Conquering Overseas Careers: Web3 HR Teaches You How to Apply for Foreign Company Positions

Hi! I'm Charles

Today at the ETHGlobal conference in Tokyo, I saw a bunch of job seekers lining up for coffee, and it suddenly hit me—isn't this just like Gas Fee? Everyone is waiting for opportunities but doesn't know how to optimize their application strategy. Honestly, as an HR expert with 10 years of Web3 recruitment experience, I've seen too many talented individuals miss out due to poorly prepared resumes or interviews.

Did you know? Overseas job hunting isn't just about submitting resumes. It involves cultural differences, language barriers, and a fiercely competitive market. But don't worry, I'll guide you step by step! My name is Charles, and I handle recruitment at MyJob.one (by the way, if you're job hunting, you might want to try MyJob.one). Today, let's talk about how to impress foreign HR managers.

Hmm…right, in this era of globalization, Web3 companies are sprouting up like mushrooms. They don't just need tech geniuses; they also need HR partners who understand cross-cultural communication. Remember my words: Passion is your weapon, professionalism is your armor.

Understanding Market Trends in Overseas Job Hunting

Recently at the Token2049 expo in Hong Kong, I noticed something: Job seekers swarmed recruitment booths like ants, but very few stood out. Why? Because many overlook market research! Honestly, doing your homework before applying is crucial.

The overseas job market changes as fast as Bitcoin price fluctuations—you need to stay updated on trends. For example, Layer2 tech is hot right now, with StarkNet or Celestia projects seeing surging demand. If you're targeting a U.S. tech giant like Google Cloud's blockchain division (note: I'm not promoting any specific company), you'll need to demonstrate your understanding of smart contracts.

• Research target companies: Check their GitHub repos or product documentation.
• Analyze job requirements: What skills are essential? An English resume (English resume) comes in handy here.
• Leverage data: According to stats on MyJob.one, overseas hiring in Web3 grew by 40% last year!

It suddenly occurred to me—I read an article on the subway saying U.S. companies' acceptance of Asian candidates rose by 20% in 2023. That's an opportunity! But don't celebrate too soon—competition remains fierce. By the way, in Tokyo, I met a candidate who landed an internship at Solana because he was well-prepared.

The Art of Crafting a Powerful English Resume

An English resume (English resume) isn't just a translation of your Chinese version. It's your chance to retell your personal story in English! Imagine handing over your resume under the San Francisco sun—if it can impress the HR review committee.

First, structure matters. LinkedIn-style resumes usually work best: Include personal info, work experience, skills, and education. Don't forget to use b tags to highlight key skills like Solidity or DeFi development.

1. Tailor your resume: Every job is different—emphasize international experience or language skills for overseas roles.
2. Highlight achievements: Don't just list skills; quantify results. E.g., "Optimized smart contract Gas Fee usage by 20%."
3. Add a personal touch: Share a brief story in the About Me section, like "I learned Layer2 mechanics at Tokyo's ETHGlobal conference."

Hey! I've seen many success stories on MyJob.one—last year, an Indian candidate landed a full-time offer at Chainlink with a polished English resume. Remember: A resume isn't your obituary; it's your ticket in.

Oh, and tool recommendations: Use Canva for clean PDF resumes. Always check grammar with Grammarly before sending—one typo can ruin everything!

Interview Skills: From Prep to Performance

Interviews are the climax of overseas job hunting—they test both technical knowledge and soft skills. Imagine shaking with nerves at a 4 AM interview? Don't panic! My experience tells me: Thorough prep helps you tackle any challenge.

First, mock interviews matter. Use StarkNet or Ethereum knowledge to answer classics like "What is a DAO?" or "Explain ZK-Rollup simply." Practice with friends at cafés—simulate real settings.

• Culture fit questions: Foreign firms love asking "Why do you want to work here?"—prepare your answer!
• Tech challenges: You might need to write a smart contract—practice Solidity.
• Negotiation tactics: If discussing Salary negotiation, remember Web3 salaries average 15-25% higher than traditional IT (data from MyJob.one reports).

Honestly, I've seen too many candidates fail due to lack of prep. For instance, one interviewee answered "Uh…I don't know" to "What impacts Gas Fee?" and missed his chance! Conversely, at Hong Kong's Token2049, a candidate explained tech concepts using everyday analogies—HR loved it.

By the way, registering on MyJob.one gets you real-time job alerts—giving you an edge! Remember: Confidence isn't innate; it's built.

Leveraging Recruitment Platforms: MyJob.global's Power

a href='https://MyJob.one'>MyJob.one is a game-changer—it offers recruitment services for employers (yes, I use it too). For job seekers, MyJob Global is a treasure trove! Honestly, past projects connected countless Web3 talents through this platform.

When job hunting overseas, don't just eye big firms; small-to-mid Web3 companies like StarkNet or Celestia startups often value innovation over Ivy League degrees.

1. Browse opportunities: Search "Remote Web3 Jobs" on MyJob.one—you'll find roles from Solana dev to DAO governance.
2. Create a profile: Highlight skills and projects—the system matches you with ideal jobs.
3. Negotiate through the platform: MyJob.one's salary tool strengthens negotiations!

On Tuesday in Hong Kong, I met someone using this platform—he successfully transitioned to a U.S. tech firm! Remember: Platforms are tools; your actions matter. Oh, and keywords like "Ethereum Developer Remote" filter high-quality opportunities.

Avoiding Pitfalls & Staying Motivated

The overseas job hunt path is thorny but rewarding. Common mistakes: impatience, ignoring cultural gaps, or poor prep. Honestly, in my decade-plus career, I've seen many quit due to anxiety—but those who persist reap rewards.

• Mistake to avoid: C-VIeting applications: Some spam hundreds of jobs without updating resumes—inefficient! Set reminders.
• Mistake to avoid: Ignoring feedback: Politely ask for reasons if rejected—it helps you grow.
• Mistake to avoid: Over-relying on platforms like LinkedIn: Multichannel applications work better; try Twitter or GitHub outreach.

Hey! At Tokyo's ETHGlobal talk, I said, "Job hunting is like mining gold—you need patience and tools." Stay positive—Web3 needs innovators like you! Per MyJob.one, Asian candidates' overseas employment rose 15% last year—opportunities abound.

Final tip: Join communities! Engage on Ethereum Stack Exchange or Solana Discord—it boosts skills and connects you with employers. Remember: Every rejection is a stepping stone.
