New ebook guide to 'Getting a Job Abroad'

An estimated 200, 000 people between the ages of 18 and 25 take time out to work and travel abroad each year, and thousands more will take a “career gap”, teach English as a foreign language, or choose to wind down their working life in foreign climes...

Working abroad is a unique and enriching experience, but it is often fraught with unforeseen problems which can lead to frustration and misunderstandings.

Getting a Job Abroad is a free online handbook and directory designed to make the transition as smooth as possible.  The author, Roger Jones is an experienced careers and education writer, and has lived and worked in a number of overseas countries.  Written in concise, clear English, it provides essential information on:

• Finding a Job, applying, and understanding work contracts
• Arranging finance
• The move: insuring and shipping your luggage
• Health, safety and education abroad
• Short-term and Gap Year work

The free ebook also examines popular destination countries in depth, analysing their culture and work ethics, as well as practical considerations.  Useful directories feature at the end of the book, for easy reference to job opportunities by profession, and contact details for firms and embassies.

The ebook, published in paper copy by How To Books, is free to read online at Webooks.co.uk, and there's no need to register.
