A Career in Your Suitcase: A Practical Guide to Creating Meaningful Work, Anywhere

Jo Parfitt has run Summertime Publishing since 1997. She has written over 30 books and helped well over a hundred new authors to write and publish their own. A journalist, editor, writer, speaker and teacher, she has lived abroad for almost 30 years - in France, Dubai, Oman, Norway, the Netherlands, Brunei and Malaysia. Jo specialises in inspiring others who write about expatriate issues. Colleen believes in teaching people the skills they will need to make the most of their career journey, to make personally meaningful choices for their career.
Colleen made an international transition in 2005 when she moved from Canada to the Netherlands for love after almost ten years working in the field of career development. Seeing it as the ultimate chance to apply the career development principles she teaches others, within two years she had learned the language and was again delivering career development training. This time in Dutch. After meeting Jo Parfitt at Connecting Women and the European Professional Women's Network, Colleen decided to follow her intuition and discuss the idea of a book further with Jo.
This edition of Career in Your Suitcase is the result and incorporates lessons learned and the career development principles needed for today's mobile career adventurer.
