Pursuing a career while moving from a country to another is indeed one of the most difficult challenges for expat partners. And it is also one of the main topics of Tandem Nomads, so I have to say that it was very difficult to pick just 4 extracts from all previous episodes that can be valuable to you, because all the guests on Tandem Nomads shared some amazing inspiration regarding this topic, so if you haven’t already, I really hope you will take the chance to listen to the past and future episodes on a regular basis if you are looking for solutions to build your portable career. For this episode, what I tried to do, is to select some of the factual points and advice that I think every expat partner should consider when they feel lost with their career and when they are working on building a portable career. We will start with Marilyn Gardner is a clinical nurse liaison, consultant and author of the blog and the book https://communicatingacrossboundariesblog.com (Communicating Across Boundaries). Her profile is very interesting as she managed to blend her nursing profession with her multicultural background to create a career that is very unique, as she helps doctors and patients from different cultures communicate more efficiently. In this extract, you will hear some of her important insights on what it takes to go through that career transformation. Marilyn has shared so much valuable advice in her interview that I had to divide this interview into two parts.

Asetila is a real hustler, always looking to improve her skills and create opportunities wherever she goes. I think what she shares here is so crucial to many expat partners, she shares about how she managed to fit in professionally, gain new skills and develop her business one country after the other. Check out the full version of Asetila’s inspiring but also really fun interview on http://www.tandemnomads.com/27 (www.tandemnomads.com/27) Anna Sparks is an expat partner from the USA and this is just a glimpse of the powerful tips she provides on how to write the resume that will get you the job you want.

I can tell you that she is one of the greatest networker I have ever met!
