We know the path to securing an international career is rarely straight. We’ve developed a site, Global Guide, for alumni and students to help with the search for the perfect job. Please let us know if it helped with your job search and help us fill in the gaps when you see an obvious resource missing. Also, our students will value your mentorship so let us know if you can help with securing internships and volunteer opportunities at your current place of employment. We rely on alumni to provide us with information about their careers, accomplishments, and further education. |
