Stop gap jobs #1 (permalink) Thu Dec 14, 2006 23:23 pm   Stop gap jobs
 

The best way to test the water of a new country is to take a job that is not too binding, so why not volunteer. There are many orgs that do this;

Like EVS, incidentally the org. I first worked for in Germany. You have to be between 16-25 and you do a project in exchange for accomodation, lessons in the lingo of the hosting country and a basic living wage. Each project is between 6 mths and a year.

See a review here at the British Council website;

sorry for the long URL.

A sending organisation in Germany is located here;

Likewise try

Or if you are altuistic try working with the disabled, as I did in Worcester;

WORCESTERSHIRE LIFESTYLES
Woodside Lodge, Lark Hill Road, Worcester WR5 2EF, UK.
Tel: 01905 350686
Fax: 01905 350684
Worcslifestyles at care4free.net

All the above are good stepping stones, so take the leap.
