Researching Prospective Employers

One of the most important elements of any job-search -- including seeking overseas work -- is conducting research on prospective employers.

Once you've narrowed your choices down to a region of the world -- or down to a specific country -- the next step is to develop a list of prospective employers with offices/plants/locations in that area and find as much about the employer as possible. You'll want to research each local company, and, if they are part of a larger organization, research the larger organization as well.

The more knowledge you have about prospective employers, the better your job-search.

In some cases, you may even be able to search the company Website for possible jobs, learn if they hire/sponsor foreign workers, and post your CV.
