Some
of the Best of the Web
Many career centers have some sort of
“international opportunities” web page, usually linking to a
few other articles or job search pages elsewhere on the web. Here are
a few of the pages we’ve found to be the most substantial and most
useful. If you have your own favorite site, email
us - and be sure to tell us why it’s so good.
The Big
Sites
Compiled by Go Global!
These sites have earned good reputations
for the breadth and currency of their listings, functionality, and a
host of other features. We recommend that you take a little bit of time
with each and then frequent those sites that best serve your personal
career interests and goals.
Exploring
your Options
Compiled by Go Global!
Some of the best pages are the ones
you’d only think to visit when you are just starting your exploration.
These pages give an overview of the entire international job search
process, strategy, information on the job market in particular sectors
and/or regions, etc. Despite the “introductory” character
of these pages, the links on our Exploring
your Options page will take you to some of the best informational
sites on the web. What you learn
from them may tip the balance in your favor during the hard-fought job
search.
GlobalEdge
Center for International Business Education and Research at Michigan
State University
From the website: “a knowledge
web-portal that connects international business professionals worldwide
to a wealth of information, insights, and learning resources on global
business activities.” While the site focuses on business-related
issues it has an extensive library of links, including some of the best
Country
Insight pages with information and annotated links to resources
for every country, accessible from the site’s Resource
Desk.
Work
Abroad
Overseas Opportunities Office, University of Michigan
One of the excellent overview sites
on the internet, it gives an organized, well-annotated tour of the process
of gaining employment abroad. Though a number of links are no longer
operative, it is one of the best overall sites for reminding us of the
complexity of the process and linking us to useful and relevant sites.
