KNOW WHAT IS IT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO IN THE INTERNATIONAL FIELD?


Nina Segla & Eric Kocher, in their book, International Jobs, outlines that,

International work possibilities are available in a variety of fields, including the federal government, business, communications, finance, nonprofit and foundation organisations, and international organisations such as the United Nations (UN) system.


This breadth of professions provides unrivalled opportunity for those of you who know what you want to achieve in the worldwide context and prepare properly.


A job choice, on the other hand, requires emphasis and specificity if it is to work for you.


"Doing something overseas" is often merely the first step in a decision-making process.


Your objectives must be clearly stated in order to successfully compete with others who are also entering the foreign market.


Do you wish to be a Foreign Service officer at one of the US Department of State's embassies?


Do you want to work for the federal government as an intelligence analyst?


Or a bank manager in a distant—or cosmopolitan—part of the world? What about a United Nations employee focusing on development issues?


Or a foreign reporter for one of the news services in Rome, Paris, London—or Ouagadougou or Tegucigalpa?


These are all appropriate professional objectives. But don't be so adamant on one that everything else is out.


If you desire to work for the United Nations Development Programme, don't neglect equivalent chances in nonprofit organisations or foundations.


If you want to be a New York Times reporter in Moscow, you might also consider working as an overseas press officer for the federal government's United States Information Agency (USIA) or one of the wire services.


So the first question is, "What do I truly want to accomplish in international relations?"


Your response must be more specific than "doing something overseas!" but not limited to "working for UNICEF in Bangladesh."


If you're extremely fortunate, you may be able to accomplish a highly precise goal like the latter, but it's normally better to keep oneself flexible within boundaries.


You will discover that a professional goal does not have to be tied to a certain profession.


There are similar careers that will make use of your background just as well and will most likely provide you with the same level of happiness.


After you've determined what you truly want to achieve in foreign affairs, you'll run across several more big issues that need your whole attention:


How many jobs are available in the field or fields I've chosen?


How can I prepare myself so that my academic qualifications are appealing to employers?


What criteria (such as location and income) are restricting my job search?


Are there any additional concerns I should be aware of because of the foreign component of my job?


How can working abroad complement my lifestyle preferences and choices?

Citizenship And Residency Programmes Based On Investment In The EU

Image
Welcome To Our Blog Citizenship and residency programmes based on investment in the EU This document outlines the legislative measures in all 28 European Union (EU) Member States that may result in the immediate acquisition of citizenship or residency rights by a monetary donation.  It considers the obvious clash between the virtues inherent in EU citizenship and the frameworks it enables for nations to commodify their membership by trading it for investment.  The paper's conclusion analyses the implications of investor citizenship and golden residency programmes in the larger EU context. Introduction In mid-January 2014, the European Parliament convened a discussion titled "EU citizenship for sale" to explore programmes implemented by European Union Member States that give either residency or citizenship in exchange for investment.  The controversy was prompted by Malta's decision in October 2013 to provide affluent people who invest 650,000 euros in the nation with ...

DO ALL ELIGIBLE IMMIGRANTS NATURALIZE?

Image
Peter J. Spiro , in his book, Citizenship What Everyone Needs To Know , suggests that, Even after completing the required residence time, not all immigrants are granted citizenship. The reasons for this "denizen" population vary according to the country's circumstances. Naturalization will always require active action on the part of the person. That is, even if the qualifications are minor, the person must come forward to ask for the status. Naturalization criteria might be difficult in certain nations. For example, learning the language of the nation of resettlement at the level necessary for citizenship may be difficult. In other circumstances, even if the naturalisation criteria are not very onerous, it may not seem worth the effort. Naturalization always entails some engagement with immigration officials and the associated problems. Citizenship may or may not provide considerable new privileges. Citizenship confers significant advantages in terms of voting rights and ...

IN TRANSIT INFORMATION FOR THE FIRST TIME INTERNATIONAL TRAVELLERS TO THE USA

Image
By Dr. D K Sharma, 2017 & 2018; From the web Transit If you are looking for or reserving a ticket to fly to the United States, you should pay close attention to your ticket itinerary if it is not a non-stop direct flight from your nation to the United States. If you want to take a nonstop flight from your home country to the United States, you may skip this part. The kind of passport you possess determines whether or not you require a visa to traverse the intermediate nation on your way to the United States. Some of the arguments made below should be relevant to many Asian and African pupils. Though most Middle Eastern countries and many European countries allow airport transit without a visa, this is only possible if you have a single ticket from your country to the US with a single transit to some country in between where airport transit is permitted without a visa for citizens of your country (your nationality). If you need to depart immigration or customs at any airport, be sur...
