Steps to work at a restaurant abroad
One of the steps to work at a restaurant abroad is to establish connections or have someone vouch for you. This can help with securing a job position and knowing what positions are available. Additionally, committing to an extended period of time, such as six months, can help stand out during the hiring process. Having a living situation already sorted, such as living with a roommate or having resources in the new country, can also provide an advantage in terms of getting settled. If one doesn't have any connections, it is advised to commit to a specific city, focus on getting a job there to sort out logistics like getting a bank account and an apartment. Overqualified positions, like being a barista or prep cook, can be a starting point to get foot in the door and then network and apply for desired positions.
