Would you like to live and work in a foreign country?

 Would you like to live and work in a foreign country? 

Most of the time, when I saw any cases, news, or friends that successfully work in a foreign country, I really admire them. I really admire people who can go out and work in a foreign country. So, honestly, I do like it. But, true to tell, I am afraid of failure. Without great support, I am not so confident in my ability to work overseas. In addition, working abroad means I will need to get a visa. And learn about local customs. Do research on how workplace practices may differ from what I was used to. There could also be language requirements. Moreover, I will need a place to stay before and during my employment.

However, I think this unit actually teach me something. It helps me with a better procedure for working in a different environment such as what should I do or where should I notice. Also, knowledge of other local customs and ways of doing things, independence in planning your travels, living arrangements, and work habits. In addition, foreign language skills and a broader awareness of the world.

In summary, I think communication skills and courage are the two most common factors people give up the opportunity of working in a foreign even if there is a better career. Communication skills such as the efficiency of a different language or expressing ability are influencing our confidence to work in an unfamiliar country. However, even though your English efficiency is close to a native speaker, you still need some courage to persuade yourself that you can do it. Believe you can do it is far more important than you actually can or cannot. Right now, I think communication skills and courage are both essential strengths I need. In the future, I will keep improving my language efficiency and create my own opportunity to experience and learn from any visits to a foreign country.
