Working Abroad Finding international internships and entry-level jobs

by Jill N. Lacey Australia. China. Kenya. France. Brazil. For many people, thinking about these distant lands conjures up images of speaking in foreign tongues, eating exotic foods, and listening to music that has a local flair. Different cultures have varied lifestyles that often seem more exciting or glamorous than our own.

Regardless of whether our perceptions of other cultures are real, the allure of experiencing a new culture firsthand entices people to go abroad.

Increasingly, people seek international work to completely immerse themselves in the language and culture of their host country. Working abroad can provide many benefits, such as improving foreign language skills, networking with local employers, and developing flexibility and intercultural understanding. The skills learned abroad can be used later on the job in the United States—and may give some workers an advantage over those who do not have international experience.

But before you pack your bags, there are some issues to consider. You’ll need a passport, identification, and money, of course; depending on where you’re going, you might also need immunizations and travel visas. In addition, most countries require foreign workers to have a valid work visa, and the process of obtaining a visa can be difficult and time consuming. If you want to add an international work experience to your resume, it’s never too early to begin planning. Programs exist for people who are interested in a variety of careers— teaching, agriculture, business, and foreign relations, to name just a few. Many of these programs are open only to current students or recent graduates and can require a lengthy application process. You may also need some time to locate a position on your own and to save enough money to support yourself while working abroad. Carefully identifying a program and planning ahead can make working abroad personally and professionally rewarding.

This article describes some of the programs that help workers start careers in far-off places. It describes types of international work, including student internships and short-term work; U.S. Government work; teaching, agricultural, and au pair positions; and volunteer opportunities. The article also includes tips on navigating a foreign job search and preparing for and financing a trip abroad.

THE BENEFITS OF WORKING ABROAD Glance through most recent headlines, and you’ll see that globalization is a hot topic. The number of U.S. firms expanding abroad and the number of foreign companies operating in the United States have been growing. This global expansion of business is increasing the demand for globally minded employees.

6

As a result, knowledge of international business practices is becoming highly valued in job candidates. Often, the best way to learn these practices is by working abroad, even for a short time.

DECEMBER 13, 2019

PROFESSIONAL BENEFITS Temporary work abroad can provide numerous benefits for people who wish to land a permanent position in the future. The Institute for International Education of Students surveyed alumni from its study abroad programs.

According to those survey results, students were more likely to enter an international career if they had completed an internship while abroad.

Studying in a non-English- speaking country and developing local professional contacts also increased their chances of finding international work in the future.

Working—rather than just studying—abroad helps students apply what they have learned in the classroom to the real world, boosting their qualifications and chances of landing a permanent position. Kristy Green studied in Spain during her senior year of high school, but it was her internship with a Spanish political party during college that cemented her career goals. As an international studies and business major, Green wanted to show that she could apply what she had learned. “Although I had been abroad before, I lacked international work experience,” she says. “With this experience, I expect to be able to get additional internships with international responsibilities during my next 2 years of college and be above average in skill and experience when looking for a job after graduation.”

Even if a permanent international position is not your goal, the skills you learn abroad can be applied to jobs in the United States. Jon Hills hopes that his experience teaching English and working for a translation company in Japan will help him find work in the Japanese financial industry. And that experience, in turn, will make him more marketable as a financial analyst in the United States. “Having a job overseas equivalent to one I would hold in the States is a worthwhile experience that will give me a huge advantage in the U.S. job market,” says Hills.

PERSONAL BENEFITS In addition to professional advantages, there are personal benefits gained by working abroad. Having a temporary job abroad allows you time to explore different career options or to gain new experiences. Some people decide to work abroad between college and graduate school or before beginning a new job. They hope to learn more about themselves and what types of careers they want or to rest and reflect before beginning a new phase in their lives.

Experiencing other cultures is an attraction for most people who decide to work abroad. Living in a new culture provides different perspectives and helps increase the understanding of others. And some see in international work a chance to share with others who do not have the high standard of living enjoyed in the United States.

Dave Says

BY DAV E R A M S E Y

Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money & business. He has authored five New York Times best-selling books, including The Total Money Makeover. The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 8.5 million listeners each week on more than 550 radio stations.

Follow Dave on Twitter at @DaveRamsey & on the web at daveramsey.com.

WHY NOT BUDGET AND SAVE? Dear Dave, I’ve never heard you talk about store layaway programs. With Christmas coming, I wanted to ask your opinion of using layaway for buying gifts.

