1 Research the culture

Before you apply for a job in a new country, do some research on the culture of the organization and the location. Learn about the history, traditions, customs, etiquette, communication styles, and values of the people you’ll be working with. You can use online resources, books, podcasts, or documentaries to get a general overview. You can also reach out to people who have worked or lived there, and ask them for advice and insights. The more you know about the culture, the more prepared you’ll be to adapt and fit in.

I would do online research on that country and speak to people who have visited that country or stayed in that country .Online resources can provide even better information about their food, arts and culture practices and you can listen to podcast and read books, but nothing is better than engaging people in a focus group , and allow them to share their different perspectives on the country you are going to work in. Join online expatriates groups and introduce yourself, before you even buy your flight ticket or receive your work visa.The more wider you do your own research the better you will understand their culture and won't battle to settle in.

2 Show respect and curiosity

During your interview, show respect and curiosity for the culture of the new country. Avoid making assumptions, judgments, or stereotypes based on your own background or experience. Instead, ask open-ended questions, listen actively, and express interest and appreciation for the different perspectives and practices. For example, you can ask about the work environment, the expectations, the challenges, and the opportunities in the new country. You can also share some positive aspects of the culture that you admire or enjoy.

3 Highlight your skills and experiences

Another way to show your cultural competency is to highlight your skills and experiences that are relevant and valuable for the job in the new country. For example, you can mention any language skills, cross-cultural training, international education, or travel experience that you have. You can also give examples of how you have worked effectively with people from different backgrounds, resolved conflicts, adapted to change, or learned from feedback in previous roles. These skills and experiences will show that you are flexible, adaptable, and respectful of diversity.

In addition to thorough research and joining expatriate groups, demonstrating cultural understanding can be achieved through volunteering at local community organizations or non-profits. Such experiences provide invaluable exposure to the local culture, serving as tangible evidence of cultural immersion. It would also be a good idea to acquire local certificates relevant to the job field showcases a commitment to understanding the local context professionally. By integrating these actions with respectful curiosity and highlighting relevant skills during interviews, applicants can effectively convey their cultural competency to potential employers

One of the best things we can do for ourselves professionally, and personally is to live and work in another country. I’ve worked Internationally for over 20 years, but it wasn’t until I lived in another country, not as a visitor with my norms and customs, but as a local, listening and learning, that I experienced the richness of another culture.

I would immerse myself in understanding the people and cultural nuances. The internet and social media has reduced the global distance and ability to connect with people from diverse professional backgrounds and demographic. I would look for professionals in my area of interest who are based in the country and reach out for an engagement and orientation of the culture and professional code in the country.
