Have you ever dreamed of working in China? Chile? India? Brazil?
Is this something you’ve been thinking about for years, but you’re uncertain about how to make it happen?
The new landscape of work transcends national boundaries, which creates unprecedented opportunities to work worldwide.
That’s me, at the podium of EXPO China here in Santiago, Chile. What you can’t see in this picture is that there’s no one in the audience; it wasn’t speech time. But there were plenty of Chinese companies showing off their buses, carpets, garbage incinerators, and all kinds of other products positioned for the Chilean market. The opportunities for international trade and business are endless, and you (yes, you!) can position yourself right in the middle of it.
NOTE: I’ve gotten great feedback on this course, but recently the email provider I was using hit some technical difficulties, so I’ve had to deactivate it while I create a smoother and more valuable solution. In the meantime, subscribe and I’ll let you know as soon as the course re-launches. Thanks for understanding.
In the 6+ years since I graduated from university, I’ve worked…
… as an advertising copywriter, corporate social responsibility specialist, corporate trainer, English teacher, human resources consultant, interpreter, researcher, social entrepreneurship instructor, translator, tutor, and more…
… in China and now in Chile.
This is from my first international job. Shortly after graduating with a degree in Latin American Studies, I decided to move to China to teach English at a university near Shanghai. I believe this photo is from our final project from the first semester: skits! For more details about how I ended up in China, simply sign up for this free course.
Through all of these projects, in all of these places, I’ve come to believe that creating your international career is a journey, a long-term pursuit of the intersection between:
- what you’re good at
- what you know about yourself
- who you know
Working abroad can make you taller!? Figuratively, perhaps. I’ve been stretched and challenged so many times. It definitely hasn’t been easy (read: bouts of sickness and loneliness, visa stress, and many other headaches) but I’m so grateful for all these experiences. Photo: Bahia Inglesa, Chile.
In this course, I’ll share:
- advice from my own journey
- reflections on what it means to be a global citizen
- links to the most useful books and resources
- exercises to help you think through the process of creating your international career
If you’re dreaming of the world, but not sure about how it can work, I can help you clarify your doubts. Maybe you’re wondering about health care in Argentina, or schools for your kids in the Philippines, or the best way to get around New Zealand. I don’t have all the answers, but I can help you connect with the friends-of-friends that can guide you more specifically.
Where do you dream of living and working?
Again, my apologies for the technical difficulties! In the meantime, I hope you’ll subscribe, so I can let you know as soon as the course re-launches. Thanks for understanding.
