Leveraging Experience Abroad to Get the Job

Jan/08 Fri 01:00PM-02:00PM 4-159

Enrollment: Unlimited: Advance sign-up required

This interactive session will provide an opportunity for students who have participated in OR are considering participating in global experiences to explore how these present an advantage to their candidacy during the job search. We will consider employer perspectives, alumni perspectives, and current student perspectives on what can be learned by going abroad and how it can be translated into life skills. Strategies for adding global experiences to resumes and discussing these experiences while interviewing will be discussed. Advanced registration requested via CareerBridge.
