Ukrainian spoke about the labor market in the EU and how to earn more
Ukrainian refugees are accepted abroad with maximum support and assistance — finance, housing, medicine, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
However, temporary protection programs are also designed for integration in society and employment. Ukrainian Oleksandra Tomashevskaya gives advice to refugees on how to get a job abroad.
TRAVEL RBC-Ukraine provides six recommendations for refugees on finding a job with a link to the Facebook page a Ukrainian woman who is engaged in consulting.
Alexandra advises to draw up your budget for a month of life.
«If you are already selling your time for money, then calculate the rent, food, clothing, other needs. Make two calculations: the minimum and optimal standard of living», — she prompts.
She recommends focusing on the optimal standard of living, because it will be difficult to limit yourself in many things for a long time. For example, deny yourself paid medical care, gym, alcohol.
The notional amount should be the expected salary. Or this amount may be less, provided that, in addition to the salary, Ukrainians are also provided with accommodation and meals.
present yourself in a resume with a strong side, notes Alexandra.
«Well, who will hire me, I don’t know the language, I don’t have experience here» — it is a restrictive state of mind. You are limiting yourself. You do not know the real state of vacancies or the labor market», — says the expert.
Alexandra explains: in the resume, for starters, you should indicate the highest position. That is, you should focus on experience — for example, in management, accounting, sales, marketing. Even not knowing the local language can be turned into an advantage — knowing English.
Local job center
This establishment is definitely worth a visit. First of all, because there are certain employment assistance programs for Ukrainians. For example, in the service «Barcelona Activia» they help to make a meaningful and competitive resume, which is very important.
In addition, the refugee is registered as unemployed there, and they are allowed to undergo some kind of training for retraining. And it will be high-quality vocational education, at a good level.

Why you shouldn't look for a job «acquaintance» through my own
«I will disappoint you. In my opinion, «their» here they are going to use their own. In general, I do not have very good reviews about such «help», — Oleksandr shares his thoughts.
Jobs offered by Ukrainians are often paid well below market rates. The salary may even be less than the local minimum level.
«People who are looking for work through their own, from such a level of payment are demoralized and agree to anything. Don't forget about point one», — she notes.
«Protect yourself». If there was trouble with work
Ukrainian gives an example that was described in a support group for Ukrainians in Spain. People were brought to a family that provided them with free housing. However, they were forced to work every day in the fields.
«People do not know the language, call the police — don't know how to explain. What I saw here in the region, there really are plantations here. I would first call the embassy or consulate of Ukraine in Spain. Would leave information about where I am», — she prompts the way out.
Secondly, you can write a complaint to the police through an interpreter.
«Thirdly, I found police hotlines for trafficking in persons. Protect yourself, there are no hopeless situations», — notes Alexandra Tomashevskaya.
