Many students think how should study abroad is more worth full so below are the top 5 ways how studying abroad add more weight-age to your resume:

	1. Study abroad cultivates global thinking: 

	In a world where each society is gradually becoming more global, a well-traveled and well-read person is an invaluable asset. While studying abroad, you will be given the chance to further your academic study in a foreign country. There are a variation of programs which engross you directly or indirectly in a foreign culture and language, Globalizing yourself may help you understand how you, as an individual, fit into this world. Studying abroad urges students to see the advantage in global networks. Studying abroad helps us to sustain a universal knowledge into contemplating, into business and into personal life itself. You may have the capacity to convey a worldwide wind to another work extend, or use associations you made in the field. On the other hand maybe studying abroad basically made you worldlier and more mindful. Companies give more preference to students with an international background. This is also in part, owing to the fact that societies are becoming more global and commercial establishments are at the pole position of this phenomenon.

		2. Study abroad builds confidence.

		This is one of the most important potential benefits of a study abroad experience. So much of study abroad involves being placed in situations where you have no idea about what you should do & what the right or socially acceptable conduct is. Lost passports, stolen baggage, being stranded in an airport, running out of vital medication are foolproof ways to increase confidence and faith in one's own ability. It's hard to see at the moment, but by the time you return from study abroad, you will have an amazing list of accomplishments and challenges met. The capacity to overcome these challenges will determine the strength of the residue that is left behind when life’s luck and fortune have evaporated. With a study abroad experience on your resume, employers will know that you have that “just do it” attitude to life that separates you from the “thinkers” and makes you a “doer”

			3. Study abroad makes you more open-minded.

			While studying & obviously living abroad, many things happen that you never would have predicted before. It fosters the ability to approach change with an open-mind and learn how to stay calm when they can’t predict the outcome of a given situation. This will be particularly useful for employers who are looking for someone who can think on their feet.

			Getting inundated with different ideas on a day to day basis, would increase your horizons and broaden your mind. Coming across people and students of different cultures and backgrounds and also having the opportunity to interact with a global community of thinkers and academics, these experiences would shape up your worldview. We would not only be able to think the way people do in our country but also, because of our exposure to the people of other nations, we would be privy to their way of thinking too.

				4. Study abroad helps develop your organization skills.

				Research has connected positive impacts between the study abroad experience and skill development as there are many aspects of studying abroad that require you to be rigorously organized and this practical experience will serve you for the rest of your life because there's a huge part of study abroad that takes place outside the classroom, and the experience is about far more starting from the moment you got your acceptance letter to coming back to your motherland. It also demands the ability to plan and be proactive.

				Employers are always interested in your personal growth and skills & your expertise in cross-cultural and organization may become an asset when working on any multi-cultural team in the professional world. Studying abroad also shows employers that you are able to adapt to new settings, and aren’t afraid of change.

					5. Study abroad makes you more independent.

					Learning to function without the safety net of parents, friends and the university support system can be a steep learning curve at first, but it's also an important step in establishing independence. You have to create a life for yourself in another country, make friends, find your classes, open a bank account and familiarize yourself with another culture. This will prove indispensable to employers who are looking for self-motivated candidates who can flourish in new environments because these universities expect students to be able to take charge of their own learning experiences and be responsible without daily reminders so by the end of the semester, student will be far more responsible and able to get things done without expecting help or guidance from others. You’ll most likely return home a wiser individual and ready to face any future challenges head on.
