1. call a us embassy.
2. Go to USA Jobs or DONHR and they will have many many listings of overseas jobs. Select one that you can be considered for and apply. Make sure your application covers EVERY detail of experience.
3. That depends on the country you want to work in. All countries have different immigration laws and policies in place when it comes to US citizens. However, wherever you want to go I would try to get the company to pay for and take on the responsibility of getting you a working visa for whatever country you want to work in. The process in other countries can not only be time consuming but also pricey. There are many Job search engines for other countries. Just look up Job search and the country you want to work in. Mexico has a ton as does the rest of Latin America, and Europe. P.S. One of the main reasons other countries are hesitant in hiring US citizens is because we tend to want more rights, liberties, benefits than people from other countries. Would you hire a US citizen who wants 60,000 a year when you can get a native to work it for 20,000? Hope this helped!! :)
4. If you can teach English, and don't mind only having to pay 50 cents a day on food AND be in a major metropolitan center, why not try China? specifically Guangzhou. Just do your homework! There are really nice cheap apartments and decent living-on wages to be had if you look around. You aren't going to make a fortune, but you'll be comfortable. accept nothing lower than 180rmb an hour and make sure, if it includes an apartment , you look at it first! Dave's ESL cafe usually lists a lot of things on the internet.
5. I currently work overseas in Kazakhstan. First you will have to have some experience and education behind you. You can try a site like www.expatsdirect.com or www.orioneng.com they are the major recruiters for any overseas job. Hope that helps. You can also send me an email dreilly41@yahoo.ca and I ll try to help
