Career Post

Earlier in the semester, I attended the Study Abroad Fair at Baruch College. It was a good experience for me, especially because studying abroad is something I have always wanted to do. Everybody there was super helpful to me because they provided a lot of helpful, and useful information about the variety of study abroad programs that were offered.

I also learned about all the different types of programs offered for credits. They have one year programs, one semester programs, as well as winter and summer programs. For myself, I think I would benefit the most from doing either a winter or spring program just because I plan on trying to get a job or an internship in the city very soon.

I also learned that a lot of the study abroad programs have study abroad internships, which would be a really unique and fun experience. That would definitely benefit me career wise because it would give me a different kind of work experience and maybe even an advantage. It would strengthen my resume and would probably be an aspect that a lot of people can offer to potential future employers.

I think I would really enjoy doing a study abroad internship program in a European country such as Ireland, England, or Italy. I am very familiar with the cultures here because I am all of these ethnicities. I am currently in school to be an accountant, and by doing an internship program in a professional setting abroad, would look really great for me because it would provide me very unique, very diverse experience with people of a different culture and possibly even a different language, which would be a great aspect to be able to improve upon. I look forward to hopefully participating in one of these study abroad internships very soon!
