Final Thoughts About Working Abroad

In the end, whatever your reasons for wanting an international experience, the result will be to help further your career.

Obtaining some international experience has become key to career advancement in just about any organization. Employers seek cross-cultural competency, defined as an ability to work well in different cultures and with people of different origins -- in a multicultural environment that may or may not be located in the U.S.
