Lucrative International Jobs

International Jobs: Just a Lucrative Financial Bonanza?

Imagine yourself with a job in your top international destination, doing the job you have always wanted. Or stretch it even more. Imagine yourself working in several of your favourite international destinations doing the job you like best and getting paid an enormous sum for your expertise. Many people fantasize but when push comes to shove, most are stay-at-homes and travel is part of vacation. But if you have skills, especially the ones that are sought after in today's job market, you are in.

International jobs are not as difficult to find as some make it sound. And once you're in and have shown your expertise, chances are you will forever abandon thoughts of doing a 9-5 job in the same old city the whole of your life. I am not saying this is bad but if you have itchy feet, you will get a chance to not just look at other cultures as a tourist, but participate in them as a co-worker and that is vastly different. This type of experience is like winning a new set of eyes and you'll never see the world in the same way again.

And with an international salary, return travel paid and the possibilities of a living allowance and other subsidies and even first class education for the kids, it is often a financial bonanza.

But it is more than just a financial bonanza. For your career, you'll have a chance at leadership and mentoring roles much sooner and these may be more satisfying than just staying in your usual cubbyhole.

If you have read this far, you may have the wanderlust so start dreaming. Your international job awaits you.

An International Workplace

Travel the World

Yes, the world can be your work place. You can work in any of these countries at one time or another. If this is an interest start finding out how.

International Job Choices

What International Job Attracts You?

international jobs

Do you want to work for multinational corporations? For non-government organizations? The International Agencies like the United Nations? On development projects, finance, business? Or as a diplomat? As an employee or as an independent consultant? Or as a teacher, a hotel manager, a chef or a butler? Or military assignments? Or as a sailor? Or, maybe, you want to go and open a restaurant, a boutique, or a business you have always wanted in a place you have always dreamed about.

Countless opportunities are out there waiting for you.

Look at pictures of actual things international workers do

Can you see yourself in this?

Concerns about international jobs?

Kids? Medical Facilities?

If you have kids, the experience will be a permanent reservoir of ideas and experiences that will never leave them. And with an international salary, return travel paid and the possibilities of a living allowance and even subsidized education for the kids, it is often a financial bonanza. If quality of education for children is a concern, you'll find the international schools in many countries have standards and expectations well beyond your local school and with the International Baccalaureate and other standards, the grades will be recognized when they come home.

Medical facilities? You get lots of help in many of these countries. You can fly to some of the best hospitals in an hour or two if it is not available in your country of choice. In fact, many international consultants, even when back working in their own countries, now use dental and other medical services in the countries they used to work. Not only would they get quality services, but also great holidays for less price.

Many companies provide family insurance as well. Make sure you discuss this with your employer before signing that contract.

How does one find International Job Opportunities?

Start where you are at

Search closer to home. Check your present employer. If you are part of a multinational company, ask your HR department if there are any chances to work offshore. If there are none, time to think of being independent. Or, check out other companies in the same general line of business.

Do a search on the Internet. Start with recruitment sites specializing on international jobs. Look at the positions and bids advertised. Check out the contracts that have already been awarded and the job positions included. Read the terms of reference for these bids and contracts. Take note of the companies that bid and visit their sites.

Browse through international magazines and newspapers. Many of these magazines like The Economist or The International Herald Tribune advertise international positions and often detail the requirements for such. These will give you some ideas on what to focus on.

You will be surprised at what you'll get.

  • Expand your horizon. You will be surprised at how many new jobs there are that you have never thought of. Go to your Human Resources office. They often have information on these jobs. They can help you reach some of the key players in their network. They can also point you to where the jobs are and the requirements these jobs demand.
  • Test the field out. Send your resume to some of the agencies, companies or organizations you have identified. You'll never know what responses you'll get Just keep sending. Look at the jobs they advertise and tailor your resume to address specifics. As many international job seekers say, you need to kiss a lot of frogs to get a prince.

Sites on international development opportunities

Interesting international development project

Have a sense of what it takes

Development projects often hire consultants who are specialists in their field or project managers who will be responsible for the implementation of the project. Opportunities like these abound. Do your search and you will be surprised at the number of projects and agencies and organizations involved.

Here is one sample of a small project with the Asian Development Bank-Japan Fund for Poverty Alleviation. This is focused on post harvest technology and skills bridging program for the rural poor. Though small, this project offers opportunities for those interested in post-harvest technologies. This gives you an idea that there is a need for this in Cambodia, where this project is located. So, if your company is in this business and plans to expand internationally, you can sniff around. If you are into developing learning materials, maybe, you can visit the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training in your trip to Cambodia and see how you can follow up on this opportunity.

What you need for your next international trip

Make sure you have what you need to start work immediately

Remember, there are different plugs for different countries. The voltage varies as well that sometimes, for your favorite tool, you may need a small transformer. Remember, some of these things are available in many countries now, sometimes, even cheaper. Just make sure they work with your machine. At times, you may not have the time to search for these and the stress of not finding one may just be too much. So, it is better to be prepared. Bring your must-have tools for the job.
