The Council Exchange s relationship with certain countries allows students the entrance to find a new job. However, most of the jobs involve the service industry and most jobs only last for three to four months. Council Exchange, a subsidiary of the Council on International Educational Exchange, also offers chances for internships and a teaching position in China. A student s experience abroad, either working or studying, means a better chance in finding a job, according to Stein.

Students should also look into companies that have offices overseas and the possibilities for employment abroad.
