Absolutely. The Omek community offers free access to mentors, experts, workshops, and resources on resume writing and navigating the job market as a bicultural professional. Join our community to take the next step in your career.
6. Do companies offer visa support?
It depends. Most of the companies we work with are hiring for roles based in Europe. Visa requirements and support vary based on the country, the role, and the level of seniority. In general, senior-level positions are more likely to include visa sponsorship. We recommend checking the job post or contacting the recruiter for specific details.
Note: Even if a role is listed as “remote,” the country where you live still matters. Governments often require employees to reside in the country where the company is registered, primarily for tax and legal reasons. This means relocation may still be necessary, depending on the job and local regulations.
For up-to-date visa guidance, explore these official resources:

6. What if I don’t see a job that fits my background?
We recommend setting up job alerts, engaging in our community events to grow your network, and using our career resources to enhance your visibility and skills.
7. How does the job board align with Omek’s mission?
The job board is part of Omek’s mission to create real, human pathways into inclusive workplaces for bicultural talent of African descent. Every opportunity we feature is backed by a values-based, community-centered approach to recruitment and career growth.
