More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"The authors draw on their vast global experience to give suggestions for dealing with the transition challenges that can so easily overwhelm both the new and the veteran traveller. The information in this book lets the reader follow one of the authors' most fundamental adjustment suggestions: 'Talk to people in a position to know.' These authors know." Terri L Williams, Vice President, Association of American Foreign Service Worldwide,
Product Description
The cost to businesses of ill-prepared employees moving overseas can be measured in the millions of dollars - lost man hours, wasted training and high overhead. For the expatriate-to-be, everything you need is here: advice and sound, practical knowledge on preparing, moving, getting settled in, and adjusting to the new culture. The authors' optimism and common sense come from their multiple international moves and more than 30 years experience living and working overseas. The authors provide essential tools to make each expatiate an expert at surviving in his or her new culture. This book is a must for anyone who is planning to live and work overseas - single, married, employee or spouse, with or without children; relocation specialists who assist clients in making that transition and human resource personnel responsible for international assignments.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-have on any expatriate's bookshelf,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Expert Expatriate: Your Guide to Successful Relocation Abroad; Moving, Living, Thriving (Paperback)
A must-have on the bookshelf of any future or current expatriate. With wisdom, insight, experience, and brimming with optimism, it covers all the bases from the practical to the emotional of moving and thriving abroad. You can't go wrong as this "Dr. Spock for Expatriates" steers you through all the important decisions you will need to make and helps you consider things you might otherwise overlook. I especially liked the sections on children, culture shock, and spouses. One feature of this book that I particularly enjoyed was that it was loaded with relevant anecdotes from expatriates from all over the world living in all sorts of countries.

Basic Guide,
This review is from: The Expert Expat: Your Guide to Successful Relocation Abroad (Paperback)
This book is very basic and general, so would only be helpful if you are quite open to where you may re-locate to. It didn't really tell me anything I didn't all ready know, so I'd save your money and buy an area specific book from the Explorer range.

Packed With Knowledge!,

This review is from: The Expert Expatriate: Your Guide to Successful Relocation Abroad; Moving, Living, Thriving (Paperback)
Melissa Brayer Hess and Patricia Linderman's indispensable book covers all the practical aspects of adjusting to life in a foreign country. They pay particular attention to factors that can help or hinder an expatriot's adjustment. Every chapter includes short, personal sidebars recounting the experiences of those who've lived and worked abroad, an addition which brings the book to life with insightful, useful and often hilarious detail. We recommend this book to anyone who is considering relocation to another country. To be at home anywhere on the globe, supplement it with a couple of books about the specific country where you are going. Pay attention to the advice about planning ahead, then get your shots, tuck your passport in your pocket and head for the airport. (Don't forget to pack this book; you may need it for re-entry.)
