People think expats/people with dual nationality find💰& jobs on trees. How it works:
1- 🇨🇦, 🇺🇸 if you don’t have country based experience, everything else is null
2- EU: priority goes to locals, then EU citizens (includes 26 other countries) then foreigners of any nationality
1- 🇨🇦, 🇺🇸 if you don’t have country based experience, everything else is null

3- Next choice would be to get the VISA/go to the country where you have the nationality & look for a job. Job hunting is the same everywhere, it’s hard, requires connections, patience, knowledge of the market & lots of money to sustain yourself during.
4- Managing your expectations/ego: In most countries, as a person who didn’t receive the education in the country/work/build connections, you have to take on internships (sometimes up to 3), & work your way from there. Something a lot of people are not willing to do.
5- Knowing how & where to apply: always apply for international positions, or positions that specifically state that they welcome foreigners. Don’t waste your time applying to local ones, even if you have the qualifications, once they see a non-EU address, your CV is filtered out
I’ve done 2 internships in Intl Org in Europe & altho they wanted to hire me, HR thought the work permit process will fail, as the position is labeled for local staff. Aka, if any local has the same skills as I do, they HAVE to prioritize the candidate who already has a permit.
