Applying to 100 jobs in Europe for Americans on LinkedIn and getting zero responses isn't a you problem. It's a strategy problem. You're applying to jobs that legally can't hire you without jumping through months of bureaucratic hoops to prove no EU citizen wanted the role. Most companies won't bother. Even if you're qualified. Even if they like you. Because the paperwork and cost aren't worth it unless they're desperate. Desperate = shortage occupations. Roles their country can't fill locally. That's where European governments WANT to hire Americans. That's where visa sponsorship is fast-tracked. That's where companies are actually looking for non-EU workers. Every European country publishes their shortage list. Some even have dedicated job boards for those roles. THAT'S where jobs in Europe for Americans actually exist. Not the general job boards you've been wasting time on. Link in bio when you're ready to stop applying blindly and start targeting roles that are actually available to you. ๐๐บ๐ธ #CreatorSearchInsights #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive

If you're an American looking for a job in Europe, you're probably looking in the wrong places. I'm Veronica, and I help Americans move abroad. What you typically do, as you search for jobs, is look on places like LinkedIn or Indeed, or you might google job boards in Austria, job boards in France, and think that that's the right route to take to look for jobs in Europe. But the thing is, each European country has to follow strict regulations about who they hire for a position. The first thing that they have to do is post that job publicly, which is the job board that you're seeing, but that is going to be only really open to people within that country, because they have to hire within the country first if they're able to. Then they're allowed to open it up to the greater EU area. So within the EU, if somebody can fill that position, they have to take someone that already has a passport to another European Union country. And only then, if they couldn't find someone, are they allowed to hire an American for that position? A shortcut to find the kinds of jobs that would hire an American, because they couldn't find enough people in the country or in the EU, is that each country maintains something called a shortage list. A shortage list is the list of job titles that they literally are short on. They do not have enough employees to fulfill the demand for that position. Some countries even go as so far as to have their own job board database within the shortage list, so that you know exactly which employers are hiring for those positions, and those visas will be fast tracked, because they're already on the government shortage list. This is the only practical way for Americans to get hired at a job in Europe, is by targeting the jobs specifically on these shortage lists. Otherwise, you're just throwing applications into the wind and hoping for the best, and those jobs you will never hear anything back from.

If picking a new country was as easy as comparing crime statistics and educational outcomes, than obviously that country would be overrun with expats. The best countries to move to are not one size fits all. Before you get your hopes up about any particular country, I suggest you take a step back. Determine your visa eligibility first. Some countries are trying to attract retirees. Other countries are welcoming digital nomads. And there are countries only looking for wealthy expats. Your income type and amount will determine what countries will take you. Schedule your exit plan call if youโre ready to stop daydreaming and start packing. #creatorsearchinsights

There are a lot of people who love the idea of moving abroad. There are fewer people who are actually ready to make it happen. If you have been stuck researching how to move abroad from the US, how to leave America, where to live overseas, or how to move abroad with kids, but you still do not have a plan, this page is for you. A lot of smart people get trapped in analysis paralysis. They keep consuming more content because it feels productive. But more information does not always create movement. Sometimes it just creates more confusion.

I help Americans who are tired of researching moving abroad and ready to start taking action. Follow if you want practical guidance, realistic next steps, and a clear path toward living abroad. ๐๐บ๐ธ

The life you've built in America isn't the life you wanted. It's the life you could scrape together under constraints of: wages that don't cover basics, healthcare tied to employment, housing costs consuming half your income, constant financial stress, survival mode as default state. You didn't choose misery. You chose best option available within impossible constraints. But those constraints are geographic. Change geography, change constraints, change what's possible. The apartment you can barely afford in America becomes the nice place with breathing room abroad. The paycheck that barely covers survival in America becomes the income that allows saving abroad. The constant stress about one emergency destroying you financially becomes manageable situation where emergencies are expensive but not catastrophic. Same income. Same skills. Same person. Different location. Completely different life. You're not stuck because you lack resources. You're stuck because resources you have don't work in location you're in. Move those resources to location where they work better, and you're not stuck anymore. But moving requires: tolerating uncertainty about how things will work out, being uncomfortable while figuring out new systems, releasing familiar patterns even when familiar is miserable, trusting you can build better life from scratch. Most people choose familiar misery over unfamiliar uncertainty. Devil you know feels safer than devil you don't, even when devil you know is grinding you down. This is why people stay in: jobs they hate, relationships that don't work, locations that don't serve them, lives that feel like slow suffocation. Because at least they know how to survive current misery. Unknown is terrifying even when unknown might be better. But what if you're not choosing between misery and uncertainty? What if you're choosing between: familiar misery that will continue indefinitely, or temporary uncertainty that leads to actually building life you want? When you're in survival mode, you're making choices based on: what's cheapest, what's fastest, what gets you through next month, what keeps crisis at bay. Not what you actually want. What you can manage given constraints. Those choices compound into life that doesn't reflect your preferences. Reflects what you could piece together while drowning. But when you move somewhere your income works better, you're not in survival mode anymore. You have breathing room to choose based on: what you actually want, what serves your family, what creates life you're proud of. That's not small difference. That's the difference between life you're enduring and life you're choosing. Living in America isn't default you're stuck with. It's choice you're making every day by not choosing differently. And choosing differently is available to you. Link in bio for people ready to choose. What would you choose if survival wasn't consuming all your energy? ๐๐บ๐ธ
