According to statistics, Russians most often go to Germany and Spain, Israel and Italy, the Czech Republic, Greece and the United States in search of work. There are those wishing to work in New Zealand and Australia. Those who come not on a work visa, but “at random”, in Russian, have a difficult time - unskilled labor is not paid that high. But even qualified specialists do not eat honey with spoons - re-certification is required for most professions.

Who can get a job abroad, and what salaries do they lure Russians?

nurses

They remain in high demand in many countries. Among them: Austria and Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Canada, Finland, Hong Kong and Germany, Ireland, India, Hungary, New Zealand and Norway, Slovenia, Singapore and Slovakia.

average salary - 44000-57000 $ / year.

• For example, in Australia, nurses are needed in surgical and psychiatric departments. The higher the knowledge of the language, the richer the experience, the greater the chances of employment.
• Great Britain is no less strongly interested in these workers, in which this specialty is classified as “prestigious” and is very well paid.
• In the US (especially in resort states), nurses are paid about $69,000/year. In Sweden - 600-2000 euros / month (depending on the availability of a certificate).
• In Denmark - from 20,000 crowns (about 200,000 rubles / month).
• Well, in Austria, health workers everywhere are honored and respected. Many people dream of entering the medical faculty there precisely because of the high earnings.

Engineers

These specialists (in different areas) are needed almost all countries of the world .

From all industries most actively recruited in the automotive industry, in the oil and gas industry, in the aerospace industry.

For example, in the Austrian list of vacancies for mechanics, technicians and other engineers, there are 23 specialties, including even specialists in cooling and heating systems. And thanks to the new employment system, the chances of potential foreign workers have increased significantly.

As for salary , its average size is about $43,000/year.

• The salary of an engineer in Germany is about 4,000 euros / month, and after 6-7 years of work - all 5,000-6,000 euros.
• You can also try your luck in the USA, Slovenia, Emirates.

Preference in different countries of the world, of course, is given to people with experience, education, knowledge of modern systems, equipment and PCs, and also subject to fluency in at least English. Knowing the language of the country will be a key advantage.

Invariably, highly specialized specialists with more than 2 years of experience and with a diploma of 2nd higher education are in special demand.

Doctors

In most countries of the world, you will have to confirm your diploma, pass testing and recertification. And in the USA or Canada, you will also have to work in residency for 2-7 years (note - like our residency). But then you can live happily ever after and enjoy your salary.

In the countries described above, it is from 250,000 to 1 million $/year.

In Germany, a doctor can count on $63,000/year, and in New Zealand, anesthesiologists, surgeons, psychologists, and physiotherapists are very welcome, who are paid from $59,000/year. In Finland, dentists and maxillofacial surgeons are required, and in Denmark it is so bad with doctors that they will even help with the legalization of a foreign diploma.

IT sphere and computer technologies

Nowadays, these specialists are required almost everywhere. From system engineers and analysts to database administrators, directly to programmers and website developers.

In principle, these specialists make good money in Russia, but if you want more, then pay attention, for example, to vacancies offered for specialists in computer security. They do earn fantastic salaries (over $100,000/year) and are required in all developed countries.

Don't forget about taxes though. In particular, in the same USA, 40% will be deducted from your salary, and in Europe - about 30% with an income of $ 55,000 / year.

Of course, being just a "cool hacker" is not enough. English should bounce off your teeth. That is, you have to practically think on it.

teachers

Well, of course, there is an eternal shortage of specialists in this area. True, this is due to their career growth, and not to the lack of teachers.

How much pay? In European countries (Germany, England, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands), a teacher's salary is 2500-3500 euros / month, in Luxembourg - more than 5000 euros / month.

Up to 2500 euros per month will be received by a teacher in France, Finland, Italy and Slovenia, Portugal and Norway. And in Estonia, the Czech Republic or Poland, even less - about 750 euros.

To work abroad, you cannot do without an international certificate (note - EFL, TEFL, ESL, TESL and TESOL), with which you can get anywhere.

And don't forget about Asia (Korea, Japan, etc.)! The teachers there are well paid.

