Is moving out really so difficult
Posted by Over_Introduction600@reddit | expats | View on Reddit | 9 comments
Hello guys, I reside in India, and have been trying to find opportunities to move and work overseas, I do have some experience in some hotel stuff but its not very high end, apart from this I also worked in customer service which I was good at , and I am fluent in English, now I have tried calling and reaching out dozens of agents that deal with sending people out to work overseas which is very common in third world countries, most sound scummy and fraud and want advanced payment, nor is my qualifications like next level for me to have a easier pathway, so I am just looking for a big break.
The reason I am making this post is because , I have been trying to move out for years, and never thought it would be so challenging, I am actually not focused on the top countries, like the Us or Uk, I just want to move as a start and figure things from there, like any sort of job in the labor intensive industry or in the hotel Industry, but applications never get reviewed and mostly rejected, from my last working days I saved $2000 usd, and no I do not have ambitions to pursue education currently, as I wanted to previously , but some personal issues came into play.
I would be open to move anywhere from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, any euro country(although they are very challenging to get into, as I have tried), and even Gulf, but I am finding no success, at this point I feel quite sad, can someone rather than a long term advice tell me what fields are there that have a shortages and a easier pathway to move, in general, like I don't want to do it, but I heard if you enroll in the French Military, you get to work in France, and they actively hire immigrants, although you have to go there yourself and crack the interview, although I have heard rumors that people in these units might be treated as cannon fodder, regardless, I want something similar but in the form of a decent job, like in a warehouse, labor, hotel, or any other that would get my foot overseas and let me start my career there, I hope you understand what I mean.
I would really like any advice on this and if you have some info or contacts that might assist me, I would really appreciate it, as I have some personal issues going at home which I cant say, and I have been trying really hard, I don't have a requirement for my job, I just want something gets me out , and I will work there and see from there, I am 22M, if there is anything you can assist with, I would really appreciate as previously when I asked most people were rude in other subreddits, I am also struggling from depression so any help would mean a lot to me, thank you very much.

If you are currently not an expat, and are looking for information about emigrating, you are required to ask specific questions about a specific destination or set of destinations. This means you should have already put some thought and research into where you might want—and be able—to go.
You must provide context for your questions which may be relevant. No one is an expert in your eligibility to emigrate, so it’s expected that you will have already done some research to get an idea of what countries you might be able to get a visa for.

Unless you add lustre to your cv with work experience and at least a degree, you will disappear in a mountain of other hopeless hopefuls just like you, all wanting to migrate to the jobs you mention. It’s a desperate scene. Above all, silence after numerous applications is no reflection on you.
It’s that employers for these jobs rarely need to import workers from afar, so they ignore you. It does not equate to anything you are doing wrong, so put out of your head any self-recriminations that might be rattling around in there.
It'd be a very grim existence should you pull it off anyway, so if you really have no ambition (which is perfectly fine of course) is there another part of India you might consider, perhaps?
The benefits of your home country when you are working at lower economic levels cannot be overstated. A new scene away from wherever you live at the moment might re-energise you, give you a sense of a new beginning even if you aren't earning much. People make lives for themselves at all income levels after all.
Having said all that, maybe others will have much better advice for you here. But keep your chin up; you're stuck in a moment but you get out of it! All the best to you, from Ireland :-)

Is it possible to find desperate employers, if I keep applying that might give me a chance, or is it next to impossible, I have also seen that the job market and corporate and the hiring stuff is very grim and selfish, I mean I understand it has to be, but the energy is just so negative everywhere and after so many rejections, it sucks, My plan was saving $15 k and doing bachelors from Poland, and migrating there, but after working here with here's wages , I was able to save only 2000 usd in 2 years, so saving Upto 15k would take me to my 30s, which I do not want.
Unfortunately, this as this study route is not there for me which was all I had to fall back on, since I was 18 years old , it kind of pains me to see myself aging 4 years, to 22 and seeing no progress and the hopelessness kind of sucks.
I am also desperately looking for any stuff I can find to earn decent from overseas remote work things in customer service to others , but they never reply, even tho I have customer service experience as well, and I am good at communication, which is why I am getting frustrated because I didn't remember the last time I enjoyed something without stressing out about the future, I feel like I lost all my charm.
As for your question about other places in India, the only decent ones here and less crowded ones are far away for metro cities, which means there are no opportunities there even for minimum wage, and the minimum wage also sucks here, especially since I live in Mumbai, I am very hesitant on wasting more of my time here, so I am seeking for any paths to get out as soon as possible, even if I do have to struggle a lot at the beginning, I am used to it, but finding it looks so challenging, because I have been trying for years, and the job market is also full and oversaturated everywhere.
I appreciate you reaching out with your kind words, thank you.

You need more work experience. People can’t just migrate on a whim:

How much do you think is necessary, and does it differ for different professions, I always wanted to save up and go via the study route so I don't have to be in the situation of begging for overseas opportunities, but I can't save $15k which would have sufficed 3 years of bachelors and was only about to save $2000 usd, so I am looking for anything that will get my foot out of the door, since I wont be able to save 15k until i reach 30 if I stay here

I know English is not your native language, but you do know that commas are not the same thing as periods, right?
I keep seeing this with Gen Z a lot more. I don’t think people read anymore. Just whatever is on social media.

I apologize, and yes you are right, it didn't occur to me to add periods, and I have a habit of adding commas to break the statement and forget to notice, if its a period ending
