Work Overseas
More than 800,000 Australians work overseas, according to the
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Even more are likely
to do so, as globalisation increases the number of
cross-cultural work opportunities around the world.
Time spent in another country can be the most rewarding time
of your life. Immersed in a foreign culture, you work
alongside people with different attitudes to employment and
different ways to communicate and solve problems.
Whether you go as an English teacher to Japan, an IT
consultant to London, a fitter and turner to Antarctica or a
human resources director to Argentina, you’ll be stimulated
by a new environment and challenged by cultural contrasts.
If you are seriously looking for work overseas, or just
considering the practicalities of travelling and working,
