Work in Russian companies abroad. Work abroad - where Russians work

    Where exactly Russians work abroad depends on the education and skills of the person. What job you agree to, you will work there - in the same way, whom you agree to marry, you will live with. Isn't it simple?

    There is no discrimination based on nationality when applying for a job - the accent is not a problem. (Although, if you really want to, it can be removed with the help of a speech therapist or, in our opinion, a speech therapist.) They look at whether you are able to perform the necessary tasks, general culture, politeness, reliability, and, of course, hard work.

    IN public sector, where the pay is lower than in private, specialists from India, China, Korea, Africa, Asian countries are employed - it is important that a person wants and is ready to work. In the private sector, people choose which doctor to go to - perhaps not everyone wants to go to a Russian specialist.

    But in the public sector with free medical care the doctor is not chosen, so here the crusts determine your position. There are a lot of immigrant doctors in hospitals and hospitals, as well as nurses whose incomes are also high here.

    One of my friends went to nursing school and has the best results in the group, including local female students. However, she still speaks English with errors and a strong accent. This does not prevent her from getting excellent grades. She came to practice at the hospital and was asked to stay there to work, they liked her so much - they didn’t even have to look for a vacancy. She is over 40.

    Nurses in Australia earn 50-100 thousand "green" a year.

    Another friend, who is 38, decided to study to be a midwife, which will take her 2-3 years. After that, she will also receive about 70-120 thousand dollars a year.

    Why is it so easy to go to study for any profession, regardless of age? More on this later.

    The most important thing when looking for a job is knowing the language of the country in which you are going to live. You can learn a profession in demand at any age.

    Advantage of Higher Education

    Any diploma of higher education will help if you are ready to work in government agencies. To get there, you can take free retraining courses offered by the government. Everyone is taken there.

    For having even a Russian (Ukrainian) diploma, you will be given additional points in assessing the qualifications of a civil servant, which will affect the rank that determines the salary level.

    In addition to a medical degree, the best higher education qualifications are engineering. Humanitarian professions are not in such demand, but the presence of crusts will help here too. This shows that you are able to work hard - because without it you will not get a diploma of higher education. It is appreciated here.

    If you can’t find a job because of poor language skills, sign up for English courses. For the wives of citizens, these courses are free. At the same time, you can work in the field of low-skilled labor.

    For example, cleaning (cleaning the premises) or tailoring dresses for individual orders (wedding dresses to order cost crazy money, if you know how to sew, you won’t be lost), babysitting, walking dogs. They take people with poor knowledge of the language and work in restaurants as waiters.

    For example, I usually hire a cleaner for 2-3 hours a week because I don't like to do it myself. Finding a good cleaner is not easy. good workers cherish. Place an ad in the local newspaper (it costs about $20-25) and you will immediately have several clients.

    If you don't have the money to advertise in the newspaper, put flyers offering services in your area in the mailboxes (my daughter found a few dog walking clients this way). If you are a polite and responsible worker, your circle of clients will grow.

    There is also a site airtasker.com, where people search for and offer the services of the most different types- from cleaning and walking dogs to assembling furniture. If you do not sit still, then finding employment and earnings is not difficult.

    Cleaning services are also well paid. If customers are satisfied, you will quickly build up your base and start getting good money.

    Getting an education

    If you are a citizen of the country, the state will give a loan for education and you can get any profession (certified professional courses take 3-4 months) or higher education and a bachelor's degree (2-3 years). To obtain citizenship, you need to live in the country for 5 years.

    The loan is given for studying in any accredited educational institution.

    Student loan payments only start when you earn more than $47,000 a year. If you never start earning that much, then you will not need to pay anything.

    There is also a system of "apprentices" (apprenticeship), where they learn professions for free and receive a small hourly wage (10-11 dollars per hour).

    There is also a system of state vocational education TAFE, where you can learn everything from programming to making hats. Education there is very cheap (1000-1500 dollars a year). Courses from several weeks to 2 years, upon completion a diploma or certificate is given.

    Education can be received at any age - there are no restrictions.

    • The husband of one of my friends graduated from the university as a lawyer in absentia at the age of 46 and is now making excellent money, constantly expanding his clientele.
    • My husband's ex-wife is now studying to be a psychologist. Why not? She is a jeweler by profession, but she is tired of this industry. I decided to master a new specialty and conditions are created for this at any age.
    • One of my friends at one time worked part-time, finding people who wanted to study at a university, but they had no money. Yes, that's right, I found who want to study for free and earn from it! Since the state lends, private educational establishments glad to find students for pre-approved (required in given time) specialist courses. For 1 student, my friend received 2-3 thousand “greens” as soon as he completed the first few weeks of training. She was sitting in shopping malls calling prospective students and handing out flyers. 3-4 people a month and she has the most wonderful income!

