How brave are you when it comes to employment? Are you bold enough to go halfway around the world to find work? Instead of complaining about U.S. jobs going overseas, you could take the bull by the horns and grab one job back. It's not that tough to do, and it could be a life-changing experience. U.S. college graduates with business or technical backgrounds are highly sought after by companies that operate in India. If you qualify (and if you're willing to relocate), you could find yourself working in Bangalore or New Delhi for some multinational company like Intel, Citibank, or GlaxoSmithKline (a pharmaceutical company). In addition, learning how to live and work in a foreign country can build self- confidence and make you more attractive to future employers. To get a glimpse of what it would be like to live and work in India, read the articles, "Expat's Manual: Living in India," and "Needs Job, Moves to India" at Then, go to the Times Jobs website and find a job in India that you'd like to have, either right after graduation or about five years into your career. (When selecting the job, ignore its actual location and proceed as if it's in Bangalore.) After you've pondered the possibility of living and working in India, answer the following questions: 1. What would your job entail? 2. What would living and working in Bangalore be like? What aspects would you enjoy? Which would you dislike? 3.

How would the experience of working in India help your future career? 6. How would you prepare for a career in international business? 7. Would you be willing to take a job in India for a year or two? Why, or why not? How brave are you when it comes to employment? Are you bold enough to go halfway around the world to find work?
