Key Team Messages
Some things to think about if you are considering to work in APAC:
Highlight Language Skills
Knowing more than one language can make you hugely attractive to employers. Although most international business will be conducted in English, company might require some level of the local language as many interactions internally and externally require to use it. If you speak multiple languages, this is a critical skill that many employers look for. When writing your CV, make sure to highlight the languages you speak and the level of fluency you have with each.
Be Aware of Visa Requirements
There is nothing worse than spending days applying for jobs and turning out you are not qualified to acquire a visa sponsorship from employers in the country you are applying to. When applying for jobs abroad, make sure you have checked the work visa requirements though online or your contacts in specific countries - sometimes employers would specify that you must have a prior work visa to be considered in their job listings.
