Working abroad offers adventure, friendship with people of other
cultures, intimate familiarity with exciting places, and
opportunities to make real differences in communities. It also
presents countless challenges, ranging from packing and staying
safe and healthy to balancing project objectives with on-the-ground
realities, working with local officials, and forging respectful and
productive relationships. These challenges and many more are
tackled in "How to Work in Someone Else's Country." Drawing on
thirty years of experience as an international consultant in
Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific, Ruth Stark provides
guidance for anybody preparing to work in a foreign country.
This easy-to-read guide is enlivened by real-life examples drawn
from the author's journals and stories shared by colleagues. Slim
enough to fit in a carry-on, this book is sure to come in handy
wherever your work takes you.
