Work in Israel every year more and more attracts foreigners. This is primarily due to the high level of development of the country and good wages for highly qualified specialists.
In 2019, working in Israel has become even more desirable for foreigners. After all, this country is able to offer not only a fairly high level of wages, but also many other social benefits, the implementation of which falls directly on the shoulders of the employer himself.
It is much easier for repatriates to get a job than for citizens of other states.
Work in Israel attracts not only high wages, but also a good climate and the reliability of the fulfillment of labor obligations.
Finding a job in 2019 in the Holy Land is possible in several ways. One of the most widespread today is the Internet.
In the worldwide web, you can often find similar ads "I'm looking for or providing a job in Israel." But in fact, in this way, it is difficult to find a highly paid job, since highly qualified specialists are highly valued in this state. Basically, they are required in a company with an international name and high authority.
Often, such organizations do not post their vacancies on the Internet, but use the services of international recruitment agencies for recruitment. Therefore, if a person intends to look for work in Israel, it is better to immediately seek help from a specialized agency.
Agencies undertake the obligation to select the required vacancy based on the specialty, education, work experience and skill level. They will detail which vacancies are suitable for women and which for men.
Employees of the agency, after studying the personal data of a person, contact potential employers and offer them a candidate for a job. The decision on hiring remains only with the employer. It is he who decides whether he needs an employee with such specialization and qualifications.
Finding a job in Israel may not always be successful, because it may simply not justify the hopes of the applicant regarding wages. High wages are offered only to highly qualified specialists. But this is not the only way to make good money.
Jews are very competent and appreciate good employees. Therefore, if a person has proven himself on the good side, even at a job that is not too decent for him, he may well count on promotion and pay for his work. For more information on how to look for a job in Israel, see this video.
Special employment programs
Israeli legislation has developed a number of programs that allow you to travel to Israel for the purpose of employment. The program involves providing a job to a person who meets their requirements. The main requirements for participation in the program are:
- Age from 25 to 55 years.
- Female. This requirement is not basic, but the female sex is given more preference than the male.
- Decency.
- Good nature.
- Diligence.
Work in these programs is nursing or part-time care for the elderly and disabled. Such employment involves working with living in the same territory with a person who needs care.
Different programs provide for their own conditions of employment. But basically, many provide not only housing, but also food. The cost of the program is one thousand dollars. This amount is paid directly by the person who is looking for work.
You can find a job both in a medical institution - a hospice, and at home with permanent residence.
Such work is completely legal and has all legal grounds. The employer provides the employee with free medical insurance, annual leave and holidays. A huge advantage is that it is possible to get a job even without knowing the national language of Israel - Hebrew.
This is due to the large number of repatriates in this country (people who have Jewish roots, but grew up in another country) and the Russian-speaking population.
This program provides an opportunity for a person to choose the employer that he likes. It is mandatory to draw up an employment contract that fixes all the basic conditions and obligations regarding the labor process.
There are several versions of the program that have minor differences in the basic requirements. For many of them, gender does not matter, only the spiritual component of a person is important. This is an excellent prospect for couples who decide to leave to work in Israel, as the program does not exclude the possibility of visiting the country with a spouse.
The contract between the employer and the employee is for one year. If at the end of the term both parties are satisfied, there is the possibility of extending the contract for a longer period. The maximum renewal period is 8 years.
An example of a labor court decision in Israel
It is interesting that the employer is engaged in the design at the initial stage. He applies for a visa to the Ministry of the Interior. After considering it and making a decision on issuing a work visa, the written agreement is submitted to the Embassy or Consulate of Israel. This document serves as an "invitation to enter" the territory of the country.
The person who received this document must contact the Embassy or Consulate of the country of actual residence and submit documents such as:
In 2019, the validity of a work visa of this category is one year. It is important to remember that it is necessary to enter the state within thirty days from the date of opening the visa.
Extension of a work visa is possible for a period of five years.
Employment and work permit
In 2019, not all employers have the right to employ foreign representatives at their enterprises. Only those who have a special license for this, which is issued to the employer by the Ministry of Industry, Labor and Trade, have this right. A work permit is issued by the same authorized body of the state.
It is important that the permit is issued after the employer submits an application to the ministry.
An employee cannot obtain a work permit on his own, since the document issued is strictly tied to a specific employer and place of work.
Submission of documents must be carried out by the same employer who submitted documents for opening a visa for work.
If a change of workplace is envisaged, then the employee and his new employer apply to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the issuance of a new document confirming the work permit.
Demanded specialties in Israel
Israel is one of the countries whose level of medical and technological services is increasing every year. Therefore, in this country, specialties such as:
- Employees in the field of medicine.
- Builders.
- Engineers in various industries.
- Teachers.
The most common vacancies for foreigners
One of the most common vacancies for Ukrainians is the specialty of a home assistant. It is included in the category of precisely those professions that are constantly required on the territory of this state.
The work of a housekeeper implies employment with accommodation and the inclusion of a full social package. The main duties of a person include cleaning, washing, cooking and shopping for the house.
A special kind of such a profession is the care of incapacitated individuals. This job is also with permanent residence in the family. She has a good salary and is mainly in demand among women.
Many agricultural structures offer vacancies for the collection of vegetables and fruits. They are relevant for both women and men.
But the only drawback is the inconsistency of work, because staff is required only during the seasonal period.
Often, employers offer conditions with accommodation in their territory. The advantage of this work is that it is not necessary to know Hebrew.
The factory needs workers for the production of paper products. Many recruitment agencies offer this job to foreigners. Job advertisements for this company can also be found on the Internet.
The employer provides only a workplace without accommodation. But in return for this, a person receives health insurance and mandatory days off.
