Taipei, March 19 (CNA) Nearly nine in 10 Taiwanese workers are either willing to work abroad or have overseas work experience, an online job bank poll has found, indicating an ongoing interest among Taiwanese to develop their careers outside of their home country.

Some 60.9 percent of 1,019 users of the online 1111 job bank surveyed said they wanted to land a job overseas, while 21.1 percent said they had previous overseas work experience and 7.5 percent were currently working outside Taiwan.

Only 10.5 percent of respondents said they were not considering finding a job in another country.

The main reason by far for the heavy interest in working abroad was that pay levels overseas are seen as being higher than they are in Taiwan, cited by 71.6 percent of those respondents who have worked, are working or want to work overseas.    [FULL  STORY]
