Building Your Global Career

The HBCU Career Center

Prepare yourself for a limitless global career.

As I write this description from my office in Abu Dhabi, I think about what I wish I would’ve known earlier in my college career to better prepare for a global career. This workshop is designed to do just that. We will be going over:<ul><li>Paths of least resistance to create a career that is not limited to the confines of national borders.</li><li>How to network your way into global opportunities.</li><li>Where to look for global opportunities.</li><li>Most importantly, how to prepare yourself for a career that is limitless. </li></ul>These are gems that I picked up over my five and half years of working abroad and my 14 years since graduating from Cheyney University of Pennsylvania.Some of the pre-work that is worth doing in preparation for this workshop is to build a LinkedIn profile, think of 3 countries you would like to work in, and to have a draft of your resume ready.About Garvin ReidGarvin Reid is an Assistant Director of Employer Relations at New York University Abu Dhabi.
