OCONUS: The Contractor's Life banner image


There are a great many resources available for you to research contracting oconus/overseas -- from the www to your local library to your trusted, "I've been there person". While this site does not purport to be an exhaustive resource (this site cannot be, and will not be) for such material, we will list, as comes to our attention, vetted, verifiable, and legitimate resources that you can turn to for both research into the topic as well as sites and employers recommended and highly recommended.

That said, it is worth noting that not all experiences are the same. Things, people and companies have a tendency to change over time. It is important that you read between the lines. However, sometimes, you have to just come right out and ask the questions(s). Because, if you don't, they quite often won't.

In no particular order of relevancy, we present our current modest list of known trusted resources which will be updated as new material is presented.

Alas, organizations come and go. Others change -- restructure, change name, merge, et cetera. Only those that have weathered time, and are still around, are listed (as we know them).
