Answering this statement, or question, is something that, as migrants, we must ask ourselves long before leaving. Drawing a line in time to mark the goals to be achieved is part of the mission that we must all have to complete a process, in several stages.

To begin with, we must answer certain questions very well:

  • Why and why do we want to emigrate?
  • Are we professionally fit to compete in the local market?
  • Do we master the language?
  • Does our legal status allow us to qualify for any type of employment?
  • Do we have the capacity to invest and sustain a break-even point?
  • Do we have a Plan B, do we even have a Plan C?

We have to start cultivating the art of asking good questions, because we usually answer very well to very badly asked questions and we usually answer ourselves:

  • There is no problem being there I see how I find a job.
  • I have money and I buy any business for sale.
  • I will avoid the advice of intermediaries because that way I save commissions.
  • There I learn the language while I am employed.
  • While there, I get my employer to get me a work permit and my Legal Immigrant Status.
  • I am better off there than in my country anyway.
  • Emigrating is my only way out and only possibility.

Finding a job is different from looking for a job

Usually, any competitive professional already has international friction that qualifies him to be an employee required by any other company.

It is normal for a professional to be receiving local and foreign job offers.

Many professionals, through an employer and immigration lawyers, have the expeditious possibility of reaching in the short and medium term the possibility of a Status that allows them to work legally and emigrate, alone or with their family.

We recognize that this is the case for many, but not all. In real percentages, competitive professionals, suitable and required by local employers, who can meet a number of demands and required experience are few in relation to the number of people seeking to emigrate without having the required conditions. Friction, fogueo and international talent are part of the qualities of this type of employees. Although, we can not fail to mention the number of professions that for their extraordinary talent that are required with great demand: as they are, for example, system developers.

How to find or be found for a good job

Internet is the means par excellence to expose our professional profile, LinkedIn is a powerful network that will allow you to be found and exposed to opportunities. A good professional profile in English is vital, knowing how to tell very well what we are, we do, and our skills is fundamental. It’s something you need to start right away. For this, too, I highly recommend the help of a Coach or professional advisor in Personal Branding.

Be your own boss in Miami

It is a clear and perfect option for those people who have the ability to invest in a business that allows them to self-employ. And here is a very important point to highlight, self-employment in the United States is a clear and simple term to understand, when anyone has the ability to bet on a Small Business, small business. This is thanks to your savings, bank loan or partnership with a third party. The franchise system is huge and you have many options. Being your own boss, depending on your financial capabilities and experience, will allow you, in the first instance, or at least, to “buy a job” which in the end is the best way to define or explain the term self-employment.

You have to be very careful when investing in any type of franchise, the first thing is to know your city or locality very well, know how the movement is, study the market.

Asking franchisees directly is an option. The Americans do it, they go and ask the owners how they are doing. Buying from a franchisee or franchisor has its differences, in price and success. Many franchisees do not know about business, sales or customer service and do not achieve success. And they end up closing or selling their businesses at chicken prices. On the other hand, not all franchises work or will be successful in the locality where they are installed.

There are professional services franchises that do not necessarily involve high investments in premises or equipment, but in other skills and certifications. There are countless alternatives and possibilities that with time and study can avoid countless headaches.

For all this, as always, we advise you to let yourself be carried away by the hand of a Business Broker. Well, there are all kinds of opportunities for those who prefer to be their own boss. Don’t make mistakes, get advice from the experts, more information on info@pfsrealty.kinsta.cloud
