Applying for a new job in a different country is exhausting.

Anyone who knows me, will say that I am someone who has a desire to make it in a different country. I was born in Copenhagen, 39 years ago, but Denmark has never truly felt like home to me. I don't know why, but something in me tells me to leave and never return. I almost succeeded back in 2014, when I secured a job in Scotland. I spent 2 and a half glorious years in a little town called Greenock, and I loved every single minute of it.

Next year, it'll be ten years since I made that move. Do I want to work abroad again? Absolutely! Where do I want to work? Well, that's a little bit harder to answer.

Of all the places I have been, two places stick out to me: The United Kingdom and the United States of America. I just have a small issue: Both those countries require a work visa if I want to work there. How do I get one? By having a job offer from an employer in one of those countries. How do I get a job offer? By having a work visa.. It's exhausting!

But - that has not deterred me from applying in those countries. As I am typing this, I am applying for warehouse jobs in the USA. I figure my European work ethic will benefit me well there. My work ethic is to work hard, be on time, don't have a sick day and take as little vacation time as possible. I only take the amount of vacation that I need to take.

My work ethic is spotless. I come to work every day, always willing to do overtime and I am pretty much always early. If I am late, I phone up my boss and tell them.

I figure that kind of work ethic is something that will benefit me in the USA.

So now I am in the process of writing up applications to different warehouses! One of them must need me, surely..

What about Canada? If you obtain truck driver’s license they take you right away. Not all provinces but Manitoba and New Brunswick for sure. Doubt you get work visa in States at places you looking...And you not looking in EU countries where you can go without any visas?
