ABOUT
FOREIGN EMPLOYMENT
When
contemplating overseas employment, take the time to research the offer
carefully. Make certain of the financial
condition of your prospective employer.
PERSONAL
SAFETY. The U. S. Department of
State (http://www.state.gov/)
publishes advice on
Crisis Awareness and Preparedness, Travel Warnings, Emergencies Abroad,
Passports, Visas and more. Links are
provided to the home pages of US Embassies and consulates throughout
the world,
offering the most up-to-date possible information on conditions at the
location
you’re considering.
SALARIES.
While salaries often appear very low
when
translated into American dollars, remember that foreign costs of living
are
also frequently low. (For example, we
are told that recently a Rangoon, Myanmar [Burma] pedicab driver who
received a
$100 tip bought a home with the money.)
On the Web, you can get an exchange rate quote on any currency
at any
time from http://www.exchangerate.com/.
