LinkedIn and Networking for Job Seekers Abroad
By: The Look Jobs Team
Many hires still happen through referrals. If you're looking for work in another country, building a network matters as much as having a strong resume.
Make your LinkedIn bilingual
LinkedIn lets you create your profile in more than one language. Keep an English (or Spanish) version as polished as your original.
Connect with purpose
- Follow the companies you want to work for.
- Connect with recruiters in your field and professionals in the country you're targeting.
- When you send an invite, add a short note explaining why you'd like to connect.
Get involved
Comment on posts in your field, share what you've learned, join groups and online events. Visibility creates opportunities.
Watch out for scams
Be wary of "recruiters" who ask for money or bank details. Read our article on how to spot fake job offers.
And keep your Look Jobs profile up to date too: sign up for free.
