It may be that you have worked in this country all your working life, and now feel it is time for a change. More and more adults are deciding to take a “grown up gap year” and explore opportunities abroad. If this sounds attractive then read on.
Teaching, in particular Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) is very popular and is in great demand particularly in less developed countries in Africa, South East Asia and parts of eastern Europe.
Au pairwork is also in high demand. With teaching and au pair employment, you have the added advantage of getting your accommodation and meals included in your contract.
There is plenty of work out there if you are looking for a short term post whilst travelling abroad and are fairly flexible about the type of work you do. So why not just go for it!
It could be that you are looking for something short term during a gap year or that you have had enough of the rat race in this country and want to move abroad. Either way, there are lots of jobs to be had all over the world. Some countries, eg Australia and New Zealand positively welcome with open arms additions to their workforce from overseas.
A good starting point is jobsabroad.com. You can select the country that you would like to find work in and the job category that you are searching for work under. With a myriad of job categories and every country listed, the job best suited to you in the country that you desire really must be there somewhere! Whether it’s teaching, medicine, nannying or carpentry, there are oodles of opportunities out there.
Other places you can start your search for an overseas job are gumtree.com – a website where you can post for free and where you can find just about anything, or expatforum.com – a similar website aimed specifically at British expats moving overseas or looking for jobs abroad and where registered members can communicate with one another via the forums to seek advice or helpful hints.
