A Piece of Advice for Studying Abroad and International Job Applications
Most graduate job seekers miss out employment opportunities abroad not because they are unsuitable for the position but are not aware of the application and interview process of that particular country.
Secondly, many applicants fail to demonstrate clearly the skills and knowledge areas. This is a serious issue for the majority of the Indian students. They should assess their own strengths and skill sets before applying. They must highlight these throughout the interview process starting with the job application letter
You should think about your interests, and then the career opportunities and job prospects. It could be disastrous to pursue a particular field just because it's trending (like Data Science, Industrial Psychology or Robotics) or even worse – your classmate or cousin is doing the same thing (Engineering, MBBS, and MBA etc.).
