I’m moving abroad soon and have a visa that lets me work in the new country.

Beginning to apply to roles before I make the move and wondering if I should mention I have working rights in said country on my resume. If yes, any tips on how I can phrase it?

My work history is all obviously from my home country and don’t want to be discounted because of that.

I’ll be using this resume to apply to roles on LinkedIn too where sometimes I don’t have the option to write a cover letter.

I would put it right at the top of your resume in bold “I do not now or in the future need sponsorship to work in X Country”

This is great, thank you!

YES. And as mentioned above, remove your current address. Recruiters don’t need this info. No one is sending you anything through the mail and they may disregard your resume if it looks like you’re not local.

Also, get yourself a local phone number and use this on your resume. You can route this number through Google Voice to take interviews through your computer while still in your home country. Once you have someone on the phone, it’s easier to explain the details of your situation.

Good luck!

Yup yup current address doesn’t feature on the resume at all. Thanks for the tip about the local number - great idea!

Yes, or go ahead and say “Madrid, December 2022” if you already have a firm date. Or remove the country or state info that makes it obvious you haven’t been working in your destination country

Ah ok, maybe just the year then, like 2023? If not, then use “open to relocate to xx (city)”. And I don’t think it’s misleading to remove the location, most people can look up an agency or company and find out their HQ pretty quickly. Also since people are a mix of in person to remote, there are people who are likely not even located where HQ is

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺
