FOREIGN JOBS
One quality often characterizes people who work abroad:
Determination, in this case, to make it to another
country. If you're going to move to France, Thailand or
some other far-off land, this quality is often a
prerequisite. Searching for work in the US alone can be
a challenge, and now you're dealing with the additional
hurdles of a foreign language and unfamiliar customs.
But determination is not enough. Typically, those who
succeed in finding work abroad have a strategy to make
it happen. How do you turn your determination into
results? Here are five strategies for finding
international jobs.
Just Go
This isn't the strategy for everyone, given the risks,
but it's one time-tested, adventurous way to jump-start
an international career. The idea is simple: Choose your
country, move there and hope for the best. Actually,
those who subscribe to the "just do it" mentality often
incorporate an extensive amount of planning into the
process.
They research the job market in a particular region,
make contacts and assess how long they'll be able to
make it on their allocated funds. If all goes well, they
reason, they'll find a job. If not, they've had an
adventurous experience.
Move up the Ladder
A more conservative approach is to find a company known
for sending its employees abroad. There's no guarantee
you'll be among those chosen for an international stint,
but setting this as a goal, and letting your managers
know of your interest, is one way to work an overseas
job into your long-term career plan. If your employer
knows you're interested in an international assignment,
you'll be able to use periodic reviews as a way to
discuss the possibility of achieving this goal.
Companies need to match the right people for overseas
assignments, but they also want those with a strong
desire to work abroad.
Make Connections
In these days of global communications, it's often
possible to make contacts in other countries. To get
started, join online discussion groups related to your
profession. Whether you're a Java coder or a marketing
guru, you will be able to find email lists and other
forums devoted to your profession, often with members
from other countries. Get to know them, seek advice and
offer some to learn about opportunities in other
countries. Online forums unrelated to work may be
valuable meeting spots, too, but those connected with a
specific field or area of expertise are often best for
making the sort of contacts helpful in finding
international work.
Go to School
You may think you've had enough of education, but
learning opportunities abound in other countries, from
immersion language courses to archaeology programs
connected with ongoing digs. Once you're in a country,
you'll be in a much better position to make the local
connections needed to find paid work. Of course, you
should be aware of the rules for work permits. Taking a
full-time job may be prohibited under the terms of a
student visa.
Start a Business or Freelance
Again, this isn't for everyone, but it is one way to
make it to another country. Gain experience abroad,
learn the language and start making local contacts.
Those able to freelance from another country, such as
technical writers or graphic artists, may be able to
support themselves on US work as they establish
themselves elsewhere. Starting a business abroad,
whether it's as a bed-and-breakfast in Mexico or a tour
operation in Russia, is another route. Ambitious, yes,
but it can be done.
EMPLOYMENT TRENDS
Excerpted from the Australia Career Guide
Employment in sales, IT, accounting and finance, office
support, and marketing should be abundant in the near
future. Other areas showing positive employment signs
include health care, pharmaceuticals, call centers and
customer service, consumable goods, transportation,
wholesale distribution, domestic travel, and leisure
camping and eco-tours.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Excerpted from the Australia Career Guide
A recent government study identified skills shortages in
Australia in the following areas:
• C++ programming
• CISSP
• E-commerce security
• Firewall/Internet security
• Java security and electronic commerce
• PeopleSoft
• Progress
• SAP
• Satellite design
• Siebel
• Sybase SQL Server
• XML
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE
Excerpted from the Australia Career Guide
Specialists remain much in demand. Increases in personal
bankruptcies and failing businesses have created demand
for specialists in insolvency and corporate recovery
work. The New Tax System introduced in 2000 has caused
many commercial headaches, creating a strong need for
high level Chartered Accountants.
The introduction of the new system has also prompted a
significant interest in freelance bookkeepers to oversee
the traditionally ad hoc approach to accounts many small
businesses followed. Bookkeepers are now much in demand,
particularly those with a solid knowledge of the
industry-standard Australian software MYOB (Mind Your
Own Business).
