He left his job for another. Better pay, better position and he became an expat in a foreign land. He was eager to leave the last company due to so many reasons. Two offers came in.

Here are 4 great sites I am recommending you to use:
- Glassdoor
- Facebook page
Check out their online presence, see how active they are engaging their crowd, is there anything that raises alarms, read what current and past employees are saying? Look out for news on retrenchments, court cases, health issues, ill reputations of leadership and management etc.
To your career success