    Salary

    The minimum wage for part-time workers is $16 an hour, and for full-time workers $22 an hour. That is, it is simply impossible to pay less than this.

    • Lawyers and attorneys earn $250-$1000 per hour from clients.
    • Doctors charge $80-$350 an hour for a consultation. A 15-minute visit to a GP will cost approximately $30-65. Your free local doctor gets $32 from the state for a 15-minute consultation. There are private general practitioners who charge much more, then you pay the difference.
    • Psychologists: 130-180/hour.
    • Personal trainer: 50-100/hour.
    • Electricians and plumbers: 60-100/hour.
    • The cleaning lady costs me $25 an hour (usually $20-40).
    • The average salary in Australia for those who work in a non-permanent position is 60 thousand dollars a year.
    • For those who have a permanent job - 74 thousand dollars a year.

    My 22-year-old stepdaughter, who works as a fire dispatcher (takes calls about fires), receives 60-65 thousand dollars a year. Her hourly payment increases with seniority, as does everyone who works for the government. Last year she earned 94 thousand, as she volunteered to do overtime work(when someone gets sick), it is paid 3 times higher. (Now she has gone on vacation for a whole year! She will return and be able to work there again.)

    In addition to this, she receives monthly accruals of 9.5% of her salary in her personal Pension Fund. Employees can choose the pension fund themselves. The employer is obliged to transfer money to the fund of your choice. Pension funds are separate from the state.

    My stepdaughter doesn't have higher education, she had just graduated from a 12-week school for firefighters (during which she was paid a scholarship of 2,000 greens a month). Besides, she is not an Australian citizen - my husband is from New Zealand, so she has a New Zealand passport, that is, she is actually a foreigner.

    The minimum wage in Australia is $16 an hour part-time.

    Work for teenagers

    Minors, however, are paid much less. Part-time 14-year-olds make only $10-$11 an hour. They are hired in McDonald's and other cafes as cashiers and kitchens, in clothing stores as sellers.

    The older the teenager, the more he needs to pay. Therefore, it is beneficial for business owners to hire schoolchildren. And schoolchildren are happy to get work experience and money for personal expenses. I have 2 children and my husband has 2 children - all 4 teenagers were already working before graduation.

    My husband has been busy since he was 14 various works. Most rich people here try to send their kids to work as teenagers. This shows the children how difficult it is to live as adults and stimulates them to study well in order to go to university and not work for a few more years.

    If you move abroad with a minor child, it is quite possible that he or she will have an easier time finding a job than you. Children learn the language faster (they communicate at school from morning to evening and it takes them less than six months) and there are more jobs for them.

    School students are allowed to work no more than 20 hours a week. During the holidays, they may be busy longer. Minors, like adults, receive contributions to the pension fund in addition to the basic salary.

    My friends work in different positions.

    • Cook
    • Payroll clerk (government)
    • Tax agent (filling in declarations)
    • Nurse
    • Dentist's assistant
    • Accountant
    • The hairdresser
    • District doctor
    • lottery ticket seller
    • Waiter
    • Real estate agent
    • Boutique Seller
    • Casino Dealer
    • A kindergarten teacher
    • Restaurant manager
    • TV station advertising agent

    Half of my Russian-speaking acquaintances either have their own small business (a small business is one that employs less than 15 people), or women work in the husband's company.

    What companies do they have?

    • Travel agency
    • Beauty saloon
    • Salon
    • Real estate agency
    • Production of cakes and sweets
    • delicatessen shop
    • Restaurant
    • Attractions and amusement parks
    • tour bus
    • Production and installation of fences
    • Sale of used cars
    • Production of plastic products

    In general, there is no limit on where an immigrant can work. If you are able to speak the language of the country and are willing to work, all roads are open.

    The advantages of working abroad are obvious - this is good income, and the opportunity to gain experience, a unique chance to visit new cities and countries. Employment in Europe will help to obtain a residence permit, and in the future, permanent residence and, if desired, citizenship. But is it possible to find a job abroad in 2019 without knowing foreign language Or do you only know the basics?

