A Big Thank You!
January 2013
We are happy to look back upon the last 12 months with a mixture of pride and satisfaction, as Expertise in Labour Mobility (ELM) happily celebrated 20 years in business. Our celebration at the Dutch Architecture Institute (NAi) in June was a real highlight, as was the release of our What Drives an Expat book later in the year. We also updated our guides for 2013, to offer a fresh perspective for those looking for a change in the new year. We wish you the very best for 2013, and if you're thinking of working abroad, we're always here to help!

Always enjoyed by those in attendance, it's a great opportunity to acclimatise oneself to the strange new world of the Netherlands! More details here! |

Looking for Work in:
Iceland
Iceland is a country which has been on everyone's lips in the last couple of years. The only country to really take matters into its own hands during the financial crisis, fire the banking leaders, and come out fighting! But where are the strong and emerging sectors in Iceland now, and how should you go about getting into the labour market? Should I turn up right on time or well in advance of my interview? Both small and large factors can play a part in your success in Iceland, and we like to think that our guide has got you covered. You can find it to order here.
