What skills do you have that would allow you to do a job that a local employee wouldn't happily do for 1/5 of the money?
How competitive would you be in your home country employment wise?
Do you speak any Asian languages?
Do you have some sort of competitive advantage?
Hey Suits,
I have learned Mandarin for one year at my university before heading to China for an internship.
Moreover i could already gather experience in regard to chinese business culture during my internship and i come well along with chinese people too. I would say i have a really outgoing personality and that's defenitly one of my strenghts.
If i got you right you recommend me to work on my chinese language skills? I could travel abroad and do a language course for a while and meanwhile start networking. Can you recommend me any good cities to do this?
In regard to your question on competition in my own home country i would say that i don't belong to the best but for sure i'm not bad at all too. The point is it's hard to score a job from somewhere abroad when you are not inside the country to present yourself in person.
As you already pointed out they will find someone who is cheaper and he will be available just in the moment they need someone so why wasting time with Skype interviews with a potential canidate who is 8000 miles away and than there comes the whole visa hassle on top of that too,