    The answer is - you can, but it will be unskilled, often temporary work, possibly informal and, accordingly, with low wages. Minimum basics colloquial speech needed anyway. There are special training programs for this.

    Competition for unskilled work in the EU countries is quite high among the Europeans themselves, so it is very difficult for applicants from the CIS countries to get into this market. And many states do not issue work visas to such workers at all. If only seasonal types of work, according to the principle, he came, plowed and be kind back to his homeland. In addition, the employer will always give preference to a European or a citizen of the country in order to avoid problems with the law and the cost of preparing the necessary documentation.

    So, summing up a little, we can highlight the following unpleasant aspects for job seekers in Europe without knowing the language:

    1. High competition with other EU citizens.
    2. Job unskilled, mostly temporary.
    3. Need for minimum speaking skills.
    4. High chance of cheating by the employer.

    The last point needs to be considered in more detail. If you still took a firm decision to work abroad, then the minimum that needs to be done is to protect yourself from all kinds of scammers and troubles. Perhaps, the only way to find a job will be the choice of a special firm or agency that will take over all paperwork and help you settle in a new place. And this is where the greatest danger lies. It is easy to stumble upon charlatans, and as a result, you can be left penniless in a foreign country without relatives and acquaintances, while not knowing the local language.

    The ideal option would be to find an intermediary for the patronage of friends or someone who had experience working with this company. If there are none, then you need to spend quite a long time on the Internet in search of a suitable agency. Pay attention to various details, the quality of the site, the cost of services, the legality of paperwork, the reality of the estimated wages, compare and analyze. Be sure to visit thematic forums and groups in in social networks, communicate with people and draw conclusions.

    All these actions will not give a 100% guarantee, but the risks of being deceived will become much lower.

  • Reviews about work in Poland

    • Lydia: Let me share my experience of working in Poland. It is not suitable for everyone - only for girls and women who can sew on industrial sewing machines. For a long time I wanted to go to work abroad, but two reasons stopped me. The first was the fear of staying in a foreign country without protection, money and a passport. And the second is ignorance of a foreign language. Which of us, fifty years old, studied at least English in full at school and university? Only a few, because then it was not relevant. Therefore, when I saw an ad in the newspaper about hiring women for a garment factory, I called and signed up for a consultation. There were 9 people in our group, and 7 of us signed a contract of employment after consultation. Because we were presented with certificates and the registration number of the agency, we were shown the website and its pages in social networks, photos of the factory and dorm rooms. The contract was signed for 6 months. Everything was organized clearly - transport, accommodation in a hostel, acquaintance with the workplace in the shop. The first month was difficult - strangers, monotonous work on simple sewing operations, the inability to communicate in transport and in the store. But then new words and phrases were learned by heart - life forced them. So finding a job abroad without knowing the language is real. But only through official representatives.
    • Igor: Last year I decided to leave my comfort zone and went abroad to work in Poland. It is very difficult to find a job without knowing the language, it is very difficult to survive alone. My friend who lives in Krakow gave me the address of an office that recruits Russian-speaking workers. They offered a hard job, the kind that guest workers from Central Asia do here in Russia. He worked as a laborer, concrete worker, slinger for about 10 months, but he could no longer. Gradually learned the basics of Polish and got a job at McDonald's. He worked as a waiter, cleaner and loader. It was difficult, but gradually got used to it, began to speak fluent Polish. Now I work as a taxi driver, the earnings are not great, because the car is rented, but there is a prospect of earning decent money here.
    • Olga: I came to Poland on vacation, but the circumstances were such that I had to stay and look for work without knowing the language. I started by translating my resume into Polish and sending it out to job postings - mostly cleaning and washing dishes in restaurants. In one of the restaurants, they entered my position and took me to the washing up. They paid me 8 zlotys an hour (the standard wage for such work at that time) with the provision of a free lunch. There were no other foreigners in the team besides me, so pretty quickly I was able to start speaking Polish and there were new opportunities to find a better paid job.

    Review of work in Israel

    Sergei: I myself live in Smolensk, a welder by profession, here I got a penny, and decided to go to Israel to work as a welder. On the Internet, through recruitment agency, I was selected by a construction company with a team consisting of citizens of the CIS. The owner there is a Jew who left during the Soviet era.
    There were fears that they would be deceived - the Jews, after all, but worried in vain. The salary is excellent, it can’t be compared with ours, I received about 2200 per month, if translated into dollars, about 2200. A standardized day, the salary was given out on time, all safety standards were observed.
    Everyone in Israel speaks Hebrew, and there are also many people who speak English. When you go out into the city, there are no big difficulties in communication. To buy something in a store or in the market - you explain yourself with the help of gestures. There was a funny case when, with a comrade, facial expressions and gestures, they showed the electronics seller that we needed wireless headphones. He tells us so calmly: "Guys, why are you puffing up, say what you need."