Meg Dear Meg, If you know me, you probably have a good idea what’s coming next. I’m not a huge fan of layaway programs, because they’re not the answer to a problem. I mean, Christmas comes at the same time every year. It’s not like it snuck up on you. What’s wrong with just saving up money for Christmas ahead of time?

Here’s a good rule of thumb: if you don’t have the money on hand, you can’t afford it. Now, sometimes there are instances when certain popular items are on sale, and you can take advantage of them through layaway if you don’t have enough cash at that very moment. I don’t have a huge problem with this sort of thing, as long as it’s not habitual behavior, and you’re already saving money and living on a budget. Still, I would never, ever recommend using a layaway plan with fees attached.

It may be too late to budget for this Christmas, but I want you to make plans to start living on a written, monthly budget in January. Make it a resolution! Give every dollar a name, on paper, before the upcoming month begins. You can include Christmas spending in those monthly budgets, too. If you set aside a little bit each month from January until next December, you won’t have to worry about layaways or Christmas debt.

Remember, Christmas is about God and it’s about love. There are many, many ways to bless people and make them happy without overextending yourself financially!

—Dave

Christmas can be one of the most enjoyable times of the year but at the same time failing to prepare for Christmas can result in unwanted stressful situations and arguments with your loved ones. I've always found the best way of avoiding this stress is to plan ahead and get everything sorted out as soon as possible. So here are my top tips to make the Christmas season go smoothly.

1. GET YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDS EARLY It is worth getting your Christmas cards around October/November time so you have plenty of time to write and send them out to your family and friends.

It is a good idea to produce a list of all the people you will be sending Christmas cards to along with their contact details, this will allow you to work out how many Christmas cards you need to get as well as helping you to keep track of who you've sent

Continued from page 21 Christmas cards to. If you don't have time to go shopping for Christmas cards on the high street, why not shop online. I prefer to buy charity Christmas cards each year and get mine from the site in my resouce box below.

GENERAL

North Houston Spring- Guest Service Representative

Guest Service Representative Who We Are:

We have a strong, team-based culture where

2. BUDGET FOR CHRISTMAS Work out how much you can afford to spend at Christmas. There is a lot to take into consideration Christmas cards, presents, food and drink and all the other little things you need for Christmas. Work out a budget that you are prepared to spend and perhaps work out how much of your spare cash you could save in the run up to Christmas.

3. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING The last thing you want at Christmas is to be walking round a packed high street, desperately searching for the perfect Christmas gift. Get out there early and start looking/buying Christmas presents over a long period of time. If you hate the high street then get on the internet and get all those gifts delivered straight to your door, just make sure you place your orders before the last Christmas post.

4. CHRISTMAS DINNER Whatever you are planning to cook for Christmas it can one of the most stressful times of the Christmas holiday. Once again preparation is the key. Prepare as much of the food as possible on Christmas Eve so you have it all ready for the big day. Find out from your dinner guests if they have any special requirements (Vegetarian, Allergies) so you don't have any nasty surprises. There is also the option of avoiding cooking all together and eating out. If you're planning on doing this make sure you book a few months in advance to avoid disappointment.

5. RELATIONSHIPS

28

At Christmas you can often find yourself stuck at a dinner table with family members that seem to love to argue and complain. The best thing for this is to try and avoid those topics that can trigger difficult conversations. It is always best to try and stay calm and you can always remove yourself from these situations. If you find that something like alcohol fuels these situations then it maybe best to either limit the alcohol available or just avoid it all together.

I hope these tips help you have an enjoyable Christmas and remember to plan ahead and stay calm.

Continued from page 6 A WORLD OF WORK: OPTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL JOBS The first step to working abroad is to identify programs that match your interests.

Programs can differ in their location, the assistance they offer, their costs, and more. So, it is important to research each program thoroughly before making substantial time and financial commitments.

When exploring programs, consider the following criteria: • Professional focus. There are programs that provide opportunities in nearly all professional disciplines. These programs can provide insight into what it’s really like to work in certain career fields.

• Location of program. Programs exist in countries on every continent.

A program’s location can affect your satisfaction with your experience.

Usually, people choose locations based on which languages they wish to learn or which countries they wish to visit. Other considerations include the country’s standard of living and climate and whether the job is located in a big city or a small village.

• Degree of cultural immersion. Exposure to local culture also varies among programs. Overseas interns who work for the U.S. Government usually work in embassies, mostly interacting with American workers; in contrast, au pairs live with local families and interact mostly with residents of the host country.

• Degree of pre-trip job placement. Some programs only issue work visas and provide minimal assistance for locating employment and housing.

In these programs, you are responsible for finding your own job and accommodations. Other programs arrange specific jobs and housing, based on your interests and needs.

