Study Abroad


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.
