Returnee Welcome Week - Marketing Study Abroad
Monday, September 12, 2022
9:00 pm - 11:59 pm
Living or studying internationally has proven to lead to better job prospects and higher salaries. Students who study abroad gain a competitive edge in the global marketplace and boost their resume for any job field. Still today, only 10% of U.S. students nationwide study abroad. Therefore, this experience truly sets students apart.
Similar to improved employability, study abroad also helps students develop skills necessary for career success in the 21st century. This includes but is not limited to communication, confidence, adaptability, intercultural competencies, foreign language, problem solving, and self-awareness. These are great skills that will not only help students get hired, but also help with employment retention and promotions.
However, it's not just about having the experience itself, it is important to know how to articulate your experiences and market them to future employers. As part of our Returnee Welcome Week, the Office for Study Abroad welcomes our study abroad returnees to join us in this session in collaboration with ESIA Career Services and study abroad alumni (recent graduates) to learn more about resume development, interview preparedness, and other skills to transform their experience into career opportunities.
Learn how to sell your study abroad skills and make yourself a more eligible candidate for future employers or graduate school applications!