• Duration of program. Programs vary in length, from several weeks to several years.

When narrowing your list of programs, learn about the qualifications required.

Most programs have age or other restrictions. Others may have coursework or professional requirements. Some programs also require a specific level of language proficiency. Nearly all require a formal application, often due months in advance.

PRIVATE-SECTOR INTERNSHIPS AND OTHER SHORT-TERM WORK As the world becomes more integrated, the number of students choosing to intern abroad is growing. According to the Institute of International Education’s 2005 Open Doors Survey, the number of students completing study abroad internships for college credit grew by 44 percent between 1999-2000 and 2003-04. Pursuing these internships or other international work can be a first step to starting an international career.

International internships are available in almost any industry and with any type of employer. Internships can be paid or unpaid, depending on the industry and type of visa issued, and vary in length from 1 summer to 1 year. Organizations that partner with foreign governments grant temporary work visas to American citizens. Work visas usually are also available through foreign embassies if people have arranged an internship beforehand with an international employer. But because organizations are familiar with the visa application process, working with them can save time and frustration.

The three main options for short-term international work are study abroad internships, internship placement organizations, and student work-visa programs.

Study abroad internships. An increasing number of study abroad programs offer internships as part of their course offerings. Although these internships are usually unpaid, interns receive academic credit. For the duration of the internship, participants usually meet with an internship coordinator or mentor to discuss their work and progress.

Study abroad internships are available in many academic areas of interest and may be the easiest way to find work in the more competitive areas such as the arts, journalism, and marketing. Sometimes, applicants for study abroad internships must have a minimum grade point average.

Usually, study abroad programs have well-established contacts with local employers and access to internships that are unavailable to general applicants.

Prior to arrival in the country, the program tries to match the applicant with a local employer. Once in the country, most applicants interview for their potential internship before starting work.

42

DECEMBER 13, 2019

Students should check with the study abroad office of their college or university to find out if they can receive academic credit for participating in a given study abroad program. Usually, there is no separate application or participation fee for a program’s internships.

Internship placement organizations. Numerous nonprofit organizations match college students or recent graduates with an international internship in their field of study. Most internships are for a semester or a year; some are paid.

Even though these internships are not formal study abroad programs, some U.S. colleges and universities grant academic credit upon completion. Some placement organizations specialize in internships for particular career fields—engineering, business, or the sciences, for example. Most placement organizations also secure student work visas, even if the applicant did not find an internship through them.

Internship placement organizations usually charge a fee for their services.

Student work-visa programs. Many students find their own internships or jobs rather than going through a school or internship program, and part of that process is getting permission to work. Employers can often sponsor work visas if they can prove that you have knowledge and skills that local workers don’t.

Finding an employer willing to put forth the effort to sponsor you takes patience and perseverance, especially if you do not have previous international work experience.

But in some countries, you don’t need a prearranged internship to apply for a temporary work visa and to move abroad. A few organizations specialize in arranging for work visas, leaving students on their own to find employment and housing; some of these agencies also offer help with the initial job search.

Students may choose to find employment once they arrive in their host country.

This is a good option for people who have the initiative to find their own internships or for those who want to earn some spending money while they are traveling abroad. As is the case in the United States, there are many opportunities abroad for collegeaged students willing to work in service jobs, such as in restaurants, resorts, or retail stores.

Temporary work visas for U.S. citizens are issued only by a handful of countries, albeit some of the more popular destinations. The duration of the visa varies by country. For example, temporary visas are offered by Australia (4-month visa), Canada (5-month visa), Ireland (4-month visa), New Zealand (12-month visa), and the United Kingdom (6-month visa). In most cases, it is possible to obtain visas for both Ireland and the United Kingdom, or Australia and New Zealand, to maximize time spent working abroad.

Temporary visas allow you to work in any paid job—except one in professional sports or entertainment— in the country of issuance for the duration of the visa.

Visa holders are able to change jobs as many times as they wish before the visa expires. Generally, applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents aged 18 to 30. Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom also require applicants to be fulltime college students or recent graduates who obtained their degree less than one semester prior to obtaining the visa. Contact a country’s embassy to learn more about work-visa requirements.

TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE Teaching English abroad is one of the main avenues to finding an international position. Demand for teachers is strongest in the emerging markets of Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe, but opportunities exist in most countries. Teaching positions exist in the elementary-school through university levels and can be either part time or full time.

Like instructors anywhere, English teachers working abroad are responsible for developing lesson plans, instructing multiple classes, and evaluating students.

