How can I get a job with a US-based firm in an overseas office?

Overseas positions are very competitive and often require several years of work in the firm’s US location before being sent abroad.  For a list of American firms operating in other countries, see the Career Center's Directory of American Firms Operating in Foreign Countries, which you can search by industry, country or specific firm.

The US Chamber of Commerce also has a useful directory that you can search to find country or region-specific chambers.
