Take a quick look at winejobs.com and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I went recently to their site and entered “compliance” in the search by keyword box. The list of positions which involve some type of compliance duties ranged from winemaker to enologist to office manager to accountant to tasting room manager. That pretty much covers the spectrum of positions on most winery sites! And they’re all responsible for compliance! So for an individual who is interested in finding a position that is limited to just compliance the offerings are fairly slim.

As an Executive Search Consultant, I’ve realized that working with a 3rd party negotiator (the Recruiter) is always favorable to a candidate. There are several reasons for this…

So what should you do to keep the employer from learning of your job search? A secret is no longer a secret if you tell co-workers or think you can get some job hunting in on company time. Never use your company email address or phone number in your undercover job search. Be sure you have a professional message on your answering machine. If you have to make a call back do it on your lunch hour. Further, if you start taking sick leave, or three-hour lunches for your job interviews; where you have to start telling stories about your absences the jig will soon be up.

But the difference between a Software Engineer and a Director of IT is vast, and if you’re looking to make a jump of this magnitude, be prepared for a fight. Understand going in that you’re competing with candidates who have at least one, and possibly several Director of IT jobs under their belt. What makes you a viable candidate? Perhaps more accurately, what do you have that they don’t? If you can’t answer these questions satisfactorily, then you’re probably aiming too high.

One thing you have to keep in mind is to double check the salary that you are expected to earn and how it compares to the standard of living in that place. If the expenses are high and the salary isn’t at par with it, you will be barely able to make ends meet. Although a lot of it is physical effort, there is scope for better opportunities too once you arrive there and survey the opportunities for employment in overseas construction jobs. In such a case, it doesn’t make much of a sense to go there. On the other hand you can go for it if it allows you to earn more and save the excess.
