+1 to youngmobileglobal for that excellent suggestion and plan.
I'm in a similar situation to CupCake and although I feel I have carved a good plan to take me out of the hole I'm in (including moving abroad) I wasn't really sure how to make myself attractive to the private sector as a back-up if I don't immediately get a good job in the public one which is more of my métier. Didn't really occur to me that one could apply for internships at private companies abroad, or that as a foreigner one has potentially a good chance of landing one. I might chose Latin America instead of Asia or elsewhere due to my Spanish though, but it's good to ponder options. Really inspiring to read about other people who have gotten such good jobs by leapfrogging.
YMG, I think you could start charging for solid advice like that man.
