If you are interested in finding a position outside the U.S., whether you are a domestic or an international student, you have an exciting but difficult challenge in front of you. An international job search is always more challenging than one at home--you must be fluent in the culture and the language of the country you are targeting, and employers must be convinced that hiring you is worth the additional effort required to obtain your work visa, a process that can be both complicated and time-consuming.

Select from the Work Abroad categories in the navigation at left for organizations that have hired Olin graduates for positions abroad, international job postings, and career fairs. Utilize the resources in the Career Resources Library for additional lists of alumni abroad and much more. If you are interested in an internship or a short project outside the U.S., consider working through one of the many exchange organizations that organize practical training experiences for students in foreign countries and help with practical details, such as work visas. Many of these organizations are listed in the navigation at left under job search sites, internships. Schedule interviews and visit your target country during one of the school breaks. And meet with Simona Tripodi, Weston Career Center's International Career Advisor, for personalized guidance in your international job search process.

Working abroad is but one of the many ways to get experience in international business. You might also consider working for a multi-national company in the U.S.; working for a U.S. firm that has a presence outside the U.S., is in any way engaged in international business, or has plans to expand internationally; working for a foreign firm inside the U.S.; or working for an international government, educational, or not-for-profit organization. All these situations offer the potential for a future move to a location outside the U.S.
