Ever dreamed of working around the world? Many people fantasize but when push comes to shove, most are stay-at-homes and travel is part of vacation. But if you have skills, international work is not as difficult as some make it sound. If you have itchy feet, you will get a chance to not just look at other cultures as a tourist, but participate in them as a co-worker and that is vastly different. This type of experience is like winning a new set of eyes and you'll never see the world in the same way again. If you have kids, the experience will be a permanent reservoir of ideas and experiences that will never leave them. And with an international salary, return travel paid and the possibilities of a living allowance and even subsidized education for the kids, it is often a financial bonanza. If quality of education for children is a concern, you'll find the international schools in many countries have standards and expectations well beyond your local school and with the International Baccalaureate and other standards, the grades will be recognized when they come home.

What Career is Best for You
One moment, you are absolutely and forever convinced that you want to be your country's first woman president. The next moment, a fog creeps in and the certainty leaks away like water in your hand. Fear?.... perhaps. Or a lack of self-confidence? Or maybe, just pure ignorance in not knowing the choices you might have and you shift into limbo. Ke garne as the Nepalis would say. What to do? ….READ ON |

Turbo Charge your Performance
Surprise yourself at how much you can really do. We only get a high when we are totally engaged and performing at the edge of our personal envelope. Fluffing around and shuffling papers or waiting for the boss' orders do not make for a happy you. You can almost hear the self respect going down the gurgler. Talk about a lose-lose situation. And it does NOT have to be this way. ...READ ON |

Your Cover Letter...Your Brand
If you think the cover letter is just a last splash of aftershave before the dance...you are wrong. It can be the grabber...the first impression...the flash that sets your submission or CV off from the herd. And when the competition is stiff and there are thousands of resumes sent, especially in job or grant applications or bids, you must craft your cover letter with the care of an artist...READ ON |
