We’re Back With More Expat Essentials! Welcome to the May edition of the Expat Network newsletter, full of the latest news affecting those living and working overseas. In this edition we look at the latest job offers open to those willing to work overseas. Below in Featured Jobs we detail just a fraction of the employment opportunities we hold on our database. Also important for those willing and able to work overseas is to keep track of where new contracts are being awarded. Below in Contract News we showcase just a few of the many contract details we hold on our database. In this edition you will also find details of how British expats may now have to pay to access NHS services back in the UK and how Australia remains the favourite expat location for Britons. We also take a look at how you can make sure your profile and CV are up to scratch and provide guidance on the United Arab Emirates as an expat location. On a lighter note while on assignment, can you take time to appear on the BBC? A new game show linked to the National Lottery is looking for expats and their families to take part. See Expats: Are You Game? Below. We hope you enjoy this newsletter. We welcome your thoughts on other topics you would like us to cover. Or do you have your own tale to tell about expat life?

Australia has consistently been the most popular destination for British emigrants in the past five years, with 207,000 Britons heading down under for a new life since 2009. Expat builders looking for a chance to start a new life in Australia should pack their bags, because the number of opportunities opening up in the construction industry continues to grow. |

Living & Working In The UAE
A common destination for expats, the United Arab Emirates has changed beyond recognition in the past few decades – with expats responsible for making most of the changes. If you are considering taking up a post in the UAE there are a few essential factors to bear in mind, such as the rapidly rising cost of living. There are also practical considerations about how to get a visa, making sure you have the right sponsor and maintaining a good quality of life.
