Presenter: Jill N. Lacey Economist, Division of Labor Force Statistics, BLS, U.S. Department of Labor	Topic: Finding Global Employment Opportunities & International Studies Australia. China. Kenya. France. Brazil. For many people, thinking about these distant lands conjures up images of speaking in foreign tongues, eating exotic foods, and listening to music that has a local flair. Different cultures have varied lifestyles that often seem more exciting or glamorous than our own. Regardless of whether our perceptions of other cultures are real, the allure of experiencing a new culture firsthand entices people to go abroad. Increasingly, people seek international work to completely immerse themselves in the language and culture of their host country. Working abroad can provide many benefits, such as improving foreign language skills, networking with local employers, and developing flexibility and intercultural understanding. The skills learned abroad can be used later on the job in the United States—and may give some workers an advantage over those who do not have international experience. But before you pack your bags, there are some issues to consider. You’ll need a passport, identification, and money, of course; depending on where you’re going, you might also need immunizations and travel visas. In addition, most countries require foreign workers to have a valid work visa, and the process of obtaining a visa can be difficult and time consuming. Hear from Jill Lacey on global employment opportunities, the benefits of working abroad, building global resumes, successful interviewing tips and much more.
