Are the jobs listed on Jobs Board only for locals?

Hi, I noticed that most of the jobs listed on Job Board are based in Europe or the US. Are they open to foreigners too?Asian Girl

I think you'll find that most firms will take on non-locals, government action permitting.This varies a lot country by country, as I understand it Britain allows in skilled banking staff pretty easily.

Dominic, thanks for the reply. Went through this Forum yesterday and realised the job market in the UK and US is as bad as Asia's. Hope Jobseeker has found his dream job.

I think the bigger firms are prepared to jump through the regulatory hoops to arrange work permits for foreign nationals, but the smaller firms seem a bit more reluctant. The bigger issue is relocation - if you are applying for a London job and you are not U.K. based, you may need an overwhelming advantage in terms of job qualifications generate interest.
