More than 800,000 Australians work overseas, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Even more are likely to do so, as globalisation increases the number of cross-cultural work opportunities around the world.

Time spent in another country can be the most rewarding time of your life. Immersed in a foreign culture, you work alongside people with different attitudes to employment and different ways to communicate and solve problems.

Whether you go as an English teacher to Japan, an IT consultant to London, a fitter and turner to Antarctica or a human resources director to Argentina, you’ll be stimulated by a new environment and challenged by cultural contrasts.
