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.
