For English speakers, the dream of working in a sunnier environment is easier to realise than for anyone else. Not only is English spoken in many parts of the world, and is often the first or second language of business in those countries, but there is great demand for native English speakers to teach English. Complementing this demand for English speakers is the huge increase in the availability of cheap flights to warmer destinations - as a result, it's now far more practical to consider working abroad than ever before.For people considering a gap year before or after university, or for those seeking to take a career-break year that combines both travel and work experience, Jobs in the Sun examines the issues involved in working abroad, from taxation and visa issues to residency and job opportunities.Profiled countries include: the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Portugal, France and Greece. Additional chapters cover summer vacation work and voluntary job opportunities, and the book concludes with useful addresses and other travel information.

For many women in their 20's and 30's, the greatest professional hurdle they'll need to overcome has little to do with their work life. The most focused, confident, and ambitious women can find themselves derailed by a tiny little thing: a new baby. While more workplaces are espousing family-friendly cultures, women are still subject to a "parenting penalty" and high-profile conflicts between parenting and the workplace are all over the news: from the controversy over companies covering the costs of egg-freezing to the debate over parental leave and childcare inspired by Marissa Mayer's policies at Yahoo. Here's the Plan offers an inventive and inspiring roadmap for working mothers steering their careers through the parenting years. Author Allyson Downey, founder of weeSpring, the "Yelp for baby products,” and mother of two young children advises readers on all practical aspects of ladder-climbing while parenting, such as negotiating leave, flex time, and promotions. In the style of #GIRLBOSS or Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, Here's the Plan is the definitive guide for ambitious mothers, written by one working mother to another.
