Work Abroad: The Complete Guide to Finding a Job Overseas (Work Abroad)

While English teachers may require a more focused guide, the book does provide a good overview and plenty of relevant web sites to explore for more information in that area. For anyone wishing to travel and make a living at the same time, the purchase of this book is money very well spent. After all, if you land a job after using the guide, it'll pay for itself on day one.

Thanks to this book and despite me having no teaching experience or certification, I found a job within a week. This book is concise and contains many links to websites I could not find on my own. The job I received is in Mexico and they are paying for my plane tickets and rent when I get there, along with a nice salary. I am very pleased. If you want a job then I would suggest you look here first.

Work Abroad is the complete, comprehensive, practical, and "user friendly" how-to guide for finding jobs overseas. Whether it's for an interesting volunteer position, a paid employment full or part-time, this indispensable guide is an ideal and instructive reference. There are country-by-country listings of key employers and organizations, lists of the best books and websites, a wealth of helpful first-hand reports from people on their experiences when working abroad. Work Abroad is a very highly recommended addition to any personal, school, job center, or community library jobs/careers resources and reference collection.
