    How to get an overseas contract?

    Hello,

    Do you have any ideas or tips on how to get an overseas contract? Or links to specialist recruitment agencies?

    I would go almost anywhere in the world for a year or two, just for the life experience and chance to explore a different culture. But places that spring to mind: New York, anywhere in Holland, Scandinavia, South Africa, anywhere..

    I live in London and am just about sick of it, and no amount of Boris is going to change that!

    Any ideas on good agencies to contact? Thanks

    Go to monster.co.uk.

    Put your CV on it and state what languages you speak, what passport you have and what countries you want to work in.

      Tangent International - they'll get you a nice gig somewhere dangerous. Tanzania or somewhere. Get your own machete.

      MSB used to be good, don't know about now. Triage also.

          And they never expelled the Asians, unlike neighbouring countries, so you can get all the things that Asians do well, down to a hairdresser that can do straight hair!

              Try Europe, no difficult paperwork or visas.

              It could be as easy as becoming English Language Teacher.

                  .
                  Not if you don't have an EU or EEA passport.
