Live & Work Abroad:
|
|
This book, aptly listed as a guide for modern nomads, is a must-read for anyone going on or living through an expatriate assignment. It is more than a checklist of what to do before you move; it covers critical facets of what to do once you arrive.
The book covers everything from definitions of words associated with expat assignments to detailed information on how to address various aspects of expat life, such as selecting a school or dealing with specific health problems. It is presented in easy-to-read language. At the end of each major segment there are additional resources on the topic, typically both print and Internet, so the reader may continue to research an area of particular interest. The book can be a boon to all expats, from those moving under the auspices of a company that provides assistance in shipping household goods to those who are making all the arrangements on their own. There are some wonderful checklists to guide you through various decision-making processes such as what to move and how to select a preschool. This is not a book that you sit down and read at one sitting. It is a reference book to call upon whenever you face a particular situation.
