n-and-off lockdowns over the last year mean we’re all desperate to travel. They’ve also given us time to reflect on exactly what we want from life - and work. Perhaps a couple of weeks abroad just doesn’t cut it anymore, and you’re keen to explore the possibilities of working on foreign shores. GETTING STARTED Moving to a new country can be daunting but having a job offer can make it much more stable. A good place for job seekers to start looking for opportunities abroad is LinkedIn. It’s a global platform and you’ll often find job postings for companies especially multinational corporations - there. You could also follow companies’ social media for job ads. Healthcare workers are generally welcomed everywhere, as there’s a common shortage. Countries excel in different sectors and there are plenty of full-time roles waiting to be filled. Bear in mind you could need a work permit or work visa, depending on the country. It might even say on the job application. Wondering what could await you in the big wide world of work, or looking to take your next step on foreign shores? We’ve rounded up the top 10 European countries in which to track down your next career move.

That’s not to say that the rest of Italy is neglected: head to Florence for Gucci, and Rome for Fendi. We can’t mention Italy without talking about tourism. Hoteliers, bar staff, and tour guides are all in high demand - especially if you’re multilingual.
