What to Consider for an International Move
Regardless of the reasons taking you overseas, you are about
to embark on a new way of life. What will it take to get there
from here? Are you ready to uproot and try out new cultures
and styles of doing business? Do you know enough about the
country you're headed for? What will your everyday life be
like? How long will your assignment last and where will you
go next?
You'll also be facing long lists of things to do as you
prepare for your move: the key to success will be to be well-prepared
and organized. The practical considerations should be tools
to success not obstacles in the way of this exciting new path
you have chosen to follow.
