Have you been following Anna’s journey this month? She’s been bravely working and travelling abroad.✨
She started by improving her English while looking after kids, then kicked off her work & travel adventure at a 5* hotel in the Netherlands. From there, she flew to South Africa to make a difference through our volunteering program, and later spent a gap year in Australia with a Working Holiday Visa and our full support. 🌍
Of course, Anna isn’t just one person, she’s a blend of the incredible stories we hear from our candidates every day. We created a fictive character to show something important: going abroad is exciting, but it’s not always easy.
Challenges are part of the adventure. With the right mindset and the right people supporting you, those challenges help you grow both personally and professionally.
And that’s what Roast Jobs is all about. We don’t just connect you with opportunities abroad, we guide you, support you, and celebrate with you along the way.
To give you a little peek behind the scenes of working and travelling abroad, here are 10 fun facts about Roast Jobs:
1. A Small Team but Powerful 💪
We may be a small team, but we make a big impact. We stay connected, always look for new opportunities, and make every candidate’s experience personal.
2. International by Nature 🌎
We come from different countries and cultures, just like our candidates. That’s why we understand your journey so well, we’ve lived it ourselves.
We are travellers by nature, living in countries other than our own and gaining experiences across many different cultures through travel, work, volunteering, Erasmus, and more.
3. Multilingual Team 🗣️
Between us, we speak several languages fluently. Whether it’s English, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Dutch or Italian, we make sure communication is never a barrier.
4. Deep Hospitality Roots 🏨
Most of us have worked in hospitality ourselves, from hospitality studies to hostel volunteering, seasonal jobs in hotels and restaurants to full hospitality careers. That’s why we know what employers are looking for, and how to guide you.
5. Creative Thinkers 💡
We love fresh ideas. From interactive videos to gamified rewards, we’re always exploring new ways to make your journey more exciting and engaging.
6. Food Enthusiasts 🍝
Food has a way of bringing people together. Whether it’s a simple team lunch or discovering a new restaurant, we see every shared meal as part of the adventure.
7. We Celebrate Everything 🎉
We believe life is better when you take time to celebrate. We work hard, but we also make sure to enjoy the moments and have fun together.
8. Solution-Driven 🧩
Every candidate has unique challenges. Our goal? To find solutions. From visa advice to placement support, we’ve got your back.
