I’d like to join you guys on your side of the pond, but i need to look for an in. Im willing to figure out the legalities, etc, but first and foremost I’d need a job. Do you guys have any suggestions for job boards to use that focus on EU countries? Specific focus in the technical field is a plus.
According to their own description,
The Hub is a recruitment platform for Nordic startups that offers career opportunities for global talents.
I’ve seen some interesting postings on https://www.welcometothejungle.com/en/jobs
They’re French but have jobs for all of Europe (as well as other locations)
Euraxess or something like that. I think it’s mostly positions at universities or institutes and less companies, but I might be wrong.
Euraxes for positions in academia, EURES for other jobs
Xing is a German owned site, and a Linkedin alternative
I’d recommend picking a country first and checking job boards specifically for that country as each has their own preferred job websites and in my experience many/most companies usually don’t bother posting job ads on international sites.
Have any suggestions for specific countries? If you know any I’m all ears. I think it’s a matter of not knowing/trusting where to start.
Any thoughts on which european language you’d prefer to learn?
If you are in IT or a software developer you can find a job where you only need English, but trust me, if you plan to stay you’ll end up wanting to learn the local language.
Depending on the choice of language we can give some suggestions!
Edit: I know and understand that you’d prefer a single or couple of links, but it’s true that country specific career websites are much better than international ones. I have personally relocated inside EU and the international job post websites were useless.
Estonia, Latvia, Spain or Portugal are ones I’ve been interested in
For Spain there’s https://www.infojobs.net/
Nice choices! I actually have a link saved up from few years ago when I was considering moving to estonia that might have jobs for you:
Sadly I can’t help with the other countries you listed, but hope someone else pitches in!
Side note,
What’s the point of having tens of mediocre job boards per Europe, when one EU-made good one would maximise network effect? Why has EURES not crushed Linkedin? What are they even trying to do?
