Try the following websites [all open in new windows]:
Multinational organisations
The United Nations (UN) [opens in new window] and its associated agencies advertise for staff to work wherever and whenever they are needed.
Major newspapers like the Weekend Australian, the Age and the Sydney Morning Herald regularly advertise overseas postings. You can also explore the employment sections of international newspapers at your local or state library.
Employment websites
There are a number of employment websites, including some fee-for-service ones, that list jobs available overseas.
Multinational companies
Multinational companies with offices or branches in Australia are a good source of international employment opportunities. Working at the Australian office, you could be given the chance to relocate to an international office.
Such companies include hotel chains, information technology firms, mining corporations and media groups.
In most cases you will be expected to work in your local office for some time before you will be offered a transfer overseas. But sometimes employers need someone to move overseas immediately.
Visit the websites of companies you are interested in to identify what types of vacancies come up in their overseas offices. Most company sites have recruitment information and vacancy listings.