    Feedback on work in London

    Alexey: I had experience of working abroad, or rather in London. We were sent to practice from the university. I stayed there exactly one month, made good money, we were paid 30 pounds a day. But the trouble was different, I didn't know well English language but I can read and write, but I can't speak. I got into such a ridiculous situation in the store, they asked me what to serve, and I was confused and did not even know what to answer. Said the first thing that came to mind, took his water and walked out. Learn English! This may be of use to you.

    Feedback on work in Austria

    Anna: Offered a job in Austria trade manager long doubted. The problem was the poor knowledge of the language. Nevertheless, I decided to take a chance, I signed a contract for 3 months, in order to understand mine or not during this time, if I like it, I will renew it. After the first month of work, I understood. that was not wrong. Housing, working conditions, employer relations, everything is excellent!

I think it was because of the experience that they took me, I have been teaching for 15 years.

    Olesya Shaveleva USA Social worker

    I won a green card in 2013 and have been living in the USA in Michigan for two years now. I got my very first job as soon as I arrived - a month later. and cooked breakfasts there, and then cleaned the lobby. The team was pleasant and friendly, so I did not experience any particular problems, but I wanted something more interesting and that the schedule was not from 4 am to 12 noon.

    I got a job as a sales assistant in a youth clothing store, worked there for a year and was promoted to visual merchandiser (). By the way, I am still friends with the girls from the store, although I was the only Russian there. I also left due to schedule. I started studying, and it became difficult to combine work, education and family, besides, I have a small child. Sometimes I think that a Career could turn out there, well, well ...

    A new job in America did not keep me waiting: I got a job in a Russian company that provides services and assistance to the elderly and disabled. It can be said that I got into my specialty - in Russia I graduated from Ulyanovsk State University, faculty of transfer specialties (lawyer/social worker), worked as a lawyer from 2008 until her departure.

    My clients are people 80-98 years old, I have not yet been older. I am responsible, and therefore I am not entrusted with the easiest cases (like cleaning), namely care. For example, I have one granny walking very badly, the second is paralyzed. I work as a nurse for them, help them wash, dress, feed, go for walks and read to them, put them to bed, and so on. As for my studies, I am preparing to receive a master degree (initial academic degree), my two specialist diplomas here were equated to a bachelor (bachelor).

    I live with positivity and enthusiasm. In Russia, there was office and monotonous work, it’s rather hard physically and mentally, but on the other hand - a good salary and moral satisfaction from the fact that you are appreciated!

    The starting salary in America is about $9-10 an hour everywhere, but I started at $7.40 an hour.

    • Do not be afraid of any work, as it is an experience.
    • You can always look for something new and no one will judge you for it. In two years, I changed three jobs, not taking into account part-time jobs: I cleaned the house and sat with other people's children.
    • The most important thing is to look for opportunities to get new profession or upgrading the old one, which I am diligently doing now.

    Irina Gazarkh Israel Accountant

    I came to Israel in 2000 for permanent residence, alone with three children. The son was 9 years old, the twin daughters were six. I was confirmed with a diploma from Russia in the specialty "economist-auditor", but it was a formality. In reality, unfortunately, it is impossible to get a job with him.

    In the first year, immediately after graduating from the Ulpan (Hebrew language course), I went to accounting courses. My friends complained that I was wasting my time and money. But, despite this, I quickly found a job. I did not quit my studies, I finished the courses with a rank higher. to the factory and from that time began to make a career. Changed many jobs, looking for myself. Now I work as a chief accountant in an investment construction company. With experience it is much easier to get hired.

    Salary in our field depends on where you live. In the provinces, the average is $ 1,500, the maximum is up to two thousand. In the center, $2,000 is the average pay. With my experience, you can expect up to $ 4,500. Such salaries are an exception, but you can still find them.

    The main thing for new repatriates is not to listen to anyone and be sure to go learn the language and get a profession. If there is a desire and perseverance, then there will be no barriers to achieving career heights in a new place.

    Ekaterina Smirnova France Biologist

    I came to France as part of the “family reunification” program with my husband (he is also Russian), who had been working there for a long time.

