Hi all,
Fingers crossed I'll have obtained the NEBOSH Dip in a few months. I'm thinking of a change and about working abroad for say 6 months...or forever if I like it!

Does anyone have any good recruitment consultants for me to contact that place people abroad?
Where's best to consider for a first timer? US, Europe or the Middle East?
Does any one have any experience of working in the US? Can I get out there with a NEBOSH qualification?

Thanks

Don't blame you this country has no jobs currently half way through my diploma and quite frankly disillusioned the way the job market is going

I have been in Dubai for 5 yrs. Had enough now tho.
Anyway-look on Gulf Talent.com and Career Structure.com.They have lots of jobs on.
The problem you will have tho is that there is a huge amount of people already here to choose from so it is unlikely you will get a start here from the UK but worth a try especially if you have particular skills.
Get the NEBOSH Oil and Gas cert too-i just did it for CPD and it was interesting and may put you ahead of the rest.
Feel free to PM me if you need any more specific info on working in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
Good luck with the Dip result!
Cheers
