These two pages are an exceptionally
good introduction to the basics of obtaining an international position.

highlight the skills international employers look for, and suggest
opportunities you might consider pursuing while still in school.

Field - International page provides a number of useful links
as well as detailed information about how to break into a variety
of international fields.
