Questions and Answers about Relocate Your Career

Subscribers, it has been a genuine pleasure to get to know the people who read this channel through the materials people submit to our review service. It is especially rewarding to get to talk face to face with individuals who request a virtual meeting. If you are interested in having your cv, cover letter, university application, research proposal, LinkedIn profile, or portfolio reviewed by one of our volunteers, please submit a request here:

Here also are answers to a few questions you might have about the service:

1. How long does it take?
It takes about a week for us to return materials submitted for asynchronous review, sometimes a bit longer or shorter depending on the volume of requests and things that may be happening in our work and lives generally. However, at the moment, appointments for text or video chat can be made within 24 hours most of the time.

2. How good should my English be?
If you are confident enough in your English to apply for jobs internationally, then you should be able to talk with one of our volunteers. We are all used to working with students with less than perfect English. No need to be shy!

3. Do I need to submit my materials ahead of time for a synchronous meeting?
Yes, if you don’t submit any materials with your request, then we will follow up and ask you to do so. This is because 1) it’s part of how we ensure that your request is not spam, and 2) it helps the volunteer prepare for the meeting ahead of time. Please wait until you are ready to show someone your document before you make your request.
