International Information

Traveling, studying, or working in a different country can be one of life's richest experiences. Whether you are a US citizen seeking to work abroad or a foreign national seeking US employment, you need to be aware of opportunities, hiring regulations, application procedures, and business practices unique to that culture.

A resume suitable for US employers may be too brief for those hiring in other countries. A common gesture you make to friends in your culture may be offensive to people of another culture. There are many details to consider when planning to work abroad.

To prepare for all aspects of an international job search, check resources available in the Sylvester Jones Resource Center and consult informative sites such as the ones listed to the right.
