Information on International Work
Experiencing another country is exciting and enriching, however, getting there is not always easy. International jobs can be harder to obtain, and the application process varies from country to country. If you are looking to live and work in another country, be sure to research each country's culturally idiosyncratic differences (for instance, European resumes are called curriculum vitae, and cover letters are usually hand-written in Spain, Italy and France).
The University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan, and Dickinson College have collected resources into excellent websites for conducting your international job hunt.
