What do Employers Look for in an Expat ?

Hi Sharon

I graduated recently, and I'm working currently. However, I would like to move to another country to improve my living standards. The question is, what type of experience or qualifications would make me different than locals who are like me?

I have a BBA in Finance, and I have 3 years experience as a Financial Analyst before graduation.

Can you give me an advice on what would make an abroad Employer hire me for?

Thanks, Moses

Dear Moses

Thanks for your inquiry.

Relocating overseas requires lots of preparation and can be quite stressful.

Searching for your unique value is only one among many other challenges you will need to address before relocating overseas.

Megan Fitzgerald, an expat career and personal branding coach has written excellent articles for aspiring expats professional - How does Searching for a Job Abroad Differ from one at Home? and tips about Understanding and Communicating your Unique Value.

Both articles are a great read and a good starting point.

Best of Luck
Sharon
