How to get an international job?
The basic idea: Zero in on your chosen field, then seek out global
employers.

The idea that overseas jobs with American companies are plentiful is a
myth. Most American companies hire locally, in whatever countries they
operate in, for entry-level jobs and send only a few Americans abroad,
mostly in management positions. One huge global company that recruits
at U. of Texas, for instance, has more than 275,000 employees; only
about 300 of them are Americans working overseas.

That's not to say that you should give up on finding an international
career -- only that you need to approach it realistically. you first
need to decide what you want to do. Then find a way to do this
internationally. In general, being fluent in several languages is very
important but may not be as big a factor as you might think. The most
important issue: You need to bring strong work-related skills that
enable you to do the job.

There are a few pockets of opportunity in almost any business you can
name: In retailing for instance, some buyers travel extensively in
Europe and Asia. In advertising, you can specialize in crafting ad
campaigns for overseas clients. In management consulting, there are
jobs that require you to work on international projects. Once you have
figured out what kind of work you're interested in, you can begin to
get some experience. Then focus on finding ways to do it
internationally.

Your best bet is to move to a city with lots of overseas connections,
if you don't already live in one. New York City is number one in this
regard, but Miami, Philadelphia, and Chicago offer plenty of
opportunities in shipping, banking, consulting, and other global
businesses, Brooks says. San Francisco and Los Angeles serve as major
U.S. hubs for companies with dealings in Asia and the Pacific Rim.

Anne Fischer in an article published in Fortune (July 17, 2007):

How to beat a backstabber at work
That said, do emphasize to potential employers that learning a foreign
language thoroughly is really about developing an understanding for a
whole unfamiliar culture. "What you want to convey is that learning
these languages opened you up to fresh perspectives, so that you have
an ability to look at things in a different way," says Brooks,
director of liberal arts career services at the University of Texas at
Austin.

As for leveraging all that globe-trotting you've done, Brooks says,
don't present your extensive overseas travel as just a series of
vacations. "When students come back from a junior year abroad or a
foreign internship, I always ask them, 'Okay, who has a disaster
story?'," says Brooks. "And of course almost everyone does. They lost
all their luggage, including their passport and visa, in a place where
they didn't speak a word of the language, for example. Those are great
stories to tell an employer! It's chance to show off your problem-
solving skills and resourcefulness, and that you can adapt in an
unfamiliar situation."

Brooks takes a dim view of placement agencies that charge you a fee in
exchange for the promise of an overseas job. "Employers pay the fees
at reputable employment agencies, so don't be fooled by ads in
newspapers or online," she says.

If you can't resist trying one of these outfits, she adds, contact the
Better Business Bureau and your state attorney general's office first
to see if the agency has any black marks against it -- a bit of wise
counsel that applies equally to fee-based employment agencies claiming
to offer U.S. jobs, too.
