These skills are critical for managing global recruitment initiatives. Discuss specific instances where you’ve managed competing deadlines or multiple projects efficiently.

3. Customer Service Orientation: Emphasize any experience or transferable skills in providing support to diverse stakeholders, including international students, education agents, or event attendees. This role prioritizes excellent customer service, particularly in an international context.
