TraveLog: GoinGlobal's e-Newsletter
May 2008 College Edition

This edition of TraveLOG takes on topics from the world over, including post-graduate employment in the U.S., the best countries for jobs, negotiating compensation, a pilot international travel program in the United States, study abroad program selection tips, work/study in the UK and hot IT job markets.

IT Jobs: Don’t Overlook Latin America

India is usually the first country that springs to mind when thinking about hot IT job markets, but sometimes it pays to think outside the box. Most of the large players in IT have a presence in Brazil, for example, including Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, and SAP. There also some significant Brazilian companies in the field, like Microsiga or Datasul.

Featured Country Profile: United States – Atlanta

Have your eye on a job in Atlanta in the United States, but don’t know anything about the city? There’s more to Atlanta than the stereotypes of Southern belles in hoop skirts and peaches. As the capital and largest city in Georgia, the Atlanta metro area population tops four million, making it the ninth-largest metro area in the United States. Atlanta and its suburbs are home to several Fortune 500 companies, including The Coca-Cola Company, BellSouth, United Parcel Service, Home Depot and Georgia Pacific. Other large employers include media giant Cox Enterprises, Delta Air Lines and Sun Trust Banks.

Study Abroad: Know Before You Go

Need to placate concerned friends and family worried about your health and safety while studying abroad? Have them evaluate your study abroad program against the selection criteria recommended by the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES). From track records to health plans, IES tells you what to seek out.

Make sure the compensation package adjusts for the current weakness of the U.S. dollar or you’ll be in for a painful surprise in your new locale. From $2 cans of Coke to simple dinners with $100 price tags, expatriates are finding the U.S. dollar doesn’t stretch as far as it used to. Potential compensation strategies to make up the difference include full or partial payment in the host country’s currency, cost-of-living adjustments and/or guaranteed exchange rate policies.
