COMMUNITY REVIEWS

4 stars submitted by patrice on September 12, 2010, 3:55pm This book is an endless source of information! It's basically back to back pages of Companies, government agencies, and non-profits overseas, their information, the work they do, and how it is suited for someone with XYZ qualifications. It isn't a great "read," but it's a good reference resource that would be nice to have around for long-term research. The information is mostly suited for college students looking to get jobs overseas and how best to find them. However, it isn't entirely useless for adults in various industries.
