Why Work Abroad in Administration?
There are so many different avenues to take when searching for admin jobs abroad. Whether you are currently or aspire to be a manager, secretary, receptionist, or PA, there is an office waiting for you to fill someone’s shoes. You can work for a local company overseas, or for an international company on their home turf.
Living abroad requires problem-solving on a whole different level. Being able to show future employers that not only can you do your job, you can do it while learning a new language, navigating a global supercity, and finding an apartment not next to the market selling pig heads, sets you miles apart from those just starting out.
If you are a novice, you may even have better luck finding work abroad. Oftentimes foreign companies will hire international employees for certain skills their own countrymen don’t have— particularly language-related— so you’ll find yourself qualified by default.
Most importantly, you’ll see how companies solve problems through the lens of a different culture… maybe the Japanese have it right when they skirt around saying a direct “no” to avoid confrontation, or the Spanish when they take a midday siesta and come back fully charged. You’ll be able to bring home valuable information to your home country and offer solutions no one else has thought of!
Popular Locations
Administrative jobs abroad can be found in just about any major city on the planet. Because the nature of the work is so similar, the deciding factor is what kind of environment you want to be in during your off-time, and where you want to be close to when you take mini-breaks.
Australia boasts exciting cities like Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Cairns, full of talented people to make your admin jobs abroad all the more exciting. The people are friendly and always up for a new adventure, so your free time will never be dull. Clocking out is just the start of a night or weekend of fine dining, hiking, scuba diving, or zip-lining.
The cities of China are some of the most rapidly-evolving in the world. Shanghai is a growing financial center, and companies place a huge emphasis on acquiring international workers to maintain their global status. There are a ton of great restaurants, museums, and other attractions within the city itself, and yet the countryside is just a short train-ride away. China a great way to experience eastern Asia and get an understanding of a culture that is only becoming more of a presence in the modern world.
If a sun-soaked weekend appeals to you— every weekend— consider administrative jobs in Thailand. There are dozens of businesses in Bangkok hiring foreign workers, and also a lot of hotels and other companies in the tourism sector in Phuket and southern Thailand. Your English will probably be valued when connecting with tourists and creating promotional materials, and on your days off you’ll likely feel like a visitor yourself.
South Africa is an exciting and less-often visited country for work than the typical western destinations, but it is no less progressive and dynamic than its European counterparts! Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Pretoria are all thriving in international business, and have a mind for the future. Not to mention, the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife make for unforgettable vacations while you’re there.
Popular types of administrative jobs abroad
Office jobs are some of the most popular ways to make bank while living abroad. One of the reasons is the diversity of companies that need them! While the work may be similar, you can hone in on the industry that most suits you.
Finance. There are tons of jobs available sorting paperwork and entering data in financial companies. You can also work in the financial sector of a non-finance organization, attending to the basic admin of outgoing payments and incoming invoices.
Marketing and sales. If you have experience in graphic desigin and/or copy writing, a job in marketing and sales could be right for you. Every company needs to promote what they do, and they’ll need innovative new thinkers (read: you!) to attract business.
Customer service. If you can answer the phone with a smile— for the 50th time that day— this job is perfect for you. You’ll be fielding calls, making appointments, and also handling visitor reception to the office.
Knowing the local language is extremely valuable in any job, so being bilingual will be a huge draw for employers hiring for international admin jobs (same goes for back home!). Hours will typically range from 25-40 per week, with national holidays and weekends off. Experience is preferred but not always required, so check requirements carefully and apply for the ones you know you qualify for.
GoAbroad’s Inside Scoop
Working abroad in administration is a great way to feel part of a team, and have the support you need when setting up your life (unless your office has a Dwight, in which case discount everything I just said). Your team can often become quite close-knit, and you’ll always have someone to turn to when a problem arises.
It can be challenging to learn the often nuanced business protocol of your host country, however, and care must be taken. You are not only representing the company you work for, you are also a representative of your home country. You’ll want to show that you can be respectful, responsible, and at least care about trying to make the right impression.
Workin’ 9-5 doesn’t have to be barely gettin’ by, all takin’ and no givin’… it can be the greatest adventure of your life! You can relocate and still not lose valuable years of work experience; office jobs abroad take you out of your routine but keep you on your path. There’s really no way to lose.
