SEARCHING FOR A JOB IN HUNGARY

Image
  Hungary is a European country that hired me. The selection process is usually fast, of approximately two weeks. I advise to check the website of the company with which you are interviewing, a YouTube presentation, the job description and to prepare a list of 5-8 questions, to show your interest in the company and the role. You can check the LinkedIn profiles of the interviewers, to have an idea on their expertise. An important step for your preparation is checking salary reports, available online for free. You can download them on your computer and read them. You need to check the industry for which you are applying and the number of years of experience.

2023 IN REVIEW

Image
2023 has been by far the strangest and the most difficult. I travelled to The Netherlands, Belgium, Bulgaria, Sweden, Slovakia and Romania in a quest to create content to share with you and find a job. It was fun trying new dishes and seeing amazing places. The company which I was working, Movate, got bankrupt in spring and I spent the rest of the year doing tests and interviewing. No company wanted to hire me in the long run, so I find myself at the end of 2024 jobless although I sent more than 5000 applications. Consequently, I decided to spend maximum 3 months interviewing for all job markets next year as I prefer to help people with my blog posts. If I am not hired within 3 months in a country, I will cease making effort in the respective there and switch to a new country.

Besides applying for jobs, I spent my time learning new social...
