Recently, several students have come to you and expressed interest in working in other countries. You know that the job search process is different in other parts of the world. In particular, the document that gets a person an interviewthe resumediffers a great deal depending on the country or region.
You think that the idea of working overseas is intriguing, and youd like to help students at Sam learn more about writing resumes for international jobs. Youve also started to think about looking for jobs overseas yourselfso you might use this information, too!
