How to Launch Your Career Overseas in an Emerging Market - I’ve conducted extensive internship and job searches on three continents and I must humbly admit that I’ve received this rejection email in four different languages. I did everything right. I did everything I was told to do. I went on the job forums and posted my CV. I applied to all the right companies with the tailor-made cover letter. I found out the HR representative’s name and addressed it to her. What else does a guy have to do to get a job around here? It was time to change my strategy and do something different. I didn’t care if it wasn’t what I was “supposed” to do, because none of the “rules” were giving me the result I wanted – a plethora of interview offers from consultancies in an emerging market. After testing out many unorthodox strategies, I finally came up with a method that could be replicated by other people in search of a launch pad for their own emerging market career. I’ve experienced the entire spectrum of recruitment, human resources, internships, and full time job offers on many different occasions in many different countries. The following blueprint is the product of years of trial and error, repeated failure, and ultimately consistent success. MORE >>>

Found in Translation: A Beginner’s Guide to TEFL Training in Prague - For many years, Prague has been a Mecca for TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) training but how is the industry evolving and what should you know before committing to a TEFL course? The financial crisis has undeniably had an adverse effect on the whole spectrum of language learning in Europe recently and language schools in the Czech Republic have also been hit by the recession. The Czech Republic (and Prague in particular), has in the past picked up the reputation of being a sort of lush grazing ground for certified and uncertified English teachers and at one time all the credentials needed for standing in front of a classroom of paying language students was a passport from an English-speaking country. Sad to say that the days of enormous demand for teachers are over but Prague still remains one of the hubs in Europe where Aussies, Brits, Kiwis and North Americans rub shoulders with local Czechs, while teaching English and soaking up the local flavor of the city’s well-deserved international reputation as a city of culture and general jovial frolics.

Get Off The Couch! In This Economy, It Could Kill You - In order to make money, you need to get off the couch and learn a few new tricks. It’s a proven fact that there comes a moment after people have suffered long enough that they become willing to try something new and different, just to quiet the noise in their head. In hindsight, many people report that the changes they were forced to make turned out to be the best thing that could have ever happened to them. This ‘darkest before dawn’ theme is common throughout history, and it is during these times when fortunes are made and new dynasties are begun. It takes energy to come up with a new money-making idea, but once the idea has legs and takes form, it becomes exciting and creates all the energy necessary for success. All entrepreneurs will tell you that new ventures feed upon themselves and create a life-force of their own. It’s exciting; I call it ‘the ride up,’ when a new idea takes off and it’s all blue skies with boundless horizons. It’s even addictive, seductive and often very rewarding. The trick is to find an idea that works in order for an entrepreneur to be inspired long enough to dedicate a few hours a day to birth and grow a new business into a money-making machine. MORE >>>

Working Overseas in Puerto Rico as a Licensed Artesan By Andrea Jansen - In 1997, my partner Ken and I were living in Oregon when we had a pivotal discussion about everyman’s dream: quitting our jobs, buying a boat and sailing to the Caribbean. A self-taught artist in my spare time, I dreamt of painting for real on some tropical isle like Gauguin. I knew virtually nothing about boating, but the idea sounded so appealing (and romantic), that four months later we were proudly sitting on our 33-foot trawler, renamed Ruff Life. After a grueling 4 month cruise we landed in Puerto Rico. Weary and shell-shocked, I promptly declared my cruising days over. Ken jumped right in to the community and opened a kite shop, while, for therapy, I painted on anything I could find. Weekends found us wandering around the many craft festivals across the island. We were amazed by what we saw: carved wooden saints, fabric dolls, and delicately painted feathers, interspersed with seed jewelry, paper maché masks and homemade candies. And the relaxed-looking artists appeared to be having a good time. One day, a friend introduced me to the local variety of calabash gourd, found throughout the Caribbean and known in Puerto Rico as the hig?era. I knew nothing about gourd art, or the typical uses for this hard-shelled fruit. Other hig?era artists fashioned traditional items such as masks, maracas, and simple tableware; what could I do that was different? MORE >>>