Most positions have either semester or annual contracts. Pay depends on experience, although the salary usually covers little more than living expenses.

Some employment programs might also provide a housing stipend and end-ofcontract airfare back to the United States.

For most jobs, a U.S. teaching license or teaching experience is not usually required. Most positions also do not require teachers to have knowledge of the local language. In fact, most teachers study the local language on their own while teaching English. The minimum requirements often include expert-level fluency

VOL. 24 ISSUE 1221

in English and a bachelor’s degree in any subject. Positions in colleges and universities might require a master’s degree in teaching or linguistics.

Most employers also require completion of a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification prior to beginning the assignment. Certification courses educate participants on the most effective methods of teaching English. Courses often include practical teaching experience in classrooms.

Courses are taught online and in U.S. community colleges, universities, and private language schools. The quality of certification programs can vary, so investigate any program before you start. Some employers also accept or require other foreign language teaching credentials, such as Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) certificates.

Some international employment programs offer certification courses to their participants and include the cost in program fees. Programs also frequently provide a 2- to 3-week orientation in the host country to help participants assimilate into the country and learn the basics of teaching.

English teaching positions abroad are available with programs sponsored by foreign governments, with nonprofit teaching organizations, and in private language schools.

Government-sponsored programs. A few foreign governments sponsor programs for citizens of English speaking countries to teach in their country.

Participants usually need some knowledge of the local language and some interest in the host country. Compared with programs sponsored by nonprofits, government programs are more competitive. Generally, there is no application or program fee, and teaching contracts are for 1 year.

Nonprofit organizations. Numerous organizations place teachers in positions abroad. These placements usually do not require teachers to have previous experience. Positions are usually for a summer, for a semester, or for a year.

Some placement organizations are countryspecific; others place teachers in a variety of countries. Many placement organizations charge program fees to cover the cost of predeparture assistance, orientation materials, and support from local contacts. Sometimes, fees also cover airfare, housing, and health insurance.

Private language schools. One way to find an English teaching position abroad is to apply directly to language schools. Schools often have recruiting offices in the United States or use U.S.-based placement agencies to fill positions.

Because requirements at private language schools are rigorous, these schools prefer to hire people who already have some experience teaching English.

Many job openings for teaching positions in private language schools are advertised online.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR LICENSED TEACHERS Opportunities abound for qualified teachers to work abroad. Teaching positions abroad, and their qualification requirements, are similar to those for equivalent U.S. teaching slots. To obtain these international teaching positions, applicants usually need a valid U.S. teaching license and several years of teaching experience. Teaching contracts are usually full time and last 1 to 2 years.

Teachers of all subjects and grade levels can find international opportunities.

The four main sources of international work for experienced teachers are the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program, nonprofit organizations, private international schools, and the U.S. Department of Defense schools.

Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program. This exchange program, administered by the U.S. Department of State, allows a one-for-one exchange between an American and a foreign teacher. The two teachers are partnered by subject area and level of instruction. They each teach for 1 year in the partner’s school. Teachers also usually swap housing or assist their partner in locating alternative housing. The teachers’ home school districts continue to pay their salary and benefits.

The program is open to all educators—including special education teachers, administrators, school counselors, and librarians—who have at least 3 years of teaching experience. However, opportunities in various subjects are not always available in every participating country. Every year, about 30 countries take

VOL. 24 ISSUE 1221

part in the exchange, with country participants changing every year. Nonprofit organizations. Some nonprofit organizations recruit qualified teachers of all subjects and grade levels for placement throughout the world. In addition, some nonprofits recruit and place education administrators and university professors. Along with teaching classes, participants may help develop a new curriculum for the school or train local teachers in their area of expertise.

Private international schools. These are English-speaking schools that instruct the children of diplomats, missionaries, foreign-aid workers, businesspeople, and other expatriates. Because there are American expatriates all over the world, opportunities to teach in these schools exist in almost every country.

Compensation usually includes housing and moving expenses. Competition for openings in these schools can be intense. Most positions require some international experience, knowledge of a foreign language, and at least 2 years of teaching experience. Jobseekers often go through recruiting agencies that place teachers in foreign countries. These agencies usually screen applicants and refer the best qualified ones to schools. Some international schools recruit directly at U.S. job fairs for teachers.

U.S. Department of Defense schools. The Department of Defense Education Activity operates primary and secondary schools for the dependents of military personnel stationed throughout the world. Currently, there are schools in 13 countries and the U.S. territories of Guam and Puerto Rico.

Most teachers receive housing on the military bases or stipends for local accommodations. Because teachers instruct American students on the bases, contact with locals might be limited. Applicants for these jobs are not usually required to have skill in a foreign language.

