Where international jobs are actually posted

Most international openings are posted on the same boards as local ones, just with different filters. JobcoBuddy aggregates listings from global feeds and partner APIs so you can search by country and city in one place.

Company career sites are still the most reliable source for roles that explicitly sponsor visas. Filter your search by recent funding news; well-funded companies are the ones writing the relocation cheques.

How to apply across borders

Use a clean PDF resume with no graphics. Add a short note at the top stating your visa status: open to relocation, eligible for EU work, or holds Canadian PR. This single line saves recruiters a back-and-forth and gets you to first round faster.

Tailor your cover letter to mention one specific reason you want to live and work in that country. Recruiters skim for relocation seriousness.

Interviewing across time zones

Schedule interviews early or late in your day to match the company's working hours. Be on time, on a stable connection, and in a quiet room. These basics matter more across distance.

Mention timezone overlap proactively: I can comfortably take meetings between 14:00 and 22:00 CET.
