Listen up ladies! If you want to break through the glass ceiling sooner, consider working for awhile in a foreign country. In a recent survey of successful, professional women, 100 percent say they would recommend working abroad to others.

Granted, 91 percent of the women surveyed are already working abroad or looking to do so, according to a study called the Global Professionals on the Move Report 2011 -- which was commissioned by the Hydrogen Group, a recruiting firm. Still, the opinions of those who have been there and done that, can't help but be useful.

They say that working overseas is generally an extremely positive experience, with the vast majority of respondents reporting that it has improved their career prospects, salaries, living conditions and personal development. A full 93 percent who have worked overseas say they would do it again in a heartbeat.
