Advice for working abroad in the future.

[Griffyndor]

Hello and good day to anyone who reads this,

 

I am currently working for a tree firm in Manchester, UK and I currently hold my chainsaw maintenance, cross cutting and felling of 380mm trees tickets.

 

I am 27 and planning to do the tickets required that will allow me to do aerial rescues and use a saw in the tree in the coming months (waiting for the weather to improve a bit).

 

Ultimately my goal is to get a job as a climber working abroad, preferably in America or New Zealand.

 

This leads to my question to the forum: What is the best route to take for this plan? Also, am I too old already? I have had a poke around on the site and so far it seems to me that companies prefer people with 2 years experience as a minimum.

 

Could anyone advise what else would be a good thing to have on the old C.V. that would make me attractive to foreign employers?

 

Thanks in advance everyone.

Working abroad can be testing .. Be it much bigger trees , language barrier , relationships etc you need to be more positive in outlook imo ..
