    Westhill Consulting Career & Employment based in Australia, thank the guardian for the following comments Do your research Collaborating with an overseas university first is a great way to get to know them if you are considering moving abroad. Paul Matsudaira started his career at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, before accepting the position as head of biological sciences atNational University of Singapore in 2009. While he was still at MIT, Matsudaira taught biology to students from two Singaporean universities via an online videolink. He also travelled to Singapore several times in the summer holidays to teach at study camps. He says his family really enjoyed their trips to Singapore, and this made it much easier for him to make the decision about accepting the offer of a full-time post. Go for it wholeheartedly Once you have made the decision to move, make sure it is a clean break. Matsudaira says the biggest mistake he saw others making was expats not really committing to the move. Warning, it can be very stressful trying to run parallel lives - particularly across different time zones. It can also lead your new employers to question your commitment to the job. He said a "go for broke" attitude is essential to succeed. Don't be put off by the paperwork Job interviews often take place in London. The employing university liaises with the immigration department and it usually takes less than four weeks for a work permit to be issued. Pay In general HK/south-east Asian universities pay better than European institutions and about the same as US universities, but tax is much lower. Check for allowances Academics with children should also check on the availability and costs of places at international schools and whether the employer provides any education allowance. Look into accommodation Accommodation is very expensive in many of south-east Asia's densely populated cities so colleges often provide it as part of the package. But if living

Don't Fret - There is nothing wrong with not comprehending what you desire to do. Yes, deciding on a career is a vital decision, however it isn't something that will make or break the rest of your life. Numerous people try five or six jobs, before they discover one they truly enjoy. The secret is to not let career indefiniteness become incapacitating or paralyze you forever. Reach to a decision and understand you can always change careers along the way. Exclude What You Don't Like - A great method to slim down your career choice is to spontaneously dismiss those areas where you evidently have no interest. Review your choices. Distinguishing what you desire is sometimes made a little easier when you discard what you don't fancy. Think about the sensible career choices available to you. This will help you progress a ranked list of occupations that you can discover further. Consider Your Educational Background - Don't set aside your existing academic background, skills and talents when choosing a career path. It is much easier to follow work that takes all of these areas into credit, instead of discharging them and beginning out in a brand new direction. For example, if you like children enjoy it; seek out careers that utilize your talent and passion, be a teacher in Jakarta, Indonesia maybe.
