Post subject: Danish degree in the US |
|
|
I am currently studying for my Bachelor of Science in International Business
here in Denmark (which i finish this summer). Afterwards I would like to
pursue a Masters of Science in B-2-B Relations Management also here in
Denmark. I am currently living in Denmark with my American girlfriend and we
plan on moving to the US after graduation. The big question is then: will I
be able to get a job in the US? As of now, I don't have any relevant work
experience besides having been a tutor/instructor one semester in Statistics
and Macroeconomics (which probably isn't directly relevant - if at all).
My Bachelor of Science degree consists of one third economics (Micro/Macro,
international), one third business (Finance, International Marketing,
Strategy, Accounting), and one third tool subjects (Stats, Methodology,
Marketing Research, Mathematics, Law etc.). Its a three-year degree and I
have recieved good grades.
With regard to my masters degree, it will deal with the relations between
suppliers and customers. Main subjects will be Business Marketing, Supply
Chain Management, and International Marketing Management. Both programs are
taught in English.
What are my chances of landing a job in the US? In particular, how do
Americans percieve foreign degrees? I think my English is good, but of
course I have an accent even though my girlfriend says that I am very easy
to understand. Will this be a problem? If I wanted to get some work
experience while going to school in the form of a study job or internship,
what would be best? |

HI!,
getting work experience in will never hurt. But, the education you have will
most certainly fulfill any formal criteria anywhere in the world. it is
"just" a matter of finding someone who is willing to hire you :-)
BTW, I guess getting a work *permit* will be the harder part ....
Cheers, Andy (from Germany) |

I know, but that is a different issue altogether  We have been living
together for 3½ years and plan on getting married at some point. Otherwise I
would have to find some company to sponser me which probably will prove
difficult as I am not allowed to look for work while visiting. |
