Global Opportunities

Working abroad can be a very rewarding and enriching experience. It will help you to continue developing numerous transferable skills, such as communication, curiosity, adaptability and critical thinking, and you will pick up knowledge of other countries and cultures.

These skills can be applied to a wide range of different jobs, activities and industries and are highly sought after by UK employers.

If you do want to work abroad, there are some important practical considerations, so do spend time looking into visas, cultural expectations and language requirements.  Guides for many different countries, containing key information and advice on preparation, are available on the Prospects website.

See below for other sites to help you search for global opportunities.

The following websites will help you to search for jobs all over the world, whether you are relocating to live abroad or returning to your home country.
