Career Fair is right around the corner! The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences �� office is here to help you market your study abroad experience to employers to earn your dream summer internship or even a fulltime job!

Studying abroad in college has many benefits including making your resume stand out for future employers, creating a global network, developing valuable life and technical skills, and gaining a global perspective.

When creating your resume, it is important to include action words such as exchanged, immersed, adapted, cultivated, etc. Action words are used to highlight your skills, involvement, and impact and help you avoid overused lingo.

Combining action verbiage with skills and competencies will put you on the right track for career success! When answering questions, composing a cover letter, or creating a resume, be sure to include how studying abroad impacted your interpersonal, intrapersonal, communication and adaptability skills!

When answering questions at the career fair or in an interview, be sure to include your experience abroad and how it has impacted you personally and professionally. By using action words and clearly stating what skills and competencies you gained from studying abroad, you can set yourself apart from other applicants!

Be sure to include study abroad experiences on your resume! Include study abroad information in the Education, International Experience, or Professional Experience sections of your resume. Be sure to include the study abroad program title, location, dates traveled, and a brief description of skills learned while abroad. A concise but descriptive resume ensure that you have room to expand upon your experiences during interviews.

Boosting �� on your Resume

With the AgCareers fair on Tuesday, February 2nd, our office thought we would share a little information about study abroad and resumes, including where you can put study abroad on your resume.

When it comes to creating your resume, you might initially think of adding your contact details, education, and work experiences. However, study abroad is also an important experience that can boost your resume. In the "Beginner vs Experienced Resumes" article, AgCareers.com highlights that skills like knowing a language and being aware of issues around the world are ways to show off your study abroad experience.

The article says that study abroad can be added to the Experience section of your resume, but this is not the only place study abroad can fit on your resume. You can also add study abroad to

Education section- this may be a great fit if you took classes abroad and want to showcase those classes and international experience.
International Experience section- if you've participated on more than one international experience or if you want to emphasize the experience on your resume, then creating an International Experience section could be a good option for you.
Activities section- an activities section could be beneficial if you volunteered or participated in an activity abroad that you want to show on your resume.
Language section- adding a language section could be helpful for those who took intensive language classes abroad or practiced their language while abroad for their major or minor.

If you're unsure how to use study abroad on your resume, our office will host a Marketing Your �� Experience webinar this Spring, which is a great opportunity to learn how study abroad will help you land a job and how to incorporate it in your resume.
