The Problem
Would you like a meaningful international business career? How can you explore the possibilities without becoming overwhelmed?
International business careers are often not easy to identify in a comprehensive manner. It can quickly become confusing because many international business careers are not identified as being “international”. They may involve both domestic and international work. They also may have little or no international travel. On the other hand, they may require extensive international travel, or even relocation abroad.
Our Solution
We provide four structured methods to help you clearly explore international business career options. This book gives you access to active, real-time job listings, while providing detailed occupational information. In combination, they help you build realistic expectations (regarding what a job entails). You will also learn how to prepare (key skills and competencies), and identify job requirements (education, credentials and experience). We guide you to take action (using active job listings to get working).
This authoritative book (over 1,000 pages) provides clarity and direction - it makes it easy and fun to explore career alternatives, prepare appropriately, and take action to obtain an international business career that is appropriate for you.
