What Sets You Apart?

As the economy continues to sour and the unemployment outlook worsens, it is becoming more important to differentiate yourself from the millions of others entering the workforce each year and the countless others who have already been there for years. Let's be frank. As a university graduate, particularly one with a liberal arts degree that brings little to no immediate value or return on investment to a prospective employer, you are not as competitive an applicant as someone with even a year of experience or perhaps a more focused, skills-based university degree.

Complimenting your academic experience with an internship is a no brainer, something that will provide some skills training while also enhancing your resume immensely. The image above highlights the value of such experience through an analogy using stacks of resumes. Hopefully you can read what is beneath each stack but it essentially is asking which stack you are in and why would an employer consider you a unique candidate for a job?

Getting an internship is one thing, getting one abroad is something entirely different, and getting the RIGHT internship is probably the most important consideration. When looking for an internship, be sure you know what you are getting into and exactly what to expect.

Global Experiences is second to none globally in matching the best applicant to the best employer, particularly in an international context. By assessing your academic background, career objectives, language proficiency, where you want to be in 5 years, and other essential variables, an internship is sourced to best meet the needs and expectations of each applicant.
