1. Be so good that they can’t ignore you
International students often ponder over not one but many questions:
👉How can I make myself seen or considered for better roles?
👉How can I stand out?
👉 How do I grow in this organization?
👉 How can I make a tiny difference in the community?
👉Should I blend in or stand out from the rest?
📍The answer is within each one of you.
- Show up regularly
- Share your story: Failures and accomplishments
- Focus on learning continuously
- Ask questions
- Celebrate your small wins
- Be compassionate to yourself and others
