GenXPat

I am currently reading GexXpat, by Margaret Malewski. As soon as I am finished, I'll write a presentation of the book. You can click on the link below this article in order to buy it from Amazon. Here is what the author writes about it on her website:

"Caught up in fast-paced careers that increasingly involve travel and international relocation, many young people find themselves living and working abroad, often at the cost of meaningful relationships and a sense of connection. Margaret Malewski, a cross-cultural trainer and GenXpat, balances the successes and failures of a new generation of young, internationally and culturally mobile professionals. Based on her own experience and that of her colleagues, she offers invaluable advice for a generation that embraces the opportunity and the challenges in overseas assignments.

Aspiring GenXpats learn how to:

• negotiate an expat contract
• juggle work and relocation logistics
• deal with culture shock
• build social networks abroad
• enjoy romantic relationships: dating across cultures, long-distance relationships or moving with a partner
• prepare a smooth re-entry back home."
