    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.
