Iceland – a new opportunity to give your career a flight By Rudraksh Group

Iceland is the new place to be. As more and more foreign nationals are moving to Atlantic haven of Iceland, the place has become rich with exuberant career options. Rudraksh Group Mohali believes that Iceland is becoming an increasingly popular destination for corporates across the world, especially UK nationals.

It has been estimated that around 15000 immigrants are currently working in Iceland, which makes it one in every ten employees. This is because Iceland's job market is currently stronger than the UK's. Unemployment was at 4.4% in December 2013 and graduate unemployment at just 2.93%.

Many industries are thriving in the land of ‘fire and ice’. Fishing industry accounts for 40% of all export earnings and over 12% of the country's gross domestic product. Rudraksh Group listed the major industries that include aluminum smelting, biotechnology, finance, geothermal power, hydro-electric power production, software production and tourism.

Iceland is offering many job offerings which can be found and applied for through multiple portals. Some of them are Eures Iceland, Eurojobs.com – Iceland, GoAbroad.com – Iceland, Job.is, etc. and also through various employment services. Besides jobs, students can also apply for internships and work experience. These really enhance a students’ scope of career options. One can also volunteer for work as this enhances employability and improves language skills.

Rudraksh Group believes that though Icelanders have a strong grasp of English, knowing Icelandic (even basic) would be a real help. This is particularly helpful in hospitality industry. As more and more people are considering Iceland as a prospective career option, Icelandic language courses are easily available. Rudraksh Group Overseas Solutions Mohali and Rudraksh immigration services can help you locate these and enroll yourselves.

 Though Iceland is not currently a part of the European Union, EU citizens do not need a visa or work permit to enter the country. Once you acquire a residence permit and have lived in Iceland for six months, you'll automatically become a member of the Icelandic social insurance system, regardless of nationality.
