There are plenty of overseas job opportunities out there, but the trick is finding them. STA Travel, a travel agency geared toward college students and travelers under the age of twenty-six, has made what often seems like a frustrating and tedious job search just a little bit easier.
Overseas Job Opportunities
In addition to locating some of the best flight deals out there, STA has several great overseas job opportunities. From jobs as an au pair to office work, from English teacher positions to possibilities within the hospitality industry, there's bound to be something of interest to anyone looking to live outside his or her home country for a while.
Countries where STA's opportunities are located include Australia, New Zealand, China, Chile, Thailand, France, Germany, Peru, Italy, Spain, and others.
Time Frames for STA's Jobs Abroad
Most jobs are temporary, from just a couple of months to a half or full year. Jobs in Australia and New Zealand run up to twelve months, for instance, and au pair positions in Europe are typically about six months. Teaching jobs are approximately eight months, which is one academic year.
Work and Travel Opportunities With STA Travel
Some of the jobs involve both work and travel. In Australia and New Zealand, participants in the program work various jobs in order to be able to travel around the country. Jobs range from bartending to working as a ranch hand.
Additional Perks of Some Available Jobs
Great benefits abound with some of STA's programs. For example, a TEFL certification course is included with many of the teaching positions in South America and Asia. This is a valuable credential that will add another boost to a resume even after a stint abroad has ended. Full room and board is included for many au pair jobs in Europe.
