How Women Can Have It All - A Portable Career Could Be The Key
Women believing they can’t break out and move abroad need to establish a portable career and then expatriate
Published in: Working Abroad - Mon, August 01, 2011
If you’re stuck in a 9 – 5 job and shackled by your mortgage and other financial ties, or you’re stuck at home with your children and you feel you have no say over the direction of your life, it’s time to take the control back and get what you want. We’re here to show you how women can have it all – and how a portable career could be your key to starting a better life abroad.
A recent NatWest International Banking survey revealed that 52% of expatriate women who had worked abroad said that the experience exceeded their expectations. Whilst 83% of the women surveyed said that working abroad was likely to give them the chance to move up the career ladder more quickly.
Instead of worrying about finding a job abroad however, why not establish yourself in a portable career first, and then you can move to live wherever you want in the world. Alternatively, if you have to accompany a partner overseas, having a portable career will mean that you never have to give up your work and personal financial freedom again.
