. However, a very calming thought might be that you know there's always a way back. Your adventure abroad doesn't have to last forever, even if your initial plans tell you otherwise. Listen to your gut, your social network and do what feels right!
