I have enjoyed reading the posts in these forums.  They are often informative, but always entertaining.

As to my question, I am interested in pursuing an overseas academic administrative position.  I have looked at the usual websites (i.e. Chronicle and Higheredjobs) for postings.  Any other ideas out there on locating administrative openings? 

Also, I'm curious if I have much of a shot at these positions since I have not worked overseas before.  My background is, very quickly, 10 years in HR administration in for-profit and higher education.  I was a tenure-track faculty member for three years and am now VP of HR for a college. Yes, I couldn't hack the faculty world! 

Thanks for any input or suggestions.

No idea. For the UK, maybe look up UK jobs in general? But I think it will be hard to be hired not from the EU.

Our higher end admin jobs are advertized on jobs.ac.uk (UK university). But I am not aware that we have ever appointed anyone from overseas. I know that the spouse of one of my faculty colleagues took two years and a significant pay cut to track down a job in the UK when colleague moved from the US.

Thank you both - my sense is that it will be difficult not being from the EU as well.

Again, thanks.