    I work as a biologist (biochemist), this is my specialty in university and Ph.D. I got a job through my husband (we have the same specialty with him). At his institute they were looking for a person who could start working right now and my husband's department head knew I was looking for a job. When the contract with them ended, I was offered a vacancy by another head of the laboratory from the same institute. In general, everything is through friends.

    I have a typical laboratory work: pipettes / test tubes, etc., are very much tied to the speed of delivery of all reagents and materials. In Russia it took months, terrible bureaucracy, in France everything is done faster. Perhaps more money, but now the financing of science has become much worse. There are a lot of shortcomings and problems here, too, of course.

    Our salaries are not mega-high: 1800-2000 euros for postdocs (those who defended their thesis and work as a researcher after graduate school) and up to about 4000 euros for managers.

    • Almost always, so you need to grow acquaintances.
    • I would advise not to go to graduate school, unless the leadership of the laboratory is not your true calling, because after it there is only one road - to the leaders. You become overqualified and many jobs are not available. Overqualified is when you cannot be hired because you are too qualified for it. For example, the requirements indicate that a person with a higher education is needed, this may also mean that a candidate's degree for this particular vacancy will be superfluous. In Europe, it is often formulated in such a way that people without higher education have a chance to find a job.

    Lada Aleksandrova Germany Co-founder of Clutchartproject

    I moved to Germany in 2007 from Cyprus, where I worked for 7 years in a shipping company. That year we had a rotation of employees, and it was possible to change the country. I chose Germany and since then I have never regretted it. After a year in a branch of my Cypriot company, out of curiosity, I sent my resume to a major German company and I was invited for an interview. Since then I have been working there, in the department of certification and audit.

    When I was pregnant with my second child in 2014, an idea was born with my friends - photo artist Lilya Korneli and fashion stylist Olga Shlemer. We are all interested in fashion, art, we wanted to somehow combine it into one whole. This is how the idea of ​​our art clutches was born: a multifunctional leather accessory with Lily's personal print.

    In the beginning, like any start-up company, we devoted a lot of time and effort to market research and promotion. Neither of us had any experience in marketing, so sometimes we had to reinvent the wheel. In addition, our product was originally designed for a very narrow audience, so we did not expect immediate sales and results. Over the past year and a half, a lot has changed: we are developing, print and online publications have become interested in our clutches. Our clients are satisfied and unanimously claim that in real life the clutches are even better than in the photo. This is the best praise you can get!

    My partners and I are very satisfied with the development of our business. Now we are working on a new collection, which will be slightly different from the previous one. Starting this year, we plan to introduce a new direction: the provision of a service that will combine art, communication, photography and getting to know the city. If everything goes as planned, this service will be available from this summer and pre-recording will begin.

    I'm not one of those people who give up the old and only then start a new one. Base own business had to mine. Last year, I made the decision to extend it to 3 years, so despite working on own project I'm still on the staff of the company. It gives me a sense of confidence and allows me to do exactly what I want to do, not what I have to do to pay my bills.

    My business has greatly changed my attitude towards corporations and money in general, I realized that it is more important for me to be independent of corporate norms and rules. I doubt very much that after the end of the decree I will return to my company.

    During this short period of entrepreneurship, I realized what pleasure work can bring. I'm not saying that I didn't like my job in shipping, it's just that they are completely different things. I have been successful in my business and satisfied with my career for 15 years. The experience I have gained during this time is invaluable. I am grateful to fate for the fact that I had the opportunity to be part of an international corporation, travel the world and, for example, break glasses good luck about the board of a new tanker in the shipyard South Korea. Now I have changed, and my business is what I want to do.

    • Before starting a business in Germany, I would advise you to seek advice from professionals. In Hamburg, for example, Handelskammer deals with these issues. It doesn't matter how well you know the laws or what your friends have successfully founded. Perhaps it is in your industry that there will be a small caveat, which can later add a headache. Consultations are free and you have nothing to lose. Of course, by that time you will need to complete all the necessary paperwork confirming your legal status and permission to do business in Germany.
    • As for making money in such a business, everything is different. In our business, we are still at the very beginning of the journey, so the costs still prevail. But it's normal and I was ready for it. Since we do not have a mass-market product that is sold in dozens a day, such a business should not be started without a stock for a rainy day. That is, there are no guarantees that you will immediately earn and be able to live on this amount. You need to be ready for this. But if you devote all your free time to your favorite business, live it, then sooner or later material satisfaction will be added to moral satisfaction. For example, I sincerely believe in the success of our project!
