My experience is probably more limited than I knew and the area I live in, while having jobs, isn't huge. That added frustration when the same companies had the same job pop up every 3 months (I applied for the new ones every time and never got a call).

I hope that I can prove to this new place I am worth taking a chance on. Just feels good to not have to worry that I am a failure (at least for now).

I've been working for 8 years in three different companies: I found the first job (out of university) because a friend of mine worked there. The two following jobs were "found" because our manager moved and we (me, my friend and some others) move consequently as a team. I did some interviews during these years, never an offer. I really couldn't say if it was because of my salary (definitively above - italian sh###y - market) or because of me (my skills, my attitude, whatever). Of course Headhunters and HR are so kind not to give you any feedback (sometimes neither a response).

Now our last companies has failed, I'm unemployed and I've decided with my wife to relocate to Luxembourg where she can have a stable job (at least her..).

So here I am, unemployed and looking for a job[1] in another country (with the additional problem of the language: I'm a real novice in French, I don't speak German and my English should be far better..). I think that probably I'll discover which part of me was the problem...

[1] or coming back to university or learning coding (i'm more a sys/net engineer) or studying some online courses or trying to think if some startup ideas I have are feasible

Unless you sweated over a dictionary for an hour to write the above comment, or your speaking is much worse, please make sure to market yourself as fluent in English!

Good luck!

Success will depend on the company, but it can work.
