Looking for a stable job with career progression from post to post? Valeria would recommend looking at jobs in international education.

In this episode, Valeria walks us through some of the questions she's asked and answered while setting up her portable business. She also shares her positive perspective and advice as a third-culture kid, a mom to TCKs, and as an accompanying partner who continues to learn and grow as she moves from educator to business owner.

BIO
Valeria Laitinen has lived and worked internationally for over 20 years. She began her career in international development and worked on democracy and governance projects in Bangladesh, Ghana and Nigeria. In Bangladesh, she was invited to develop and teach a course on job searching skills to graduate and undergraduate students at East-West University.
When she became a parent, she switched careers and became a certified international educator. She taught elementary school in Slovakia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Greece and Armenia. While in Greece, she entered administration and served as Elementary Vice Principal at ACS Athens.
In her role as school administrator, Valeria reviewed hundreds of resumes and cover letters, noting a vast range in effectiveness in how the applicants presented themselves on paper.
