Using Your Study Abroad Experience after Graduation

Your study abroad experience will affect you long after your formal study is completed. There are countless ways to incorporate your international experience into your career field; watch for these opportunities and continue building your international and intercultural experience when you have the chance.

Putting Your Study Abroad
Experience to Work for You

Few people step into a career in international affairs/business. Most people enter at a lower level in the domestic side of a business or organization, so be prepared to work your way into an international position.

While study abroad is a great start to building the international side of your resume, you might want to enhance it by working, participating in an internship, volunteering or attending graduate school abroad. Network both in the U.S. and while you’re abroad. Positions often become available to those who know the right people or are in the right place at the right time.

 

Career Services

A good way to start your search is by consulting Career Services, (414) 288-7423, Holthusen Hall. The Career Services Center at Marquette can help you effectively market your study abroad experience to potential employers.  Click here for advice on how to do so.
