2 1 2 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 4 3 4 4 5 6 5 6 4 6 6 6 6 5 6 A very good morning again wherever you are watching us from. watching us from and thank you for joining us again on the LTS Drive Edition. Now this day again I bring to your attention that it really really breaks my heart to hear of stories to hear of experiences by some of the staff of what they go through in the hands of recruitment agencies that try to secure a job for them in overseas countries. Now the most important thing that probably I would like to say is that if you are looking for an opportunity to work abroad from your home country there are three main ways in which you can be able to do it. One, you can be able to log in into the company's recruitment portal or the career portal and apply there and if you are lucky enough then you will be called in for an interview and they are going to see if your profile matches what they are looking for and again if you are very very lucky you can be recruited from your own home country and you would be able to get a job. Now that happens on a rare occasion because of the cost implication that a company has to go through in the event that they will hire a candidate from their own home country. That is one option. Option number two is going through the recruitment agencies. Now here I will lead you through in a word of caution. You need to have performed a very thorough background check on this specific recruitment agency because we have had and we have seen how many colleagues have been duped, have been swindled of their hard and money in order to pay the recruitment agencies so that they can be able to secure them some form of employment in the overseas country. Now much as it may be said that that is an option. We do have sincere and legit and honest recruitment agencies but with the current world that we are going in and hundreds of stories that are shared on the social media platforms and some that we have had really from the horses mouth. There are recruitment agencies that are making a kill. They are making a fortune out of the many and informed job seekers when they are recruiting them. So my recommendation is stay clear of recruitment agencies that have got issues or questions or where complaints have been raised against them in the past. So I think it is very important for you to be very wise in the event that you are to go through the recruitment agencies that will charge you a hefty hefty hefty sum of money to secure you a job in an overseas country. I am the last option which is happening for example here where we are in this lovely beautiful country is some people end up having a visit the place and then they perform or they go through what we call open interviews or they happen to apply for jobs while they are here. And if they are good enough because more often than not you will find them that there would be a preference of hiring candidates locally and thereby they stand a higher chance of probably getting that job. But in the event that you take this option for example to visit the country and probably if you are lucky enough to do some interviews and you are hired it is important to put in your mind that sometimes and more often than not it is not really 100% that you will secure the job that you have a professional inclining to. Sometimes available opportunities are not really really what you are really looking for but they will try and look for the right feet for the right role. And when that say then then if you are probably again lucky enough you will be able to secure yourself an employment opportunity which again it's something that has happened and we have seen many people happen to go through this kind of process and they are lucky enough to secure themselves a job. My wind of question is please please please please it's important I am not saying that recruitment agencies are not the best option however should you opt to use a recruitment agency please make sure that you validate the recruitment agency that you are using and that they are credible and that they don't have any any scandals and they don't have any any issues. Oh there is no complaint that has been raised against this recruitment agencies by previous people who have been hired by them but ultimately at the end of the day opportunities are always there. The most important thing is to accept that if you are given a chance then you will be able to meet the expectation of the company that is recruiting you for that specific job role. So just as a wind and a caution these are the three ways that you can be able for example to get an employment overseas but whichever way you decide to go through make sure you perform what we call a due diligence and a credible security check on the company or the recruitment agency that you are using to secure you an employment but ultimately at the end of the day everybody deserves a chance and when you get that chance make use of it and be wise on how you end up engaging in our foreign country. From our side again on this short brief but an informative LTS edition take care of yourself enjoy your Friday be safe and be kind to all and if you have an opportunity share with those that may be looking for one.
