Just wondering if the process is as tenuous and expensive to work overseas for a native American as it is for people seeking entry into the US. What do I need in order to get a job in Great Britain? I have a bachelor's of science in Political Science with a minor in sociology. I have experience in non-profit management and public relations. Thanks. First, I still live in the US so there is no consulate to contact. Second, I have thought about foreign service but it would take up to a year to apply, qualify, test, and be selected and then I'd start training. I want employment overseas outside of US government, thus I am looking for someone with knowledge of what is necessary to gain employment in a firm, organization, or corporation in Great Britain. So, thank you for your initial response, but it is inadequate to what I am seeking. Diplomatically yours, Jenn

The rules vary considerably from country to country (and from year to year). For the U.K., the current rules are described here: http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/workpermits/ As you can see, it's complex and you may qualify under one work permit arrangement even if you don't qualify under another.
