I am currently looking for a job in Bucharest and was wondering if anyone has any advice on finding one without already being in the country.
Almost all of my work experience was in the U.S. where it was fairly easy to find a job once there but next to impossible to find one from abroad unless it's an intracompany transfer or a senior management position. When I returned to Switzerland after being abroad for over 12 years it was extremely difficult to find employment as well simply based on the fact that I did not have any local work experience so I did have some rather sobering experiences in the past couple of years.
How difficult is it to find employment in Romania given that I'm abroad and don't have any local work experience? What's the best way of finding an opening? I'm looking through postings on eJobs.ro and LinkedIn but obviously few employers specify whether or not they're open to hiring someone from abroad. Is this a feasible approach?
Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
