Creating a Resume
When employers are reviewing resumes submitted by job candidates, employers evaluate candidates' skills and qualifications in order to select candidates for interviews who have most effectively marketed their skills and experiences in their resume to best match the job description. Thus, job-seekers who have studied abroad should try to set themselves apart from other candidates by marketing their background and skills in a way that reflects their time abroad.
Below are resources for helping study abroad participants with drafting a resume:
