Hi,
I am a Belgian native who has been living in 5 countries so far. One of my big dreams is to relocate to Israel and live and work there for 1 or 2 years. I have been trying to get a job in Israel for over a year now, but lot of attempts did not work out yet.
My problem: I am not of jewish origin. I cannot make aliyah and for jobs not aimed at university graduates, most companies will wait for a Jewish applicant because then they don't need to request a working permit. I have no university degree or special skills, except for the fact that I speak 4 languages (Dutch, English, French, German) but I doubt that this is considered a special skill.
I have been contacting many employers and often had the reply that I'd have gotten the job if only I were jewish.
Well, I am not jewish but I still feel extremely attracted to Israel because of its diversity, cultural diversity and natural beauty. I really would like to emigrate to Israel, and I am continueing to look for an employer that wants to sponsor a working permit. Does anyone know such a company that needs multilinguals and is known to not mind requesting working permits?
Also, a hotel may be the option because they get easier working permits, also for non-jews. Problem is that most hotels won't hire someone from a distance, and moving to Israel first and only jobhunt then is just too risky financially.
So basically: does anyone know a company that is known for wanting to request working permits? Or does anyone know a hotel that needs multilingual people and wouldn't mind interviewing me from a distance (which can work given the right connections within the hotel) ??
My CV can be checked on www.gerritsite.com
Thanks for any help.
