Finding your place in a new place

I have experience in working in different states of the same country, Malaysia. Nonetheless, I have not work in a different country. However, I have been posted to Santa Clara, California, USA to set up a small project for a small period of time. During the course of a quarter of a century in my company, I have also been posted to Philippines, Thailand, India and Indonesia for a short time in small projects and I find that if you do your speciality field you can coup and like what you are doing. Hence, in you new home you just look for the work that interest you or the job that you like and have been doing in your country of birth. In this way you can adapt to your new environment. Cheers!

Almost everything encountered in a new environment can become a challenge; even if you're prepared of it. However, success in conquering any challenge are dependent on (1) how equipped one is, and (2) how one applies oneself to the situation at hand. Anyway, I hope that eventually, you get a job to your suit, and continue to be accommodative to your new environment. You and your family will be ok, especially over time. Best of luck.

good to see you here doryvien! I'm happy for you & your family after a very long wait you are all together now. I know the feeling I've been through the same twice, and each time I've realized it to be worthwhile. Letting go of your job to be with the whole family is the best thing to do, knowing you I'm pretty sure that you can always land a good job anywhere. Good luck!

doryvien! so you are there already, well, i am sure you can manage, you are well equipped and a smart person. I know how happy you are now, just have feel first of the place and you all being together again. Now you can perform your wifely duties again and enjoy being such first. With your qualities, i am sure work will come soon. Wish you all the best.

I love new places.Sometimes it's hard to part with friends and find new.It is important that the family is with you.Everything else handle.You must believe that everything will be well-ordered.Currently I look for a job in a new location.I hope I will succeed and all will be well.

when moving from one country to another country i have never. but if move from one area to another area i've been there....

It is excellent that you have managed to be brave enough to try for a new start in a new country. There are a lot of people in this world who wish that they could do that, but who are not able to do it because they don't have the courage to be able to do so. You should try and get involved in your community, as this means that you will be able to make the contacts that you need in order to find people who might be willing to give you a job. The more people who you talk to, the more chance that you're going to be able to find the people that you need to succeed.

Hi, I experienced being in a new place... but I usually have something to hold on to that new place before I move. But in your condition, I think it is better for you to reunite with your husband and be as one as a family. As long as you believe in yourself that you can do it, then you can do it.. The challenge that I found was to adapt. But, it is not as big though, cos we are human, and human has great adapt ability.. :D So, good luck in your new place.. :)

I moved many times in my life, I always go if I think I can get it better elsewhere. There were even times I moves each year. I like the challenge of a new start, new opportunities. A job is important but there are so many other (volunteering) things you can do. This way you meet people, are living your life, are gathering life experiences. Why not take the challenge and only get focused on getting a job? the economy is bad everywhere so it's a small chance we all will have or find or keep our jobs. This doesn't mean our life is over. Also if your life is only coutnin or you as a person only have value if you have a job, I pity you. The only thing I found out is that you mostly need 1 year to settle down. Of course you do meet many people but friends/more steady relationships start after that year.
