Resume:

There are generally three categories within your resume where you can include your international experiences:

  • Education: if you studied or completed coursework abroad, as well as any research done abroad
  • Experience: if you worked or volunteered outside of Canada
  • Skills: if you gained unique skills from having an international background or have been exposed to different sets of cultural skills

Cover Letter:

You may be able to talk about how your international experience gave you the skills to meet the requirements of the position if that is the case. 

Interviews:

During the interview, you can include your international experience in any questions such as, “Tell me about yourself” or, “What interests you about the position.” Stories about your international experiences might be called upon to demonstrate your skills and behaviour.
