Building a Career
Studying or interning abroad looks good on résumés. With the increase in globalization, companies are seeking potential employees with previous experiences abroad to tap into their international knowledge and foreign language skills. Along with this knowledge, companies also value the skills developed from studying abroad: communication skills, analytical skills, flexibility, working as part of a team, cultural contexts and understanding, the ability to adapt to foreign concepts, and a multifaceted worldview. In addition, the skills that make you marketable to companies also make you more attractive to graduate schools.
