    Hey

    So Im looking to find some work overseas at the moment. Looks like NZ is going to be place I will go to but I am also looking into jobs in Europe too - seems a lot of multinationals take on English speakers in the likes of Spain, Holland, switzerland, Scandinavia.

    So I have been searching some job agency websites like jobs.ie, monster.ie which have listings outside Ireland and I am finding it hard to find job titles which are relevant to my work experience. Especially when trying to filter specific roles e.g administration is less qualified, IT is more specific and I dont have a great IT knowledge (programming, SQL etc)

    I have a Commerce Degree and I have worked in an IT multinational for 3 years in a Business Analyst role. This title was very generic and it wasnt a regular IT analyst role - my true title was more of a partner program co-ordinator. I would have lots of experience with excel to monitor revenue, sales, training of partner companies. I also was involved in contracting these companies around EMEA and also processing sales orders. I traveled and presented to partners too.

    So I am just wondering if anyone can suggest other titles apart from 'business analyst' that I could investigate or indeed if anyone has tips on jobs abroad.

    Cheers for any tips...I have been spending 5 hours a day all week at this

    If it's NZ you're going to, then I guess you'll be on a WHV?

    So I'd suggest jobs like "bar-tender" or "labourer". You might get lucky and pick up some administrative work, maybe "project assistant", "administration assistant" or similar. But a temp is not going to get roles with title like "analyst" unless they've got specific experience. And while you're leaning towards financial-analyst, your quals and experience sound very general and light, and I don't expect you'd pick up a sponsored role.


    Europe (where you don't have to worry about visas) may be a whole different story. I have no idea if they have "assistant financial analyst" in European countries, but that's what you sound like to me.