AU PAIR PLACEMENT PROGRAMS Many young men and women choose to work abroad as au pairs. Au pairs work in private homes, providing childcare and performing basic housework.

Most au pair opportunities are in Europe and South America. Employment contracts can last from a few months to a few years.

Because au pairs live with a host family and communicate mainly in the local language, this is among the best ways to become fluent in another language.

Working as an au pair can also be a valuable experience for those who plan to have a career in childcare, teaching, counseling, or psychology.

Au pairs provide live-in childcare to their host families and can be responsible for directing children’s activities, taking them to and from school, assisting with their homework, and teaching them English. Au pairs usually perform household duties associated with the children, such as cooking their meals and doing their laundry.

In exchange, host families provide au pairs with room and board and a small stipend to cover personal expenses. Au pairs usually receive 1 or 2 days off per week, in addition to national holidays. Most au pairs must be between the ages of 18 and 30 to qualify for placement. Most also need experience supervising children; this experience may come from working as a babysitter, a sports coach, a lifeguard, or a camp counselor. Some agencies also perform background checks on applicants and require applicants to have an international driver’s license.

Au pairs usually find employment through a reputable placement agency.

The International Au Pair Association accredits agencies that maintain strict screening processes for both au pairs and host families. These agencies provide detailed work contracts that outline the compensation, duration of the assignment, number of work hours expected, and number of days off per week.

Reputable agencies also offer to place the au pair with a new family if the first placement does not work out. Agencies will also arrange work visas, assist with transportation, and provide orientation materials about the host country. Most agencies charge a registration fee for finding placements.

Experts caution against au pairs placing their own advertisements or answering employment ads not placed by reputable agencies. Without proper screening of families, it can be difficult to know the quality of the working environment before you arrive. And once in the country, it can be difficult to find other employment or to get out of an undesirable situation.

FINDING THE FUNDS

In many countries, employers usually pay salaries only once a month, so you need to plan ahead. A rule of thumb is to make sure you have enough money to cover your living expenses for several months.

As part of your preparations for going abroad, research the cost of living in the places that interest you. Then, save accordingly. Most programs give you an estimate of how much money you should take with you. Some programs even require that you take a minimum amount to cover expenses. For example, the British Universities of North America work-visa program requires participants to bring a minimum of $2,000 to work in the United Kingdom.

Some programs require participants to pay fees of several thousand dollars. What these fees cover varies by program. A portion of the program fees paid to nonprofit organizations is tax deductible.

If you are participating in an internship that is part of a study abroad program, you might be able to apply scholarships and financial aid toward your experience. Check with your school’s financial aid office for eligibility rules.

Other sources of scholarship or alternative funding may be available.

For example, community and religious organizations might provide scholarships or grants to students going abroad. Some of these funds are targeted toward students studying a particular subject or language or in a particular country. Local chambers of commerce often list organizations that offer funding.

Finally, for those interested in teaching or volunteering abroad, especially in developing nations, fundraising may be a viable option.

People might contribute toward your participation fees if they believe you will provide a needed service.

Keeping an open mind is important, as is learning to adapt to a new culture. Most people who have been abroad agree that the experience increased their confidence in their ability to overcome adversity.

Most also agree that integrating yourself into another culture is personally rewarding. Green says that during her internship, she felt she was living the life of a Spaniard—and got an ego boost when locals thought she was Spanish. “I picked up the local accent and colloquialisms,” she says, “and most people I talked to were surprised when I told them I’m American. They thought I grew up there, and there’s no better feeling than that!”

Living in another culture can also make you aware of your misconceptions. Being a foreigner in Japan is sometimes difficult for Hills, who says that being an outsider becomes your identity whether you like it or not. “Everything is more difficult in a foreign language,” he says. “Whenever I go out, there are usually two to three people staring at me because I am different.” Because of his experiences, Hills has resolved to be more patient and sympathetic to foreigners he meets in the United States.

WOULD THEY WORK ABROAD AGAIN? The best source of advice on what it’s really like to work abroad is other Americans who have done it. Consider contacting former participants in your chosen program to learn about their experiences and to garner advice. The majority will probably tell you that they would do it all over again, if given the opportunity. They might tell you that their experiences were not what they expected but that they returned to the United States better prepared for their future.

Experience NO Nec essary!

o r e H EVERY DAY

Working abroad can be an expensive venture, even if you find a paying job. Most programs advise that you choose to go abroad for the experience, rather than for earning money to save. Salaries for entrylevel workers are often just enough to cover living expenses.
