How to find a job in Gibraltar
Getting a job abroad can be difficult if you don’t know how to go about it, the interview process could be different, as well as the way that country advertises its jobs – so how do you do it?
Luckily there is plenty of advice for people who want to find a job in Gibraltar – whether you already live there or whether you’re planning on moving there, with the right knowledge and the right skills for the job, it may not be as difficult as you think.
If you haven’t already relocated to Gibraltar the first thing you’ll need to decide is whether to move there without having a job, or to try and get a job first.
Ideally it would be nice to get a job first, wouldn’t it? But that is only really possible if the country you’re applying for it happy to offer you some form of contract off the back of a phone or Skype interview.
If you’ve already moved to Gibraltar and are now looking for work then you can jump straight into the face to face interview process which is usually preferable for both employers and candidates.
You are likely to discover that recruitment agencies in Gibraltar tend to hear of upcoming vacancies before anyone else – so it is well worth your while registering your interest with an agency before trying to go it alone.
Recruitment agencies can be a really useful resource especially if you need to relocate to Gibraltar as they will have all the local contacts you need, and if relocation costs is included in the salary package they can put you in touch with the hiring manager directly.
Another valuable tip to getting a job in Gibraltar is to think about why you are so valuable – why should a foreign company hire someone who may need to relocate or may not be fluent in the language? If you have the skills they need then make sure you tell them, as it is easier from an employer’s point of view to hire someone local.
And finally, make sure all of your local contacts know you’re searching for work – from your neighbours to the butcher – you never know who they might know in Gibraltar who has a job becoming available.
