While considering such positions, our coaches are here to help ensure that ambitious international students like you see beyond the “technical” or “hard” competencies needed to build such trajectories, and also focus on mastering the myriad “power” skills that will foster your success in these career paths, including written and verbal communication skills, analytical and critical thinking skills, teamwork and leadership, curiosity and initiative, innovation, and many more.

Here’s hoping that the “environmental climate” of your weekend is pleasant!
