Any technical writers abroad hired from India?
I work as a technical writer from the past 6 years in India. I want to move abroad for obvious reasons. More growth. And better culture. Is there a way companies can hire me from here and then help me with relocating? Any Blind’er hired from India as a technical writer? Any pointers? I floated my resume in EU based companies, and almost got selected in Wizeline Vietnam but somehow they put the position on hold. I got rejected from every company I applied. Can someone refer me somewhere? P:s: I am even open to relocating to the moon 🌙 I’m that frustrated and desperate to move out. I love India but I’ll come back later. #technicalwriter #tech
I’m from India and recently I got a Technical Writer position at Bytedance, Singapore. The offer was perfect and they even offered to pay for relocation. Unfortunately, I got this offer during March, 2021 when Covid 2nd wave began in India. And to add fuel to the fire, I myself got covid along with my family. The company waited 6 months for Singapore to ease the restrictions and finally they rescinded my offer. During this time Bytedance rescinded a lot of offers and I was one of them. Also, back in 2020 I interviewed with Wizline, Vietnam. I cleared 1 round and they put me on hold. After few weeks they rejected me without any reason. 2 months back I had a phone interview with a recruiter from Meta, Singapore for the same role. She didn’t even bother to read my portfolio and rejected me without even passing my resume to the hiring manager. In 2020, I interviewed with Google, Poland for a technical writer role. Cleared the test but the recruiter rejected my profile afterwards without any feedback. Got another opportunity from HelloFresh, Germany. Same case as above. So, to answer your question, yes there are a lot of possibility to get a job abroad as a Technical Writer. IT IS POSSIBLE. Look for opportunities in countries where its easy to get visa. Have a strong portfolio. And keep applying via LinkedIn.
