Interesting facts

70% all jobs require education or technical training beyond high school

Manufacturing jobs will require different skill sets, while an equal number of

service jobs will be obsolete

Most new job opportunities come from small companies with fewer than 100

employees, yet small companies are the least able to provide on-the-job

training

Workers will change jobs six to seven times during their normal working lives

Many technical and office occupations now require a post-secondary degree as

more employers prefer to hire trained personnel rather than provide training

Summary

Casual work - The majority of casual employment is in the hospitality and tourism sectors, such as hotel and bar work or working as a holiday rep. Other typical jobs is fruit picking. Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North America offer the best opportunities.

Reason Why people do it - For some people, working abroad is a logical step in their career. For others, it's a necessity in a tough job market or a desire for a better standard of living. And there are those who do it to experience a different way of life. The reasons to work abroad are numerous, and the experience can be both life enriching and career enhancing.

At its best, an overseas job offers rich cultural experiences and professional advancement — along with a whiff of glamour. But international work is not for everyone, and those considering it need to be realistic and strategic.
