It is time to stop wishing and hoping to have a global career. It is time you got the international exposure that you want. Shane has worked in various roles globally and lived in a number of countries, all without an expensive degree or connections.

This directory lists resources and websites that will help you find an international role and successfully integrate in your new country. It is compiled over a ten-year period. There are employment and immigration consultants that charge hundreds and even thousands of dollars for this information. This book is a steal compared to the fees that you need to pay an immigration consultant or employment agency for the same advice.
