episode 94. The Hidden Support System: How Governments Help You Land International Jobs cover

94. The Hidden Support System: How Governments Help You Land International Jobs

The Hidden Support System: How Governments Help You Land International Jobs Most international job seekers go it alone. But in many countries, government support for UN, EU, and multilateral careers exists, is free, and often completely unknown. In this episode, we meet with Anita Konijn, Dutch Ambassador and National Coordinator for International Positions at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, about a resource that professionals worldwide consistently overlook: government support for international careers. From comprehensive coaching programs to insider intelligence on upcoming vacancies, many countries offer far more than most applicants realise. Anita explains why governments across the globe invest strategically in placing their nationals at multilateral organisations, what different levels of support can look like, and what you need to bring to the table to make the most of it. Whether you're from the Netherlands or anywhere else in the world, the first step is the same: find out what your government offers. You might be surprised.

episode 91. Why Your Onboarding Experience Matters More Than You Think! cover

91. Why Your Onboarding Experience Matters More Than You Think!

Thinking about a career move? Before you accept that offer, there's one question you should be asking: What does onboarding look like here? In this episode, we meet with Meghan Parinussa, Director Customer Success at Appical about why onboarding isn't just something that happens TO you, it's a critical factor in YOUR success, job satisfaction, and decision to stay or leave. In this podcast you will learn: • Why those two months between accepting an offer and your first day are make-or-break • The "soft things" that create security (or anxiety) on day one, from dress codes to parking to laptop setup • What world-class onboarding actually looks like and what you should reasonably expect • How to evaluate onboarding during your interview process • The role your manager should play in your first 100 days • Why cultural integration matters more than information overload Whether you're actively job hunting or just curious about what separates great employers from mediocre ones, this conversation gives you the checklist to evaluate your next opportunity, and the confidence to expect better. Because when onboarding is done right, it's not just about helping the organization succeed. It's about your own success, your sense of belonging, and actually having fun in your new job.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
