- Language: Which languages do you speak besides English? Think creatively about roles, industries, and companies where your language skills could be put to use.
- Bicultural: By living and studying in the U.S., you’re learning a second set of cultural attitudes and customs. Bicultural individuals can evaluate problems and creatively identify opportunities from different perspectives. Think creatively about roles, industries, and companies where your bicultural skills could be put to use.
- Global Mindset: You are open and aware of the diversity of cultures and markets internationally, and most likely think about business on a global scale.
- Adaptable: You’ve had to adapt to a new culture and you are probably succeeding in it because of your ability to observe others, be okay with ambiguity, ask good questions, network, and learn quickly. In the workplace, each organization will have a unique company culture and being adaptive will come more naturally to you.
- Exposure to diverse educational systems: What were the standards and rigor of your education in your home country? Which subjects were more emphasized (math, sciences, additional languages)? You may not initially think about these skillsets as unique, but they can set you apart from your competition.
