What are the job prospects abroad for a United States citizen?
Answer. About one in 10 U.S. graduates accept positions outside the country immediately after graduation. In 2007/2008, 16% of U.S. graduates accepted positions abroad. Companies seeking to fill positions throughout the world focus on functional skills, interests, and cultural and language proficiencies. They often hire graduates who are either citizens of a specific country, have permanent work authorization in a country or region, or have prior living and/or work experiences in that part of the world. Remember, Thunderbird has more than 36,000 alumni working in more than 140 countries — many of whom began their careers in their home country.
