More infomation for those of you who want to work abroad...
As frustrating as the job market can be here, it can be equally frustrating to look for a job abroad. Luckily, Michigan has taken some new steps to help their students find employment abroad. The International Center recently added a new resource for the UM community to enjoy: The Big Book to Living and Working Abroad, online. This book has already been a great help to me while searching for employment abroad, but the online version is up-to-date and easy to navigate. This is a resource I would definitely suggest taking advantage of- all you need is a umich email account!
If this doesn't quench your thirst, there is another option. So many jobs abroad involve teaching English, however teaching English part time can be a great way to get yourself abroad and make an income while you look for an additional job that suits you. A great program that I have found is through the ministry of education in Spain. They are looking to hire American and Canadian students to teach English all over Spain. The time requirement is only about 15 hours a week and you receive a stipend that is sufficient enough to cover your living expenses. Basically, it gives you plenty of time to explore other jobs, while not having to be too worried about your finances. This type of program is not unique to Spain, so it is worth looking into for whichever country you are interested in living in!
Buena Suerte!
