Resources for Non-U.S. Job Search
As you consider career opportunities in your home country and/or other countries, it is very important to understand cultural traditions and job search conventions in those countries. Recruiting cycles, key skillsets, resume/cover letter writing, and interview preparation strategies may be different from those in the U.S. Become familiar with job sites that are popular at the country and connect with alumni and acquaintances who work there, preferably in the areas of your interest, to learn more about the job search process and opportunities.
The Global Career Opportunity (GCO) series of events, hosted by The Career Center, showcases job markets outside the U.S. and connects students with country-specific job market information and professionals. Connecting with alumni clubs in your home country is also useful because many international alumni clubs hold networking and career events for current students.
