Chock full of useful info

Transitions Abroad magazine has seemingly always been the go-to resource for students, volunteers, and working travelers itching to get up and go. This book is a great resource for doing so in an informed and successful manner. No organization does a better job at compiling the best resources and they've tapped several experts from their stable of writers to give the low-down on specific areas.While English teachers may require a more focused guide, the book does provide a good overview and plenty of relevant web sites to explore for more information in that area. For anyone wishing to travel and make a living at the same time, the purchase of this book is money very well spent. After all, if you land a job after using the guide, it'll pay for itself on day one.Tim Leffelauthor, The World's Cheapest Destinations

Excellent resource item

(Planeta.com Journal) - This book assists those beginning an international career. This second edition combines contacts a and insights that pierce the mystery of finding work abroad. Chapters cover international careers, short-term jobs, internships, volunteering and teaching. This is an excellent resource and I only wish I had found it earlier!

Found a job in a week.

Thanks to this book and despite me having no teaching experience or certification, I found a job within a week. This book is concise and contains many links to websites I could not find on my own. The job I received is in Mexico and they are paying for my plane tickets and rent when I get there, along with a nice salary. I am very pleased. If you want a job then I would suggest you look here first.

It is a book that inspires as well as informs, that succeeds as literature as well as a guide. This book is filled with facts, information, arresting ideas and practical guidelines. This book is sure to strike a chord with many present and prospective International job seekers. I join the chorus to say, "Another books don't get any better than this."
