Hi Ozbargain,
I'm currently a uni student studying Commerce with a major in Finance and graduating in a few years' time. I've been thinking about what I'd like to do after graduation and had the following thoughts/questions:
Is there any way I can search for international companies where an employee is sent to work in different countries (mainly East Asia)? The best scenario would be that the company sponsors employees to learn a language overseas and eventually has them work for their branch in that country. Is this a possibility at all?
Alternatively, just being able to work in that country (and using English only or mostly) is great too. I would just like the company to be based in/have originated from an English-speaking country. Ideal situation is getting hired in Australia then having the opportunity to work overseas.
I'm thinking China, Japan and/or Korea at the moment.
I'm not sure where to start researching relevant info, hence this post.
Thanks everyone!
In my experience it is rare for multinationals to send entry level employees overseas for permanent postings. Those are normally hired locally. As you proceed in your career, international management assignments certainly are available if you’re good enough.
