J. F. Loeber
Hello Xpats, If you need support in your job abroad as an Xpat (Expat/Expatriate), or also at HQ, working in an International Organisation, NGO or other entity/function foremost in International Development, I provide assistance where possible. You are an aspiring, current and/or past Xpat wishing to work, advance or reflect on your career primarily in international development assistance ? Yes, then this website is for you. With this voluntary service I am giving back from what I have been able to experience and benefit from in the past 25 years as an Xpat in various organisations and environments.
Yours, J. F. Loeber XpatJobSupport
