The explosive growth of international jobs means thousands of new opportunities for enterprising job seekers.

Two of America's leading career writers take a critical look at the best jobs and careers for the decade ahead. Forecasting 29 major trends for jobs and careers, they examine changes in employment rates, the role of government in stimulating job growth, opportunities for older workers, women and immigrants, part-time and temporary employment education and training requirements, industrial changes, regional population and economic shifts, career advancement outlook, hiring practices, job-hopping, relocation issues, salary expectations, and much more. The authors also identify nearly 100 of the best jobs in the decade ahead. Describing each job in terms of employment outlook, nature of work, working conditions, education and training requirements, earnings and key contracts, the book concludes with a review of the best resources for charting one's own job and career future. An indispensable guide for students, current employees and job seekers concerned with preparing for jobs that have a promising future.

A companion reference to "The Complete Guide to International Jobs & Careers" presents contact information -- addresses, phone numbers, names, and descriptions -- for hundreds of public and private organisations offering international job opportunities.
