DESCRIPTION
Career search tips for international students.
Citation preview
If you are interested in an internship abroad it will require extra steps, so start searching early and have patience.
Include your international experiences or language abilities on your resume. Describe in more detail in your cover letter.
Insider Advice
Only apply to organiza-tions which are reputa-ble and in countries with no US travel advi-sories.
Tap into the NU Net-work abroad. Alumni may be a valuable source of information about employment in your country of interest.
Hiring Cycle Professional Associations
Applying for internships in another country is something you can do throughout the academic year, however, because you may need extra paperwork and arrangements it is best to apply at least 4 months ahead of your proposed departure time.
Services exist to help “place” you in internships abroad, however, these companies charge fees for their services.
Utilize Professional Associations for industry research, identify-
ing potential employers, and developing your network. as a
