When I was chosing my location for study abroad, I had in mind the following information: Employers globally are seeking new employees who are cross-culturally competent and who have had experience living in a different country. They are looking for employees who can communicate well with people from all over the world, both in language and in writing. Studying abroad will show future employers a students maturity and reliability. It will show their ability to cope with a new environment and demonstrate ability for a student to stand on ones own two feet.
I wasn't very confident in going to a country that didn't speak English as a primary language, and I wanted to go somewhere that would catch an employer's attention. Australia was a place that I didn't know much about, and it definitely caught my attention. I chose Australia because it was a country on the opposite side of the world, and I thought that my work experience there could benefit my future employer. Australia is influenced a lot by American media and I knew that having worked there, I could bring knowledge from a different part of the world and feedback about what they think about our media. I also thought the weather was ideal and the economy was stable.
