International Job Finder: Where the Jobs Are Worldwide (International Job Finder)
Daniel Lauber, Kraig Rice
Rating: 5.0/5 Stars
Rank: 64630
Students, recent graduates, and others attracted by work opportunities in
foreign countries will benefit from this new source, whose purpose is "to
gather together in one place the broadest collection of effective online
and offline resources for finding international jobs." Claiming that using
the Internet is more effective for obtaining international jobs than
domestic ones, Lauber, the author of several guides on finding jobs in the
public and private sectors, discusses in detail the advantages of utilizing
the Internet while job hunting.
These advantages include searching
databases of jobs that fit one's employment and location criteria, placing
one's name in rsum banks, signing on for e-mail notification,
speeding the transmission of resumes, using news groups for networking
opportunities, and obtaining current country information.
Lauber also
warns readers to beware of potential pitfalls and gives advice on how to
recognize and avoid scams.
Some 1200 online and print resources are
organized into worldwide gateways and into eight geographical regions
further subdivided alphabetically by country.
Each resource is covered by
a paragraph describing its services, its strengths, any charges to users,
and recommendations on how to use it most effectively. Both a "Resource
Index" and a "Topic Index" are useful in narrowing one's search to
occupations and countries of most interest.
Readers need only beware that
most graphics illustrating web-site pages are separated from their related
text by several to hundreds of pages and that a few advertisements for
recommended print resources appear.
This well-balanced reference is
strongly recommended for academic and public library career collections.
