How would you answer this common interview question?
When you're competing with many other applicants who are just as qualified as you, with the same amount of experience, what will set you apart?
In the increasingly globalized workplace, being the applicant with international work experience gives you an advantage. You’ll be able to bring a unique professional experience and help bridge gaps between cultures and countries.
Recent research shows that students who complete a global internship develop higher levels of creative problem-solving, leadership and collaboration during their global education program. Employers rank these skills as in high demand, making you stand out.
