A Guide to Public Administration & Government Jobs Abroad

Why Work in Government Abroad

After you graduate—either from undergraduate or a master's program—it can often be difficult to find a job in your field. Fortunately, the job market is much larger when you broaden your horizons to include other countries. When working abroad, you bring to your position language skills and a cultural perspective that might otherwise be taken for granted back home, so you might land more competitive jobs abroad than you would without traveling.

If you’ve studied a second language, but haven’t quite gotten over the hump of becoming fluent, you could use working abroad as an opportunity to really master your language skills. Being bilingual is a big bonus in public administration and government work, so leveraging second language opportunities is one important consideration when scoping out your options.

Not only do you enter a world of possibilities when you direct your job search in public administration abroad, but you increase your future job options by getting the international experience under your belt. When an employer has to choose between you and another candidate, you’ll stand out because they’ll recognize that working in another country was more rigorous, you gained meaningful skills, and you developed deep cultural understanding along with the skills you gained from working abroad.
