Investing in International
Student Success

Gaining Essential Intercultural


Skills for Your Job Search

Students from different reaches of the


world attend the Olin Business School. All
share a few commonalities: Talent,
achievements and potential. Because of
the highly competitive nature of the US
job market, weve joined forces with a
nationally recognized expert who has
successfully coached international
students at leading US business schools
toward job search success.

The strong interpersonal component of


the US job search demands cultural
awareness and an understanding of US
expectations.
Recruiters report soft skills as the #1
need for development among
international students.
Conveying confidence, competence and
cultural fit are key in interviews and
networking.
Storytelling is a critical job search skill.
