Applying before moving

Hi all.

I am a computer software professional, 31 years old. I've applied for tons of jobs via LinkedIn, but I have not really received any responses. Compared to an expat-heavy country like Dubai, where I've also searched a bit, I've gotten respones from almost everyone.

Is this because the expat culture is different in Israel? I really want to work there. But do I need to actually move there, and then apply, due to visa restrictions?

Regards

Hi KSPR

Here are a few tips:

1. Make sure your resume is no more than 2 pages.

2. Be sure to address each requirement for the job in a cover letter.

3. Don't give loads of information about your previous employers. Unless internationally renowned, the person reading your resume will most likely not have heard of your previous employer anyway.

4. If the level of English you use in your resume is too high, the person reading your resume will probably overlook it as he/she is most likely not a mother-tongue English speaker.

5. Most companies in Israel will only respond to your resume if you are a suitable candidate.

Hope this helps and good luck!