Animators

According to this “specialty”, most often foreigners are taken in Turkey and Egypt, in Spain / Italy and in Tunisia.

The work is hard (albeit at a resort), very exhausting, and a bad mood is forbidden and unacceptable.

speak English you owe it perfectly. And if you also know German, French and Italian, then there will be no price for you.

Salary… small. But stable. About 800 euros/month. For an animator with experience - 2200 euros / month.

By the way, Russian animators at the most famous resorts are preferred for their ingenuity, mobility, talent - to ignite the audience and involve them in the game.

Truck drivers

Nothing is impossible for this profession.

Our stern Russian trucker will easily find a job in almost any European country if he has an “E” category license, perfectly “spreads” in spoken English and has completed a 2-month internship.

How much money? The trucker receives 1300-2000 $/month.

Lawyers

One of the most popular and demanded professions in many countries.

In Russia, lawyers are a wagon and a cart, but there is nowhere to work. And in some states, a qualified lawyer - even in the afternoon with fire, as they say ...

For example, in Italy, these are the richest people in the country. Most of all, auto lawyers, notaries (with an income of more than 90,000 euros / year), and divorce specialists are in demand there. So, if you are a lawyer, have studied the language and laws of Italy, and crave the sea and a big salary, it’s time for you to go south.

Builders

Is always popular profession. And everywhere.

In Germany, for example (if you speak German) tilers and installers, masons and interior fitters are needed.

Babysitters

The demand for this profession is also great around the world. And even in Russia. True, we pay much less.

In Ireland, there are few vacancies and many restrictions (note - age 18-36 years old, English / language, etc.), and the salary is about $ 250 / week.

In the USA, a nanny earns about $350/week from the age of 21, and perfect English is not required, because most often our nannies get a job with people from Russia or the former USSR.

In an English-speaking family, you can (with knowledge of the language and the availability of water / rights) earn up to $ 500 / week.

• A nanny's salary in Israel is no more than $170/week.
• In Spain/Italy - about $120 (35-50 years).
• In Cyprus - no more than $ 70 / week.
• In Greece - about $100.
• In Portugal - no more than $ 200 / week, but for two with a husband (they hire married couples).

Economists

As for salary , you will earn an income of 3000 euros / month (on average).

It is better to start conquering the foreign economic Olympus from Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

And in Ireland, you can get a job as an accountant even if you do not own international / accounting standards.

Sailors

To find this vacancy, you do not even need to go to an interview - it will be held by phone.

Another thing is the license. Sometimes, to get it, you have to fly to exams (approx. - in English / language!) To another country.

In the absence of proper experience, crewing companies usually offer solid contracts in terms of time - up to 9-10 months. Moreover, a foreigner does not have to rely on a permanent contract - only a temporary one.

Maximum salary , for example, a senior mechanic - 500 $ / day (with a good combination of circumstances and a long contract), but most often the average earnings of our sailor abroad is about 1600-4000 $ / month, depending on qualifications.

Most often, "our brother" can be found in Norway, where Russian specialists are valued.

On a note: reputable companies do not advertise vacancies on the Internet. Last resort - on personal sites.

Unskilled labor

Farm work.

This "hack" abroad is (not very high, by the way) in demand among our students, who want to see the world and earn money for a new iPhone.

As a rule, in this job you have to pick vegetables, berries or flowers somewhere in Sweden, England, Denmark or Poland for 600-1000 $ / month. True, you will have to work 10-12 hours a day with one day off.

And without knowledge of English, you will not even be hired to dig up potatoes.

And in Denmark, you can get a job as a laborer on a farm for 3,500 euros / month.

home assistant

In other words, a servant.

The easiest way to get a job in this very dusty job is in the USA, England, Germany and Canada. Meals and accommodation are paid, of course, by the employer.

You will be given a day off once a week (and even then not always), and the income depends on many factors (place of stay, knowledge of the language, country, etc.), on average - from 700 to 2500 $ / month.

And most importantly, note:

Whatever the reasons for your going to work abroad, pack your bags only after signing a contract or on a work visa. Private invitations can result in the absence of a salary, and sometimes even more serious consequences.
