Jobs Abroad is an international job search engine with listed jobs from all over the world. While the jobs listed are not hospitality specific, due to the nature of the international work and travel field, many if not most of the jobs on this site are related to the hospitality field. This site targets anyone interested in finding either temporary work or a permanent career in a foreign country, and allows applicants to search jobs by country, region and job type. Jobs posted on the site include information and links on how to apply directly to the jobs, or how to apply online or through the site. This site also includes many helpful links and adds for language learning programs, TEFL certification, job placement agencies and other assistance for achieving an international job. In addition, the site regularly updates a list of most popular job searches and destinations. This site is an excellent source for anyone looking for an international job; the searches are easy to use, organized, and job options are plentiful with very few countries that turn up an empty listing, as opposed to other sites.

Your web sources look very interesting. There is lots of information for anyone interested in getting work internationally. I understand that some of the international students at Georgian College have not been allowed to work in Canada. Can you comment on this?
