Expat Network Jobs Newsletter - September 2020

Welcome to Expat Network’s September 2020 newsletter.

As the world continues to be affected by Covid-19 people continue to be heavily impacted both in their personal and professional lives. Different countries are using different strategies to combat the pandemic and to manage its impact on their economies.

Despite it all life goes on and many continue to seek a new role abroad and the trend for people to recognise that if they are working from home, home can be anywhere, continues to grow. I work in a CoWorking office in Spain and several of my co-tenants have made the decision to move to the sunshine and enjoy the Spanish lifestyle while continuing to work on jobs based elsewhere. Here I share my experiences.

As well as links to some of the 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.

We are, as always, here to help and welcome any suggestions on topics that you would like us to cover. Just write to expats@expatnetwork.com. So if you have any queries about expat jobs or other topics don't hesitate to drop us an email. We love to hear from you!
