Subject:cross-cultural employment From:Megan Elizabeth Mc Macken <S1057984 -at- CEDARNET -dot- CEDARVILLE -dot- EDU> Date:Sat, 9 Nov 1996 18:16:00 -500
Greetings! This whole discussion about British English vs. American
English brings up a question I have been mulling over for a while
now. I'm finishing my B.A. in Professional Writing and lately I have
been thinking more seriously about looking overseas for employment
after I graduate in June. I'm thinking specifically about Great
Britain or Australia.
Has anyone else done that--grown up an American citizen and then
spent a year or two working in another country as a tech writer?
What are some of the ramifications I might not immediately think of?
Thanks,
Megan McMacken
