Customer Reviews
working abroad: Guardian book
A very general publication, which \i bought for my partner, as he was thinking of trying working overseas.
I have to say it's not really worth the money. it's just a cobbling together of articles that have probably been published earlier in the paper, together with a lot of commonsensical advice that I'd be surprised any potential expat worker didn't know s/he had to check out before taking the plunge.
There must be something better out there!
I suspect this fast-moving field has been taken over by on-line publications.
