Product Description

for english speakers, the dream of working in a sunnier environment is easier to realise than for anyone else. not only is english spoken in many parts of the world, and is often the first or second language of business in those countries, but there is great demand for native english speakers to teach english. complementing this demand for english speakers is the huge increase in the availability of cheap flights to warmer destinations - as a result, it's now far more practical to consider working abroad than ever before.

for people considering a gap year before or after university, or for those seeking to take a career-break year that combines both travel and work experience, jobs in the sun examines the issues involved in working abroad, from taxation and visa issues to residency and job opportunities.

profiled countries include: the usa, canada, south africa, australia, new zealand, spain, portugal, france and greece. additional chapters cover summer vacation work and voluntary job opportunities, and the book concludes with useful addresses and other travel information.
