出国留学对职业发展的7大优势

Submitted by sponsored.cont… on Thu, 03/02/2017 - 10:44

来源:欧盟商学院

想要在全球产生影响? 你是否希望在学习期间旅行 而又不影响 自己的教育和职业生涯?

继续阅读,以获取欧盟商学院 (EU Business School) 关于外国留学的好处简单直率的建议。欧盟商学院是一所影响深远的商学院,在日内瓦, 蒙特勒, 巴塞罗那慕尼黑设有校区,并与在世界范围内的各个合作高校进行交流。

1.  建立全球联系人脉网络

最好的国际大学努力增加其课程的价值,并了解由在全球各地担任行政职务的高影响力校友组成的响应性校友网络的好处。

在国外学习期间,您将通过您的大学建立联系——同时也通过其合作大学建立联系。例如,欧盟商学院与五大洲的顶尖大学合作,让学生有机会参加交流项目,并从附属大学获得进一步的资格。点击这里发现欧盟商学院合作大学的完整列表。

2.  成为问题解决者

通过在国外生活和学习,你将学会出门在外如何养家糊口。从跟当地医生那里注册挂号,到从头开始用并不熟悉的食材做饭,或者如果您将自己困在门外,需要用外语打电话给锁匠,你将不断被迫采取行动并解决问题!自然而然,在业务领域中运用冷静,务实和解决问题的才能将变得越来越容易。

3. 为国际职业而留学

无论你在欧盟商学院哪个校园中学习,都可以有机会代表你周围的100多个国籍。与来自世界各地的人们会面,实际上你会变得更加聪明,因为你一定会遇到挑战自己信念的机会,并能接触到各种文化和习俗。

最重要的是你的课程将训练您理解全球范围内广泛的业务环境和需求,并为您提供在世界其他地方度过一两个学期留学的机会。

有了所有这些经验,出国留学后,申请国际工作变得更加容易。 你将有很多经验可以值得跟大家分享!

4.  大幅度优化您的简历

无论你打算在一家国际公司工作还是要进入非营利组织,政府机构,国际商业或金融等领域,出国留学都可以优化你的履历。招聘人员重视在国外学习所培养的技能和属性包括适应性,韧性和独立性,以及为在多元文化环境中工作而需要的准备。

5.  学习一门新语言


招聘人员对语言的需求很高。在2017年,会说西班牙语,法语,德语或普通话是一种巨大的财富。好消息呢?欧盟商学院在日内瓦,蒙特勒,巴塞罗那和慕尼黑设有校区,并在上海,北京和深圳有课程。

在欧盟商学院,98%的学生和教职员都会说两种以上的语言。加入他们成为其中一员吧!虽然所有课程都以英语授课,但仍有很多的机会选择学习一种新的语言。如果你真的想学习一种新语言的话,那么在你居住的国家没有比这更好的选择。

6.  打动研究生院招生委员会

希望在某处寻求其他资质吗?在国外一所著名大学修完本科学位,将帮助您在招生人员那里获得加分。像雇主一样,学者们也非常重视通过出国留学而获得的技能,因此他们一定会很感兴趣地了解您在该学科上获得的新观点。

7.  避免间隔年的费用 

在开始第一份工作之前花点时间旅行可能听起来很有吸引力,但是这是一种奉献。因为当你尝试进入就业市场时,你就会被留在后面选择。作为一名毕业生,你的期望会随着你开始职业生涯的等待时间的延长而消失。假期结束后,你可能会发现您需要攻读硕士学位或学习短期课程才能获得面试机会。

为什么不要直接通过出国留学一箭双雕?还不用浪费一年的时间甚至负债呢?在平常的周末以及每学期之间你将有很多机会探索这个国家和更广阔的地区——始终保持强大的支持网络以确保您从国外获得最大的收益。
