Is there any opportunity for me to directly apply for a job abroad while I am currently working?

Yes, you can apply directly for jobs abroad while currently employed, especially with your 5 years of experience in electrical engineering.
Many international employers value candidates with your background for roles such as Senior Electrical Engineer or Electrical Project Engineer. Having a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 is often required for work visa applications (subject to change).
To improve your chances, make sure your resume highlights your experience and skills clearly. If you need help with overseas job applications or visa processes, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
