It can be hard for a freshly graduated student to get a job of their dreams. However, it can be much easier if you have some valuable skills and experience. For example, studying abroad can help you impress your potential employers and increase your chances of getting a dream job.

Why does it happen? Because many employers think highly of students, who studied abroad during their college years. No matter how many years you spent in a foreign country, it would still be beneficial to you.

Let’s speak about why employers like students who studied abroad so much.

1. They are more independent.

Leaving home for a college campus is challenging enough, but leaving home for another country is even more challenging. Students, who decide to study abroad, are left in a completely foreign country without a serious financial and moral support. Sure, their parents can send them money and their friends can support them when talking on Skype, but that’s still tough. However, if a student decided they still want to face these challenges in order to get a valuable experience, this means a lot for potential employers.

2. They know more languages.

Sure, some students who don’t study abroad can still speak two or three foreign languages, but not all of them. If a student had been studying in a foreign university, this means that they not only know one more foreign language, but also know it well enough to communicate with natives. For companies that plan to work with foreign clients this is very important.

3. They know cultural background of another country.

People, who visited a certain country at least once, can better understand things like country’s cultural background, mentality, levels of politeness, and so on. And people, who spend a lot of time living there, can understand cultural background even better. Companies, who are willing to work with people from a certain foreign country, are interested in employees, who understand such background well enough, as they are able to communicate with foreigners in the right way.

4. They know how to manage their finances.

When one is studying in a foreign country, they need to learn how to manage their finances well; otherwise, they’ll be in trouble. That’s why such students are able to handle money better than ones, who didn’t study abroad.

5. They know how to work (usually).

Yes, many ordinary students combine studies with a part-time job too. However, working in a foreign country is a completely different experience, as one has to communicate in a foreign language all the time, understand the currency differences, and so on. Moreover, foreign students are usually less privileged than local ones, and so they have to work harder to earn a living.

6. They are quick learners.

It can be hard to adapt to other country’s culture even if you are a tourist. Imagine how hard it is for foreign students: they have to learn about cultural differences, local expenses and other important things, and they have to study at the same time. Sure, such circumstances can be stressful, but that is the reason foreign students usually become very quick learners.

7. They are more open to possibilities.

If a student had been studying abroad, this means that they were open to this amazing new experience. This can mean that such student will be open to other possibilities too: for example, will be able to go on a business trip, to change a position, and so on. Moreover, such students are usually more open-minded too, as they have to understand foreign mentality well.

That’s why if you have an opportunity to go study somewhere abroad, you should seize it! This will not only give you unforgettable experience, but will help you with your future career as well.

Looking forward to doing my Msc abroad

Studying abroad may be one of the most beneficial experiences for student. By studying abroad, students have the opportunity to study in a foreign nation and take in the allure and culture of a new land.

Make sure you have a job to return to. Studying abroad is no longer a guarantee for a job.

I beg to disagree, atleast there is always an upper hand compared compared to local schooling.

I shall reward your comment with 1 like

STORY! That was then. Now, locally made certificate OND with connection pass Phd abroad.

I will comment when I finish.
I don't like to keep my customers waiting.

I understand where OP is coming from, although his points are not well explained. Most Nigerians who study in countries where English is not spoken, are in countries like Malaysia and Ukraine. On the world map, these languages are not relevant, so that point is not realistic. If you want to get your money's worth. Go to a country where Mandarin, French, or Dutch dialects are spoken.

Many people who come here to study are unrealistic. If you have a 2:2 and below and you go to an English speaking country for a Post Graduate degree in a non quantitative/analytical field, you will find yourself on square one when you get back to Nigeria. Besides this, most graduate jobs in the UK that are willing to sponsor your tier 2 (work) visa usually ask for 2:1 and above. They also ask for extracurricular and leadership experience like competitive sports or SUG positions, etc. Basically, you need to have your sht together before you start your visa application process.


All the other points about independence are true. Combining school and work is difficult. The recruitment process in the UK for a shop assistant (sales boy/girl) in Marks and Spencer is the same for a banker in Nigeria. If you can get through these hurdles effortlessly, settling down in Nigeria will not be difficult. You can also work full time during holidays and your last four months. With the current exchange rate you should be able to save at least half a million naira. Some people will will use this money to buy iPhone 8. A wise person will come back quietly, keep to themselves and engage in some petty trade till something comes up.

In addition to my last paragraph, if you work in the UK and mix well with the locals, one or two business ideas will pop in to your head from time to time. Not just business ideas but ideas generally. The difference between the Ojukwus, Azikiwe, Awolowo, Oputas, Kutis and our parents is EXPOSURE.

So person go study finish for Yankee, the mumu go still come back come look for job for 9ja? I dey mad?

If when I enter yankee...If I come back, cut my leg!

I support your reasons

Story....if you like go and waste another 8m abroad..you will still come to naija to hustle with those that went to ajamgbadi schools

EduRegard:
I beg to disagree, atleast there is always an upper hand compared compared to local schooling.

upper what?..be deceiving yourself...na connection sure pass...if you like go harvard..pray for divine connection...enough Ibadan poly students getting good jobs while UI students are jobless

This topic is dead on arrival. Was it not yesterday someone posted on this platform that he spent more than 6million naira for his Masters Degree programme abroad, and he is still unemployed? The painful aspect was that he sold his late dad's land property to pay for the fee.

I strongly disagree with this post.

Interesting

Anywhere u go, make sure you won't depend on NIGERIA for anything you want, you must be MADE before u return

Dear Sir,
this post should have a "Learning View"...what about those who cannot afford to school in this wonderful utopias of cultural integration and decorum.
It is only when we have retired this abroadian way of reasoning and try making our country investor and industry friendly that we would achieve some sort of parity in terms of employment.
Studying abroad is not a "sure-banker" route to gainfully paid employment in Nigeria...it can be compared to winning a visa lottery making anyone a happy "abroadian".

The post is correct in so many ways but have failed to convince me that getting lynched in the streets of Moscow or that of Belgrade will ensure me a guaranteed job in Nigeria.

Digressing a bit, if we gather all the resources used to send all our "brained" students abroad to get most of these notable academicians from the land of the "abroadians" to a central prime academic government institution in Nigeria; tell me if the products from such institutions will not be world class.

As a card-carrying "dialist" working in the land of the "abroadians" I say "The race is not unto the swift...".
I humbly ask that I don't get trolled.
Best regard,
WilliamXII.


p.s. I reserve the right to edit my post to reflect my current state of mind... egbukwalam biko!

We really need people who will go abroad and study.. Come back to Naija and establish employment opportunities for others.
Not some people that we come and drag the few jobs left
