No Stupid Question: How do you apply for a job in Luxembourg?

Luxembourg and its culturally diverse population… a great part of living in the country, until it comes to the job market.

Just as hopeful candidates come from all over the world, so do recruiters, which means they bring along different codes and criteria they scan future employees for. How do you adapt your job application to this?

There is also the issue of expectations: what kind of commute are you looking at, how many hours are you willing to spend at work, what kind of salary is normal in a country where indicating wage ranges in job offers is still a rarity? And how much of your personal life do you have to reveal to your potential future employer?

To understand how to optimise your chances of finding work in the grand duchy while ensuring it’s also the right fit for you, we’ve sat down with human(e) recruiter Zach Traer, who moved here from Canada 5 years ago, and now works for Talkwalker.
