<p>Is your future career playing on your mind and has a move abroad already crossed your mind,<br />
the question really is is the grass always greener on the other side (of the world)?<br />
Working abroad in an international job can be a great way to fast track your career;<br />
if you are working abroad it sets you apart as a driven creative business mind.<br />
As business becomes more and more global, so should you but there are many factors to consider.<br />
For example if you’re a plastic surgeon, you’re likely to go somewhere where there is a demand for your work; welcome to Miami.<br />
And then there is the lifestyle choice that will dictate your decision to work in an international career,<br />
if you&#8217;re single it may be easier to move and adapt quickly, but if you have a family you will need to relocate your whole family as well.<br />
If you are lucky enough to work for a larger company you’re more likely to get more help with things such as paperwork – working visas, accommodation – and settling in.<br />
But, how do you go about choosing the best destination to work in and the right future path for your international career?<br />
Here are some of the best places to relocate for work:</p>
<h2>Canada</h2>
<p> ;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5132/5390773267_df33a51dc1.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="243" /> image source</p>
<p>Canada has an employee shortage in some really exciting industries, including the up and coming Gaming sector.<br />
If you want to get into this industry and work your way up quickly with a view to moving to one of the other Gaming hubs of the world,<br />
this is a great place to start! There are also tax breaks in the first year of work for newcomers.</p>
<h2>Australia/New Zealand</h2>
<p> ;<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6058/6261213592_ccd693a34e.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="273" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">image source</p>
<p>It’s almost a straight swap of young people on working visas between Australia/New Zealand and Britain and vice versa.<br />
There seems to be an unwritten exchange program for bar workers!<br />
This is with good reason – the scenery and pace are totally different and those looking for a relaxed approach to life and casual work will find rural Australasia a dream come true,<br />
whilst coming to the UK can offer alternative working sectors to those ‘Down Under’.<br />
The growth in recruitment operations are also growing in these destinations,<br />
many recruitment companies have set up shop there and for the more competitive generation who are looking for a commission based job,<br />
this may be the place to go for the more demanding but relaxed lifestyle job.</p>
<h2>India</h2>
<p> ;<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2524/3907192481_5920ee22db.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="244" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">image source</p>
<p>Skilled workers, especially in the service industries are really sought after given so many companies outsourcing customer service centres there.<br />
They might not pay as well as Western countries, but the cost of living in India and South East Asia in general is so low that this evens out nicely.<br />
You will want to secure work before you go out there. You may find yourself in a higher level job if you have prior experience.</p>
<h2>Switzerland</h2>
<p> ;<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3228/2490794970_1f7e27b102.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="273" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">image source</p>
<p>Switzerland has an unemployment rate of about 3.1% at the moment, so there is less competition for work there.<br />
The cost of living is very high so be prepared to adjust your way of life and expectations accordingly.<br />
The country is, of course, famous for banking and chocolate, but anyone with a chemistry or electrical engineering background will do well too.</p>
<h2>Brazil</h2>
<p> ;<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm1.staticflickr.com/12/18731465_b5ff5a4b80.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="273" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">image source</p>
<p>Currently enjoying rapid growth in its economy, Brazil is getting foreign investors and wanting foreign workers.<br />
Sectors such as mining, agriculture, IT and engineering are crying out for workers.<br />
Visas can be tricky to get, but if get to work in the country, you can enjoy the 30 days’ mandatory holiday a year!</p>
<h2>Germany</h2>
<p> ;<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4094/4739025149_099b3e815f.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="360" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">image source</p>
<p>Germans work an average of 27.8 hours a week and still retain a high standard of living.<br />
Their strong economy defies the global recession and there are plenty of jobs to go round.<br />
The cost of living isn’t as bad as say, living in London. There are no working visa restrictions to worry about either.<br />
Choose where you search wisely though – Bavaria has the most jobs available.</p>
<h2>Singapore</h2>
<p> ;<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm1.staticflickr.com/53/190640483_05cbe6dac2.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="273" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">image source</p>
<p>Singapore is safe, clean and the people are really friendly – it’s a real melting pot of cultures.<br />
They rely on the annual influx of international graduates to fill IT and specialist roles as they don’t have enough students in these areas to fill the roles.<br />
Tax is low and there’s no need to learn a new language as English is so widely spoken, being a former British colony.<br />
As you can see there are many opportunities worldwide and each destination can help build up your career in international work.</p>
