Have you ever wondered how you could build up a career of your own while following your partner abroad?

You'll find a lot of comprehensive advice, real-life stories, ideas, checklists and hands-on exercises to get you stared. No matter how old you are, if you live as a couple or have children, no matter if you have always dreamed of a career of your own or if you are following your partner abroad looking for something to do, this wonderful, inspiring book should go into your suitcase!

A Career in Your Suitcase,
By
This review is from: A Career in Your Suitcase: The Expat and Trailing Spouse's Guide to a Career on the Move (Paperback)
"Do you want to find work that is based on what you most love to do, that fits your dreams, your lifestyle and your needs, and that works wherever you find yourself living?"
So begins A Career in Your Suitcase, Jo Parfitt's insightful and comprehensive `how-to' guide on building what she calls a "portable career." According to the innumerable surveys that come out on overseas living each year, there are millions of people around the world who would love to move abroad in search of a climate and lifestyle more suited to their sensibilities. Yet the overwhelming majority never actually do it. And for many the biggest hurdle holding them back is "what would I do? How am I going to earn a living in my dream location?" If this is you then A Career in Your Suitcase will offer you a wealth of information and advice on what work opportunities exist, how to find them and, most importantly, how to create a career that matches the lifestyle you want. And a portable career isn't just for expatriates. Rather, the clear guidance offered by A Career in Your Suitcase is just as applicable to anyone who wants to find work that finally matches their values and aspirations. As Parfitt notes, the concept of A Career in Your Suitcase "... speaks directly to anyone, anywhere, who has ever wanted to discover, once and for all, what they really really want to do for a living and how to turn that dream into reality." So isn't it worth pursuing your dreams? Because if you don't, how are they ever going to come true?
