How Does LinkedIn Work?

LinkedIn, a social networking site for professionals, is a large community of over 40 million users from all over the world. It allows people to interact with other individuals and maintain profile pages that contain their career-oriented information and contact details. The advantage of LinkedIn is that it prevents personal details from being stored in the same place as business informationð€”which means, you can publish your business information without worrying about whoð€™s going to read it.  In fact, the more people who have access to your business information, the better.  You never know where your next job lead might come from.


Overseas Jobs - 5 Reasons Why People Seek Them

Tax Break - Depending on your nationality this may vary, however some countries offer nice tax breaks for those working abroad. US citizens qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion which if qualified allows them to exclude up to $91,500 annually in foreign wages.  There are some stipulations with this so make sure you are informed regardless of where you live.

Higher Pay - Of course this may be the number one reason for those seeking overseas jobs but often certain skill sets are hard to find overseas requiring companies to seek employees elsewhere. One region that could be quite lucrative is the Middle East, in particular danger zones such as Afghanistan and Iraq.

Opportunity to Travel - Well, this may seem blatantly obvious since we"re talking about overseas jobs here, but a job in a region such as Europe, South America, Africa or the Middle East will provide lots of opportunities to travel and explore the local region. After all, you"re not going to be working all the time.

New Job Experiences - Most likely if you"re transitioning to a position in your same field (or even changing careers) you"re going to experience a lot of new and unique ways of doing things.  What better then to home in your skills while working with other highly experienced professionals?  Learning to fine tune your craft or possibly even gaining the knowledge of a new skill.

Experience the Culture - This is my favorite.  I"ve lived abroad and still travel quite extensively. Once my work day is over, I love to experience the local culture and I sign up for any type of tours available. About a year ago I traveling to Dubai and took a nice bus tour of this fantastic city - what a treat. It"s not every day that many people get to experience these types of opportunities.  I feel very fortunate for the opportunities that I do have and like to experience as much as I can the local culture.  Why don"t you?
