“My advice for students is to strengthen their self-awareness, and decide if an international career is for them!”

Why choose an international career?
I chose an international career since I have always wanted to live abroad; I love traveling and trying new challenges. I cannot think of anything that came as a culture shock, apart from the language barriers initially, when I arrived in France (except getting used to the stores being closed on Sunday!).

I had to adapt, but being open-minded helped me on the way. Naturally, you have to embrace diversity, and cannot expect that everything should be like at home. You have to broaden your horizons and connect with local friends. I would suggest starting with participation in study abroad, to get a taste of living away from your home.

Later when you start to work, it is good to choose an international or foreign company so that international opportunities are available. Let the company know that you are willing to go the extra mile, and sign up for international projects. It is a big effort and may take time, but very rewarding!

A tip for setting yourself apart during the original application process when searching for a career? Sending in a hard copy resume (CV) through the post the old-fashioned way helps - this is what I did to get started on my career!
