Never before have so many people been searching for jobs abroad and that is all thanks to online employment agencies.

Fire up your favorite search engine and search using the phrase "employment agencies" and you will find millions of links (9.8 million on Google at the time of writing). Just browse down the list and you will find many online employment agencies that offer purely local job searches or even offer the chance to search worldwide.

Jobsabroad.com is one of those online employment agencies that list jobs on a worldwide basis. Here you can find a job in virtually any country in the world for both long and short term contracts. They also list openings for volunteer workers on many charitable projects. In addition they offer valuable information concerning traveling, visas and related subjects.

Hot.jobs.yahoo.com is another useful online employment agency. You'll will need a Yahoo.com account in order to reap all its benefits but you can get one at no cost that includes an email account.

Then there is monster.com which as its name suggests is a monster of an employment agency. But don't worry, its a friendly monster!

All these online employment agencies will let you post your resume online. After approval it will be placed in their database. This database is searchable by employers looking for employees. Usually your resume is posted by filling in an on-screen form but sometimes it must be attached to an email. When an employer sees your resume and likes what he sees, he will approach the employment agency who will then contact you.

In addition you can apply for any appropriate job posted on their website. This will also involve submitting a resume and possibly a covering letter. The agency would pass these onto the advertiser and contact you accordingly.

As with everything online, be careful when submitting your details. It has been found that quite a few sites posing as online employment agencies are in fact fronts for criminals engaging in identity theft.
