Thumbs up International Job-Finding Agencies?

I'm referring to job-finding programs/companies that set people up with jobs in a foreign country. I know of some, but I'd like to compile a list of as many as possible.

For those who haven't done any such program, you basically pay some money (I've seen prices ranging from around 300 to 1000), and the company finds you a job in a country of your choice, a place to stay, and they help you with any visas you might need. It's a good way to travel, make some money, and get job experience.

I have this link on hand: http://www.icemenlo.com/index.shtml

I've come across some other good ones, but I didn't save the links...I'll edit them in once I find them. Anyone else have some links?

You can apply ahead of time. I haven't done it, yet; part of the reason, a small part, that I'm heading on a cruise this winter is to check things out. I've heard good things and bad about it.

Also, might be worth looking into your nation's embassy abroad. There was a few decent jobs in the American Embassy in London a while back, and I'm applying for 2 at the British Embassy in France atm. Probably lack the experience, but fuck it - might aswell try.

About cruises or about that particular site in general? (The cruise I went on kicked more ass than any vacation I can recall)

Are all of the links you provided reputable? (ie. how'd you find out about them?)

The website's good. It's the work on a cruise ship that I've heard mixed reviews about. They can require long hours for low pay; you have to keep the other benefits in mind. The staff accommodations can also be rather tight, from what I understand.

They're all academic or government recommended sites. There are plenty more websites and organizations where those came from; however, too many options can muddle things.

I filled in my application for the cruise ship one, then at the very end they required MONEY to process my application.

Fuck that, sounds like a scam. Poorly built website, asking for money for the service (usually they should ask for money from the companies they're hiring for, not the poor smucks applying for the jobs).

SHENANIGANS!

It tells you about the money before you start the application. Maybe you should read things before trying to sign up for them.

Anyways, it said a one-time processing fee of 30 or 40 bucks, which is reasonable. A lot of job placement programs charge like 500, give or take a few.

You're paying for the use of their contacts and their experience with the cruise lines. I tried to sign up with them last year, over the phone, but was refused because it wasn't hiring season; I missed it by a few days.

If you're just looking for a job board, then this is an http://www.jobs4cruise.com/ option.

This is a sweet fucking thread. I'm currently thinking about moving to Australia but finding international jobs seems like such a long shot.
Thanks for the resources, and anyone who has experience getting jobs in foreign countries should share their experiences and how hard or easy it was for them.

I want to get a job somewhere in Europe but apparently it's tricky for an Australian to get into the EU without being a citizen. Like the guy above me any tips would be swell.

Ok, you want to know how to get into another country with a job.

1.) Get a job with a multinational corporation.
2.) Work there for a few months; until your probationary period has passed.
3.) Apply for a job posting with the company in another country.

These corporations have lawyers and HR people to help you work in, and move to, a different country.
