Working Abroad : The Complete Guide to Overseas Employment

Whatever the reason and length of visit, moving overseas is not just about deciding what to take. Fully revised and updated, this new edition of ‘Working Abroad’ covers all the major considerations that need to be taken into account, such as: the overseas job market; terms and conditions of employment; taxation systems; arranging finances; accidents and medical matters; international education; and returning home. For more than two decades, ‘Working Abroad’ has alerted fledgling expats to the pros and cons of overseas employment.

In-depth profiles of forty countries spanning the European Union, leading EU accession states, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australasia, provide insights into living and working conditions.
