Expat Network Jobs Newsletter Welcome to the Expat Network Jobs newsletter for May. As well as links to some of the many new job opportunities available at www.expatnetwork.com, we explore some of the many issues affecting your working life as an expat – or would-be expat. In this edition we are keen to help you make sure you register or re-register with Expat Network so that you can fully enjoy all the many benefits available to you on registering. This month we consider the growing threat from malaria to expats on assignment - and the risks to their employers/recruiters.
