hey guys it's me again Jen and yes I know what you're thinking I've been away for quite a while
now and I'm thrilled to be back it's just that a lot of things have happened and are still
happening in the past few months and that's why I'm MIA for a little while but look it's
also great news because I have a lot of new and exciting and fun and useful content that I just
can't wait to share with you guys but I just want to hold off on that and for today I just
want to make a quick video about this topic that I feel is pressing because in the past few weeks
I've been receiving a lot of messages about it and it involves money and I suppose the reason
for this as well is that now that the lockdown is over and everyone feels that the world is back to
being their oyster everyone is thinking what is the next big step and it makes sense because one
of the most exciting things that you can actually do is move abroad right so the question is should
you be paying for the processing of your working Visa and the answer is a resounding no but hold
on a second don't close this video yet because I got five things that you need to know and always
remember at the end of this video there's a golden nugget that you would definitely want to know
first one of the main requirements of processing your working Visa is a signed contract by you
and your employer and I've actually talked about this in one of my q a videos I'm going to put the
link up there which you can also check after this video because I've answered a lot more questions
in there about moving here to Ireland so if you haven't signed any job contract or job offer then
there is no way at all that an agency will be able to process your working Visa so if they claim that
they are processing a working Visa for you then that's definitely a red flag and they're selling
a false hope so number two some companies are using recruitment agencies or Headhunters to fill
specific job roles there could be a lot of reasons why they would be doing that like for example they
probably don't have a streamlined hiring process yet or the company is mass hiring or that the
company has no experience yet in hiring foreign Nationals but you need to remember that the main
role of these agencies and Headhunters would be gathering the CVS and reviewing them and picking
out the most suitable candidates for that specific role if the recruitment is successful the company
will actually pay the agencies a specific amount could be like a percentage of the gross salary
that actually means that the services of these agencies or Headhunters are completely free
for the job Seekers and keep in mind that giving them your CV would actually open up more doors or
Windows for you because they might actually find a job for you that they probably didn't know of and
also FYI here in Ireland these agencies cannot charge candidates for them to get a license to
operate number three regardless of the job or the profession it is the company that should cover all
the expenses related to your working Visa or your working permit either the company will undergo the
whole process if they have the experience to do it or they could also contract an immigration agency
to do the work nothing should be coming out of your pocket and remember that your abilities and
your skills will get you the job number four you can apply directly to the company without any help
of the agency or the Headhunter and that's exactly what I did back in 2018 if you want to know more
about it I'm going to link my first ever video where I talked about how I did it and last but
not the least and I know you've been waiting for this I heard from my friend back in Dublin that a
lot of the big four auditing firms are recruiting Auditors at the moment in fact after the lockdown
has been lifted there are more than 200 or 300 Filipino Auditors that were recruited from the
Philippines and nurses are also being actively recruited so if you want to go on a new adventure
then Ireland is the place to be so that's it guys I try to keep it really really short and I
hope that I answered your questions please don't forget to subscribe to my channel hit that like
