2.) Consider employment with global employers. Global employers have offices in many locations to which you could transfer or from which you could possibly work remotely. Some of the big accounting firms actually require their CPAs to switch offices every few years in order to get broad client exposure.

3.) Seek employment with a staffing firm such as Aquent or MomCorps. These companies place employees in interim or part time positions that often convert to full time positions. These firms have offices and opportunities across the U.S. In Aquent's case, their reach is international as well.
