A job with people from the pandemic, it’s become more common than people from all over the world. just like we looking at some jobs that you can do online and other ones that maybe you can find in your city or by traveling abroad. and finally it’s probably something that you already have on your mind,
It can be a huge benefit to be making money in another currency, like the dollar, the euro or the pound. so let’s get started with our list. first up you could become a tour guide and this is a perfect job if you love things like history art or culture. and nowadays it’s become easier than ever with different services
Like airbnb giving a tour in your city for free volunteering so that you can get a little bit of experience and oftentimes with these kind of tours (i know at least here in barcelona) they offer some of these and they’re completely based on tips. so if you do a really good job, if you go above and beyond, then
People are going to want to give you money. even though you’re just volunteering to start out with. and many fluent english speakers gravitate towards the tourism industry, so this could be a great place for you to get started, if that includes you. and you could maybe start out with this in your own city and then even
Look for opportunities abroad, so it could be a great way for you to get some traveling experience. and continuing in tourism you could work in the hospitality industry. you could of course become a restauranteer, you could be someone who works as a waiter or a busboy or bus girl in a restaurant. that’s the
Person who cleans up the plates after people are finished eating. a really great thing if you’re able to do this in a country like the united states is you would even get tips again. just great to look for restaurants that are in more touristic areas and, you know, maybe the pay isn’t that great, but you’re really looking
For that experience to start developing your english with people who are traveling so that you’re using your english out there in the real world. you’re gaining some more confidence with your speaking. a hotel or in a hostel as a receptionist and people from around the world. and actually i have some
Friends who have incredible english speaking and guess where they got their start. they worked as a receptionist in a hostel and this even allowed them to meet travelers and to even make some friends that they have until this day. something else that you could do is organizing events, which is something that we used
To do at reallife english. we would have these really great big english parties where, you know, we’d be in brazil or here in barcelona and a bunch of locals get together and speak english with some drinks. it’s really fun. so, i used to love going to other events too here in barcelona. this would be a great thing to
Look for for improving your english in your city. but even if you don’t have these in your city, then why don’t you be the person who organizes it? even if it’s just a few people getting together to have some fun speaking english, it can be a really great way to make connections and, again, you’re getting
Some valuable experience that you could then use to apply to a future job. or maybe you’re already working in a multinational company but you just have not had many opportunities yet to use your english in your job. if this is the case, then i highly recommend that you have a conversation with your boss and you tell him
Or her that you would be really open to any opportunities like this which can be really great because, you know, a lot of people have families, they don’t want to be away from them, so if you show that you’re interested in this, maybe because you’re younger, open to that, then maybe those opportunities send
You on that plane to that other place. some of these don’t even have to necessarily be that you’re going for a meeting or something like that. a lot of times companies will promote their employees going abroad for different learning experiences, so maybe it could be attending a conference at your company’s headquarters
Or that you look into if your company offers any benefits like this or even if your company is offering these kind of opportunities digitally to attend some sort of webinar or digital event. i highly recommend again that you jump on it because getting this kind of experience will give you the skills that you
Need then to be considered for great on your resume that you’ve attended you can apply for a job in another country, so if that’s something you have as an objective in your life, then make sure that you’re taking already have where you are right now. and, you know, depending what career you’re in or what
You’re studying, what you studied at university, working remotely. especially since the pandemic, finding that it’s much easier to find talent from anywhere in the world than just limiting themselves to the city where they are physically looking into this if it’s something that you’re getting that experience
Of working with people in the workplace. there are tons of different ways that you can do this. obviously you can be directly hired by a company to work for them, with different companies or entrepreneurs. really help other people, then you might want to check out some websites like upwork or fiverr
Where you can display these skills. and you can already be getting paid for doing those things. if you get enough clients maybe they’ll even give you the opportunity to travel abroad or to do other things that you’re really passionate about. and if you have really fluent english, one of these potential jobs could be being
A translator. you know, people always need to translate documents and websites and things like this into english and a lot of times they will even have a person on their team who does that. you could start your own translation business and work with different companies, or work as a freelancer with people
Who are just working on projects that need to be translated. if you get really good at this, then you could even specialize in it, you know, get some sort of certification and even become a live interpreter. just imagine being at some sort of event where you’re listening and you’re having to translate as it’s going. it
Would be pretty exciting, right? you know, if you are looking for job opportunities, one of the most priceless network of different people, so you obviously want to build the people that you have connections with on linkedin and one great way for you to meet people from around the world is with the reallife

Listener, so if this is the case, have no fear. there are still opportunities for you’ve never done this before, you definitely are going to want to get some practice, because it requires really fast typing, but once you get the hang of it, then this can bring you all sorts of opportunities. you can connect with people
Online on websites like i mentioned earlier like upwork or fiverr. and this could open up a whole new job for you. you could even become an entrepreneur now i’m a bit biased but i think this is definitely one of the coolest options that we have here on the list today. so i’m not sure if you’ve been following us
For very long, but if you have, then you might know that over on our learn english with tv series channel, i used to actually film videos on my old iphone. it wasn’t even this one, it was a much worse one. and so you having a phone nowadays gives you so much power, because you can become a content creator, so lots of
Businesses hire people to create content for their social media or for blogs. you could even just create your own content. maybe it could be around english learning or something else that you’re skilled or passionate about. a lot of people nowadays can make a whole career out of becoming an influencer. or
Maybe you’re really into travel and if you’re having some plans to backpack around europe, for example, you could actually document the whole thing on your phone and trying to do it in a high quality way and then you can actually take all these adventures that you’re having and turn it into tips for other people. so you
Can be a travel vlogger or a travel blogger, if you prefer writing. and even just doing this as a hobby just for yourself or maybe for your friends or maybe to connect to a few close fans. then this can be a really great way to practice your english by recording yourself and watching yourself. trust me, when i first
Started out doing this i felt super awkward seeing myself on camera, hearing my voice but you get used to it and it’s a really great way to build your confidence to identify different mistakes you’re making and to improve and you have an entrepreneurial spirit, you want to start your own business or perhaps
You already have started your own business. knowing english and being fluent can help you really if you don’t know english, it’s you can start doing marketing in english, so that people from other countries can discover what you’re up to. or maybe you’re a more creative type, maybe you’re an artist of some sort. so
Many famous actors like arnold schwarzenegger, penelope cruz, sofia vergara would not be where they are today if they didn’t know english and if they hadn’t worked really hard at getting to a really high level of confidence with their english speaking. even with some mistakes or even with a bit of an accent. or maybe
You’re a musician. if you start making some of your music in english, it doesn’t have to all be in english of course, it can again help you to gain fans from other countries. people like anitta wouldn’t have gotten her huge fame that she has acquired recently, if she didn’t start creating some of her music in english
As well as in spanish and in her native portuguese. or maybe you’re a writer and, once again, you could of course have someone translate your writings. but why not just try writing in english yourself and acquiring first hand that audience? and of course this last one is near and dear to my heart. you could become an
English that you can go about this. you can, you know, get a proper degree and you could teach at schools in your country. you could get a job at a language school maybe if you’re still studying, then it’s something that you could do to make some money. on the side you could teach privately, you know, either
Online or by having people come to your house or going to students house. you could tutor people, even. maybe if you don’t have any official degrees yet but you still want to try it out to see if you like it, or just get a little bit of that initial experience, then you could, you know, ask any of your friends if they

English as a foreign language certificate. and i moved to brazil and i got my first job officially teaching school in belo horizonte. from there i was able to acquire my own private students and then as reallife english grew up, i didn’t even depend on the income from teaching english anymore. so if it’s the
