WHICH MATTERS MORE ABROAD?

You have a good degree. You have some work experience. But then you start looking for opportunities abroad and realise something… Employers and institutions may also want to know what you can actually DO. Maybe you studied Accounting but have strong data analysis skills. Maybe you studied Mass Communication but have experience in digital marketing, content creation or social media management. Maybe your degree is completely different from the job you’re interested in, but you’ve built the skills needed for that career.

So, when it comes to finding opportunities abroad, what do you think matters more?

A. My degree and qualifications

B. My practical skills and experience

C. BOTH : the combination is what matters

D. It depends on the country and opportunity

Let’s hear your honest opinion:

If you had to choose between someone with a strong degree but little practical experience and someone with strong skills but a different degree, who would you choose to hire?
