Description
Anyone who hopes to continue working despite frequent relocations must be flexible, patient, inventive and proactive. A portable career often needs to be modified if it is to suit each location. The tools we need to be able to reinvent ourselves are available to all of us. The team here at www.career-in-your-suitcase.com have all created their own portable careers, live their dream and have seen success not only for themselves, but for the thousands they have inspired along the way.
Jo Parfitt lived abroad from 1987-97, accompanying first husband and then children too, from England to Dubai, on to Muscat and finally to Stavanger. During this time she retained her sanity and professional identity by creating a concurrent yet flexible portfolio of portable careers that ranged from journalism, though computer teaching to selling date chutney. She believes that life abroad is full of opportunities to reinvent ourselves and to find and follow our passions.
She works largely as a freelance international journalist, book author, publisher, presenter, careers consultant. Owing to the decade she spent abroad she now specialises in expatriate and career issues. She has been editor of Woman Abroad magazine and has worked extensively on the Weekly Telegraphs' Expat Living page. Her work can be seen in a range of expatriate publications. Her publishing company, Summertime Publishing, has produced two books - Forced to Fly and A Career in Your Suitcase. Her speaking engagements take her to international networking and career conferences as well as to run workshops for non-profit associations and spouse associations of corporations such as Schlumberger and the British Council.
