In this time you can collect a lot of useful information that will help you choose your target country. Equally important tasks include making contacts in the target country, improving your language skills, and saving money. Begin with the region that interests you, then narrow down the countries by available opportunities. You can glean macro-economic information from the international sections of periodicals like Business Week and the Wall Street Journal. As with all secondary research, your web browser and local librarian are your best friends.

The Search From Home Interestingly enough, you use the same tools and strategies in an international job search that you would use in a regular job search, the most of important of which is getting the word of your interest out through your personal contacts. Let's say you've picked Seoul, South Korea as your prospective destination. If that person doesn't feel responsible for giving you the job, the meeting will probably be more productive. Internships Real jobs, including jobs abroad, frequently start with internships. One frequently tried avenue to overseas employment is to look up companies that have operations in the target country and send resumes to their personnel departments.
