How to Turn Study Abroad Into a Career Advantage
November 13
noon

Studied abroad? Planning to? Wondering how the experience can actually help you in your career?  Join us for the Study Abroad Career Panel. Hear directly from UO alumni working across different industries about how employers view study abroad and how students can talk about their international experiences in ways that are meaningful to future employers.  

The conversation will center on one important question: If you were hiring someone, how would you want that candidate to explain the value of studying abroad during an interview?

 Students will hear perspectives on how to:

 • Talk about study abroad in an interview without sounding generic

• Connect an international experience to jobs that are not always internationally focused

• Identify the skills developed abroad that employers value

• Understand the kinds of follow-up questions employers may ask

• Avoid common mistakes when discussing international experiences

• Make the most of time abroad so you return with experiences you can use professionally

Whether you have already studied abroad or are still considering it, this panel will help you think more intentionally about how an international experience can support your future career.

November 13
1:30–3:30 p.m.

Professor Ha will present a talk about his recent book Late Industrialization, Tradition, and Social Change in South Korea (University of Washington Press, 2024).

Prof. Ha will discuss in particular the phenomenon of "neofamilism" by which the Korean state promoted industrialization by relying on kinship networks to channel capital into chaebol corporations.

Guest speaker: Yong Chool Ha, Director, Center for Korean Studies, Korean Foundation Professor of Korean Social Science, University of Washington Event sponsors: Myung Sup Lim Lecture Series in Korean Studies, US-Vietnam Research Center, Department of Political Science, and Department of Sociology.
