Demonstrate expertise that remains relevant
An older professional’s job search benefits from recent achievements and a clear account of the problems they can solve. Select responsibilities relevant to the target role, refresh necessary tools and languages, and explain the relocation project without making length of service or approaching retirement the sole focus of the application or interview.
Protect the continuity of your career
Moving countries can change contractual arrangements, social protection and the development of future entitlements. Compare the assignment length, return conditions and opportunities to pass on expertise, then obtain an assessment of your personal circumstances before leaving a stable position or committing to a departure date that could affect your wider professional plans.
