International mobility and hidden skills: promote yourself

International mobility teaches you specific skills and know-how. But your employers often don't know how to identify them. Find out how to promote them!

Well-hidden skills

According to many studies, international study stays bring collaborators specific skills and knowledge. Employers often have a positive opinion on mobility experiences, but they don't know how to link them with the skills fostered by these experiences.

Most visible skills

Not all these skills are hidden. Linguistic skills and cultural approach of an experience abroad are the most obvious. Concerned collaborators or applicants are also often considered "well-mannered": they are more tolerant and open-minded.

Skills to promote

Other less visible skills are acquired by people in mobility: productivity, resilience and curiosity. You should promote these talents to your employers when applying for a job or in regular internal interviews. They are major assets in today's working environment.
