Northeastern’s partnership with GoinGlobal has recently come to an end. However, there are still plenty of alternative resources on the career hub that can advance your job search and perform similar functions. GoinGlobal is well known for its focus on helping job seekers find opportunities abroad and at home. However, it separates itself by having local insights for jobs across the globe, allowing new grads and international students to gain deep knowledge about job openings no matter the location. This is where the career hub can help, with a variety of internationally focused job boards and associations that have postings not found easily on the largest websites.
Three Great Alternatives to GoinGlobal
- Myvisajobs: If you are an international student that wants to work in the United States after graduating, Myvisajobs is the best place to look. You can search for jobs based on databases that show which jobs provide sponsorship for your visa status. The website also has the function of matching jobs based on skills and preferences, allowing for international workers to gain access to a larger range of opportunities than what their major suggests.
- Idealist: If you are someone looking for a social-impact career across the globe, Idealist is the best place to find opportunities. With 1.2 million jobs and 200,000 internships in over 180 countries, Idealist is the largest non-profit focused job board in the United States. Similarly to GoinGlobal, Idealist provides local listings with a global focus, allowing for job seekers to learn about a non profit’s mission in detail to truly understand their focus. In addition, the ability to filter by different cause areas is helpful for applicants that want to focus on a specific non-profit sector.
- IPMA: If you are interested in project development across the globe, the international project management association is for you. The IPMA offers certifications that are internationally recognized in project management. This is perfect for someone who wants to be involved in multinational organizations, such as the United Nations. The platform also allows for idea sharing and networking for internationally inclined graduates that want to explore opportunities across the globe.
