Working overseas is nothing new for millions of Indians. We have Indians working in North America, Gulf Countries, Africa etc for years now.
The main reason why people love working overseas is money. Yes it is really tough but money that they make in a short period of time is quite good.
If you want to work overseas then you can easily find white collar as well as blue collar jobs.
Here I give you some of the best overseas career opportunities for both white collar and blue collar jobs.
Overseas Career Opportunities for Blue Collar Jobs
Let us first start with some of the most available blue collar jobs.
Construction Worker
A huge number of construction workers are required by companies operating in Gulf States like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman etc.
These countries are investing billions of dollars in infrastructure like building roads, houses, bridges, hotels, offices and tall buildings.
So they need construction workers. If a worker works hard enough then he could easily make Rs 50,000/- a month.
However he has to work for 16 hours a day. It is really tough but money is great.
Medical Workers from physicians to Nurses
All kinds of medical workers are needed especially nurses. If you have done a degree course in nursing then you can easily find a job in Gulf States as well as in some of the western
countries.
You might know that there are lot of women from Kerala who are working as nurses in Gulf States.
Salary that they make is around Rs 20,000/- to Rs 40,000/- a month. Moreover they also get free housing and lodging.
However the job is tough.
Housekeeping Jobs like Nanny and Maids
Housekeeping jobs like maids or nannies are also available in Gulf States. If you are less qualified then you can work as nanny or housemaid. 
I know you wouldn’t like to work as a maid but if you want to earn good money in small interval of time then nanny or maid job is not that bad.
You don’t have to worry about housing because everything is taken care of.

If you can’t work as a construction worker then you can find jobs in servicing like delivery boys, stewards and cooks. 
Money is as great as a construction worker. Delivery boys in Dubai can easily make Rs 20,000/- to Rs 25,000/- a month.
A cook also makes great money because they are in great demand.
So these were some of the blue collar jobs available mainly in Gulf States. To get these overseas career opportunities, you just have to be 10th or 12th pass.

Certain Things to Keep in Mind Before You Apply for a Job Overseas
Before you think of working overseas you need to keep following things in mind.
1. Legit Passport and Visa Fraud: Do not fell prey to an agent who will promise you to give a genuine passport in return of a huge sum of money. Follow all the due procedures and avoid Visa fraud.
2. Knowing Laws in Gulf States: There are many reasons you should not go for gulf jobs. Gulf countries have no human rights. If you are found doing something illegal like carrying drugs or saying anything against the government then you may be sentenced to death especially in Gulf States.
3. Working Conditions: Finally beware of working conditions. They have labor camps where workers are rested and the condition there is not good.
So these were few things to keep in mind before you apply for an overseas job.
