Now that you are back from your international experience, spend some time evaluating the skills you gained while abroad. After some self-evaluation, think about ways to articulate your experiences in job interviews, graduate school application processes, etc. The packet and resource links below gives some tips, examples, and resources to help you. The Isabella Cannon Global Education Center also gives some workshops and a focused transitions course on these topics. Contact the GEC if you would like more information on a future workshop or course.
