Thinking about ways to make yourself stand out from other
candidates? Ever considered a study
abroad experience? Traveling to, and
spending some time in another country demonstrates many skills and traits
valued by employers at home as well as abroad.
As our workplace continues to become more global, having the
skill to communicate with diverse populations becomes more and more important. Travelers
must be adaptable and able to deal with stress, uncertainty and change. Journeying
to another country shows courage, curiosity, and a sense of adventure. Resourcefulness
and the ability to plan, manage time and solve problems.
Being able to describe
your study abroad experience on your resume and in interviews and to focus on
your accomplishments, achievements and the results of your study abroad
experience can definitely set you apart from other candidates.
Make an appointment with Career Services to learn more about
how to use your study abroad experience to benefit you in your job search.
