PRINTInternational Career Opportunities
With the current volatility in the job markets both domestically and internationally, it is more important than ever for students to have unique, specialized and practical skills. Students from all kinds of institutions are graduating without substantive experience in their field, and understandably so, it can be difficult for your child to secure an internship that will allow them to gain this vital experience. Education abroad provides your child with substantive experience that they can use toward their job search. Your child’s experience abroad may have sparked an interest in international career opportunities. Undoubtedly, the skills your child learned abroad, such as speaking a foreign language and cross-cultural communication, will serve them well in an international career.
Regardless of what career field your child is interested in, they should incorporate their international experience in their resume and job search. Using study abroad experiences in a job interview, for example, will make your child stand out from other candidates. Study abroad gives your child skills such as cultural sensitivity and cross-cultural communication, which are increasingly important in our globalized world.
