I want a Career Overseas
Anyone have any ideas/experience of getting a career overseas?
I'm getting anxious to leave the States again but want to keep gaining experience in the work force.
Any advice/websites/book reccomendations are welcomed

If you are talking an EU country. Temp residency permits are a bitch, but doable if you are serious and ready to do the paperwork. If you have a relative in another country, its much easier. Good luck

Thanks guys.
I have experience in Marketing Communications, which I feel may be a disadvantage since it's not that specialized.
I would love to work over in Europe, anywhere I can find a good opportunity, UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Switzerland....

You should consult with a immigration lawyer. You'd be amazed at the number of them that specialize in Americans trying to relocate to the EU. And you will find a lot of them living in the country you want to move to. It all comes down to your willingness to go through the redtape and the time consuming process of it.

Do you think it's best to talk to an immigration lawyer in the US or in the country I want to live/work in?
