Indonesian Coal

I've just returned from a business trip to Jakarta where I met with a number of mining companies. Business is booming in Indonesia and there are no signs of it slowing down anytime soon.

It was my first time doing business in Indonesia and it was quite the experience. Hectic traffic and heavy security screening coupled with the language barriers made it challenging but very interesting at the same time. My trip gave me a great insight into the expat life and what challenges lay in recruiting people for Indonesia. I met a range of expats; accountants, mining professionals, O&G professionals and everyone spoke highly of the lifestyle and benefits afforded to expats working in Indonesia.

I came out with a couple of jobs and a couple of new contacts and am looking forward to doing more business in the South East Asian region.
