Working abroad
Discussion
At the end of this year I will be finishing my marketing apprenticeship, I am studying for a degree online and have done my A-Levels etc. All I need to study for my degree is an internet connection as there is no examinations in the traditional sense in a exam hall until year 2. So, how easy is it to find a job abroad? even if just for a period of 3-6 months. My degree is Business and Accounting and my only proper work experience is this marketing apprenticeship.

Her joining you may help socially but it won't help you as far as work goes. If you just want to be abroad rather than do something career specific you can easily get a job in a low level, tourist facing position with English only. Think barman, handing out flyers, etc etc

English only will not limit the countries you may work in; but possibly the environment to multinational companies on an academic level where the offices speak the local language and always English. That said, you may want to apply for an apprenticeship/placement, where your chances rise, if they don't need to fear to pay for your relocation. We've been taking on Brazilian Students for the German office; but they always have top marks and an interesting CV (for their age). Think of something to sell yourself - wanting to work abroad is the first step!
Since you have the best part of a year in which to learn a language, I suggest you target "abroad" a little more tightly and choose a language to suit the country you want to work in. Bear in mind that it's very easy to work in the EU, but harder to work outside it due to visa regulations.
depends what you want to do. i'm in myanmar at the moment working on an engineering installation and the PM for the shipping company is only 23. he's british, studied at newcastle and then worked in marketing for a year before applying for pretty much anything based in singapore.
i'd def. recommend getting out as early as possible and forging a career abroad. your 20s are your best years, wish i;d spent mine working/adventuring/travelling the world. feels like i've come late to the party and i'm only just 34.

PM at 23? been out of Uni for what?, 2 years?? i'd def. recommend getting out as early as possible and forging a career abroad. your 20s are your best years, wish i;d spent mine working/adventuring/travelling the world. feels like i've come late to the party and i'm only just 34.
