| Frequently
Asked Questions |
|
|
| Can I make or save money
working overseas? |
^ Back
to Top |
| Yes. Definitely. There are several reasons
you can leave after the job overseas with more money than you started with. Some foreign
countries have less than 5% federal income tax, others have 0%. When you work overseas for
a year, you don't have to pay any U.S. federal income tax, only the taxes of the host
country, and if they don't have any, then you don't pay any. Most jobs overseas offer free
housing, so you don't have to pay rent. In every country that speaks a foreign language,
you can teach English in your spare time and make extra cash; I made an average of $40 an
hour doing this in Korea. |
|
| Most of the overseas
volunteer positions I find on the internet require a large fee to go do, what about the
ones you list? |
^ Back
to Top |
| I still don't understand why so many
volunteer programs require $2000 to $3000 for you to show up and work for them! I think
that is absolutely ridiculous, so 99% of our volunteer positions do not require you to pay
a fee to go out in the world and do some good. The few that we have listed that require
fees are so small and the program looked cool enough, that we went ahead and listed them. |
|
| Do you have any Internships
that pay? |
^ Back
to Top |
| Yes. We have a lot that pay. Surprisingly,
some pay good too. |
|
| Is the membership a one time
fee or does it automatically charge me again if I don't cancel my membership? |
^ Back to Top |
| The initial fee is a one time charge. When
your membership time has ended, you will receive an email stating; your membership has
expired. You do not have to contact us to cancel your membership; It's done automatically. |
|
| Once I join and search the
database, is there a fee to apply for a job? |
^ Back to Top |
| No. There are no hidden fees. Once you are a
member, you can apply for any job, apply to as many jobs as you wish, as well as get free
consulting from an expert for advice on any questions concerning; travel and overseas
work. |
|
| Do you take a commission or
percentage of my salary once I am accepted for a job? |
^ Back to Top |
| No. Again, our only fee is the initial
membership fee. We do not get a commission or percentage of your employment salary. We
want you to travel and be happy. |
|
| Is there a limit on the
number of jobs I can apply for? |
^ Back to Top |
| No. You can apply 2000 or 3000 or whatever
number of times that you wish. The benefit of being a member is that you can apply to all
the jobs you want. We continually update and add job postings to our joblist, so during
the duration of your membership, you will see newly posted jobs that you are free to apply
to. |
|
| Why do you charge the member
a fee when other sites that list jobs are free to join or search their job listings? |
^ Back to Top |
| The other sites that are free to join, do one
of three things: |
| First, they
charge up to $495 a month for an employer to post a job; only huge companies can pay these
fees and they don't have the types of jobs that our members are searching for. A small
company, like an adventure tour group or a 60 foot day charter sailboat, can't afford to
pay a huge fee to fill their employment needs. The member also pays a small fee, so
he or she can search a database only filled with jobs that are fun, exciting, and
adventurous. |
| Second, some
company or individual will post a job listing for the sole purpose of getting thousands of
resumes that they can then turn around and sell to companies to be used for marketing
purposes (they start emailing you spam). I know, because I've had it happen to me from
sending in my resume to some of the major sites. |
| Third, some
free websites get you to fill in all your personal information, then you get into their
database and find that it sucks. Then you start getting one or two emails from them every
day concerning great deals or ads for things like buying Ipods, airline discounts, et
cetera. During our internet research to collect international jobs, we joined quite a few
of these websites and the unwanted email ads started hitting our accounts within 24 hours. |
|
| Why should I join the site? |
^ Back to Top |
| Benefits include: access to a huge database
of jobs that are fun, exciting, and adventurous and you can ask any question you might
have concerning traveling or working overseas...basically you get an experienced work
overseas and travel consultant/ mentor. |
|
| If I join, do you guarantee
me a job overseas? |
^ Back to Top |
| No. We do not guarantee employment. But
we'll give you as much advice as we can, answer any questions you have, and update the
database with tons of new jobs during the time you're a member. Even after your membership
has expired, you are also free to contact us whenever you need help or advice about your
job overseas or any travel related question. |
|
| Where are the jobs located? |
^ Back to Top |
| From all over the world; Australia, South
Pacific, Hawaii, Alaska, Central America, South America, Asia, Middle East, Africa, and
Europe. |
|
| Do you offer anything
special to join? |
^ Back to Top |
| For 3 month members, you get a booklet packed
with information on advice in working and traveling overseas. I think the most valuable
chapter is one that we have included in the second edition concerning Contracts. It's
perfect for people that have never worked overseas. For 6 month members, you get a book
with even more information. You can also order the book separately (you don't have to join
as a member to order the book). |
|
| Who should join? |
^ Back to Top |
| Most jobs, volunteer positions, and
Internships are for people who are; a current high school student to graduated from
college with 1 to 5 years work experience, and between the ages of 18 and 35. If you are
currently unemployed, sick of your job, and finally want to travel, or a high school or
college student and wish to travel overseas during the winter and summer breaks. Some of
the jobs, volunteer positions and Internships accept all age groups, so there is
international employment if you are available to travel. |
|
| I don't have a college
degree but I have work experience, are there any positions available for me? |
^ Back to Top |
| Yes. A lot of positions don't require a
college degree. If you have ever dreamed of traveling, you can find a position in our job
listings. |
|
| How long do the jobs,
volunteer positions, and Internships last? |
^ Back to Top |
| We have volunteer positions that are as short
as 1 week and as long as 1 year. Jobs, of course, can last for as long as you wish. The
Internships range from 1 month to as long as 3 years, but most are for a term of 3 months
or for a term of 1 year. |