How to Start a New Life in Australia - I found a casual job teaching almost as soon as we arrived and worked 3 days a week. This paid for our initial rent and gave us the time we needed to re-take a theoretical driving license, sort out a Medicare (medical) card, my husband to sign up with job agencies and have several job interviews, me to have check ups at a midwife/doctor birthing center to monitor my pregnancy and generally get a feel of the suburbs. We rented a house in a well kept, green, friendly suburb and made friends with our neighbours. We slowly started to build on our somewhat limited social life. Our son arrived healthy and well. It was easier with a baby than I had imagined because there are many activities for new moms and pre-schoolers. Networking is the name of the game to source information, make job contacts and find out how Australia works. It is difficult to find information that caters for new immigrants that explains the systems, work ethics, social ideas etc and how to make the first step when wanting to fit in. My husband found a job in IT within 6 months of being here. This is the typical time it can take. It has taken him 2 years in total to work his way back up, changing jobs three times, to the position he was at in Switzerland. 18 months after arriving we bought a house not far from the sea, near to the train line and now have a life. We’ve been here two years now and haven’t looked back. The move has been made easier by the helpfulness of Australians. The positive relaxed attitude they have about themselves, their country and life tends to rub off after a while. MORE >>>

Articles On Overseas Teaching Jobs - Articles on teaching jobs overseas - where to find them, written by those who have found them. There may be courses in college that teach you to live overseas but it's doubtful; and if there is, it isn't the same as living there... the majority of these articles are written by a person much like yourself who is living & working overseas. QUOTE: "After all this, what does college life look like in a Latin American backwater like Colima? In terms of enjoying yourselves and nightlife, that sort of thing boils down to four or five discos in Colima. Even during my more naive and innocent days as a student discos never deserved to be called my cup of tea. But that’s a matter of taste. For good measure, we may chuck in a few good restaurants, nice cafes and cinemas. But as far as nightlife goes, that’s it more or less for students and everbody else in Colima. Finally, we may include the Mexican obsession table dancing. I can’t recall how often students have asked me already to go with them to table dancing. My response is always the same:”I only go to table dancing if you’re sister dances on the table”.

QUOTE: "Job Seeking Blues - Finding Work In Taiwan - Finding Work In Taiwan ~ by Daniel Wallace - I was in the park with a friend one night, and he explained all his blues. "So, I was teaching in Japan, thinking about flying home, then I get this email from a school in Taiwan. They say they'll pay me 60,000 a month, a free scooter, a free apartment, a free hotel when I arrive and I don't have to sign a contract until I've seen the school. So, I come to Taiwan, and at the airport, the manager is standing there and she wants me to sign the contract before she can drive me to the hotel."

Offshore Medical Schools - Offshore Medical Schools - Overseas Medical Schools - Covers the Offshore Medical Schools in the Caribbean as well as Europe & Asia. Our Overseas Medical Schools Section - Covers the Offshore Medical Schools Options. - Dont Let The US Governement Crush Your Dreams - Attend A Foreign Medical School. - Entry into American Medical Schools is hampered by AMA quotas. Ward Dean M.D. of The Center for Bio-Gerontology, Pensacola, FL spoke out on this issue in an article entitled Solving the Medical Care Crisis in the United States with a Free Market Approach. In this article he stated, "Open [up the] enrollments in medical, nursing, and other health-care related fields like X-ray, laboratory technology, physical therapy, etc., to allow all qualified applicants to enroll. Acceptance into medical, nursing, and other schools in the health care field is very competitive. For example, there are probably 10-20 qualified applicants for every vacancy in medical school. Most nursing schools have 2-3 year waiting periods (despite an alleged chronic shortage of nurses). Many highly motivated and talented people wind up going into other fields. If there are not enough vacancies, or not enough schools to accommodate the demand, the class sizes should be increased, or more schools should be built!" We agree with Dr. Dean - Until his advice is taken, if it is, students have the option of attending foreign medical schools rather than abandoning their dream.

Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity, intended to promote good or improve human quality of life, but people also volunteer for their own skill development, to meet others, to make contacts for possible employment, to have fun, and a variety of other reasons that could be considered self-serving. Volunteerism is the act of selflessly giving your life to something you believe free of pay. Although if a person volunteers they may not earn money, it produces a feeling of self-worth and volunteers earn respect and Favors instead of money.
