Expats speak out: does working abroad boost your career?

According to a survey from Natwest International Personal Banking, 83 per cent of women who work abroad believe the experience will stand them in good stead for moving up the career ladder.

Apparently, having spent time working overseas is generally considered to demonstrate a number of important skills to employers.

Out of over 400 women interviewed by NatWest, over half (52 per cent) said that the experience of working overseas had exceeded their expectations.

Members of the Telegraph Expat community on Twitter agree, and say working abroad has been a valuable and enriching experience.
