APPLYING FOR THE JOB
To get anywhere in life it is sometimes necessary to put yourself forward - and if you're looking for work overseas you're going to have to put yourself forward to be noticed in the form of an online application or CV/resume and covering letter.
Because your CV will be your initial contact with any recruiter it has to represent you in the best possible light possible.
This means that your resume and covering letter have to be well written; if you're applying in a language other than your mother tongue you should consider paying for a professional translation to be done because recruiters hate receiving poorly put together job applications. In their view someone who cannot be bothered to make the maximum effort with their personal CV probably cannot be bothered to do a good job full stop and are therefore hardly worth considering for employment. Therefore it is up to you to put together the most well written, compelling and interesting application for employment possible.
Don't fill out your CV or covering letter with lots of flowery embellishment, be succinct and to the point. You should illustrate why you think should be considered for employment with examples of relevant experience you have and you should ensure you supply details of qualifications you have, referees who can supply personal and employment references and you should include all your personal contact information.
