This book is an endless source of information! It's basically back to back pages of Companies, government agencies, and non-profits overseas, their information, the work they do, and how it is suited for someone with XYZ qualifications. It isn't a great "read," but it's a good reference resource that would be nice to have around for long-term research. The information is mostly suited for college students looking to get jobs overseas and how best to find them. However, it isn't entirely useless for adults in various industries.

A reference covering work in government, corporations, non-profits, foundations, think tanks, law firms, and so on. Even after a degree in international relations and some time in business development, I discovered some organizations I didn't know existed. Most of the summaries include whether advanced degrees are necessary, and salary information on occasion.

Eh, not great. A few good points that I've been able to glean. However, very basic and topical.
