TODAY’S QUESTION

Josh asks, “I feel as though my international experience is not as valued. Is finding a job more difficult for foreigners?”

Recommendation: It’s definitely more difficult for those with international experience. Here are a few ways you can overcome:

Get a local internship. While many of these at the largest firms are highly competitive, not all are demanded equally. Utilise school job boards and reach out to local companies to see if they can get some help.
- Here is a website that specifically focuses on internships
Re-shape school or volunteer experience. This is especially true when you work on any sort of school project that includes a specific company as a client or stakeholder.
Work at a startup. This is a great way to get local experience, with the added ability to work flexible and potentially have a job after graduation.

Conclusion:

Trying to compete with local candidates can be overwhelming so it is best to do whatever you can to find local experience.
