Testimonials
“I followed the advice in The BIG Guide, learned to write an international resume and how to sell my skills. This book is the number one reason I found a job as an engineer in Africa!”
Carmen Brubacher, Recent Graduate, University of California at Berkeley and University of Waterloo
“Everything you need to know about international careers is between these two covers. Many of the people we recruit consult The BIG Guide - it's not just a reference you'll use before going abroad but an important tool you'll come back to while overseas and after your return. ”
Paul Davidson, Executive Director, World University Service (WUSC)
