Working abroad is a dream for many people. It is a great way to get resume-building experience, see the world while getting paid, and build an exciting global career while living longer-term overseas. Whether you see yourself as bartending in London, working as a management trainee for a multinational corporation, or opening an office for your company in Kuala Lumpur, The Global Citizen can help get you there.

The global work environment is very dynamic and there are numerous ways to find a job overseas. As you'll learn in The Global Citizen book, finding a job abroad requires a different mentality, job search strategy and skill set than finding a job in your home country. But with insider advice from those who've found jobs abroad, you'll learn how to evaluate the most promising options for finding work in your field. Special Work Abroad Features cover the global job market realities, catch-22 situations and how to get around them, work permits and working permit alternatives, plus job-hunting secrets and much more.
