5 tips to get a visa sponsor for work trips and your travel adventures
>> Jan 18, 2019
Traveling abroad has many wonderful benefits. When
people travel, they have the opportunity to meet with new people and learn
about the world through the eyes of others. In the process, they'll find it
easier than ever to grow. While travel is a great experience, it can be costly.
Many travelers look for ways to defray their expenses. One of the best ways to
fund any travel plans is to combine work and traveling at the same time. It is
possible to work when traveling.
At
the same time, many countries require workers to officially ask permission to
work in that country. Official permission means that they can apply for a job
that lets them earn real money. Those who are looking for a a job typically
need to get what is known as a visa sponsor. The sponsor is a company or organization
that agrees to hire them and can provide evidence why they are necessary to
fill that job rather than having it go to a local resident. If you are looking
for a visa sponsor so you can begin your travel adventures, there are some easy
tips you can take that will pay off.
Look for Unusual Jobs
Keep
in mind that many popular jobs fill up fast. Employers may have their pick of
hundreds of applicants for a single position. Many companies get a lot of
applicants from abroad for a single advertisement and even more if they choose
to spread to multiple venues. Even if you get an interview, it can be hard to
land the job. Thinking out of the box is a great way to approach the market and
find not only a good job but a job that offers even more.
Lots
of nonstandard jobs are out there posted by employers. Think about your hobbies
and what you like to do best. Then go looking for positions related to that
area. Out of the ordinary jobs are also jobs that tend to have fewer
applicants. This further narrows down your chances of getting a visa sponsor in
your chosen destination.
Highlight Your Special Skills
Everyone
has special skills. Take a self inventory and discover yours. You'll often find
that you have an interest that can translate to a job. For example, if you're
really good at drawing, you might consider working for a company via the AIA. You might be an expert an obscure language. Now is the time to look for
employers who need that kind of language to communicate with others. Places
that are in need of experts linguists include colleges, universities and
companies that do language market research.
Ask
others to help you determine what makes you stand out in a crowd. Your best
friend may notice that you're really good at working with animals or your have
a rapport with small children. They can and will help you notice what might
give you a lead for your visa and the country you want to visit most.
Be Very Flexible
One
way to increase your odds of getting that visa sponsor is to be as flexible as
possible with the employer. Widen your search to varied locations. Maybe it's
hard to find a job in a large city like London, Paris or New York. You can have
just as much fun even if you're living in another part of the country. You can
also spend your weekends traveling to the big city and seeing it in person.
Many local communities make just as worthy a trip as the larger places. This is
an excellent way to get to know a region very well and become part of the
regional community.
It's
good to be flexible with your work time as well. For example, you can make it
known you are open to working early morning or late evening shifts. A nurse who
is willing to fill otherwise hard to hire shifts can find a visa more easily
than a nurse who wants to keep standard hours. Employers are looking for people
who are open to many varied kinds of shifts.
Ask for an Interview
A
company may not be thinking about hiring right now. Do research in your
specific industry or area of interest and locate companies that appeal to you.
See if you know someone who works there or know someone who does. Use your
social networks to your advantage and really see connections between people and
the places they work. Contact companies that interest you directly via your
personal contacts. Let them know about your skills. Indicate to them how you
can contribute to their bottom line and mission.
Many
companies have offices in many parts of the world. Find out if the company that
has an office near your current location and ask for an in-person interview.
You can also see if they'll do an initial Skype interview to get a feel for
your style and see if you fit in.
Have all Documents in Hand
Before
you do anything else, make sure you have all documents you need on hand as soon
as possible. If you don't have a passport, you'll need to get one right now. If
you have a passport, make sure it's current. The same is true of your
educational credentials and work history. If you're currently doing an academic
program, now is the time to make sure they can send anyone an up to date
transcript. If you've completed a degree, now is the time to check that you can
have any transcripts sent and how to get such copies to foreign countries.
The
same is true of your resume and work history. If you have been out of the
workforce for a while, consider how to demonstrate what you've been doing
instead. Volunteer work counts. You'll also want to line up any references in
advance and make sure they are an accurate summary of your work.
