This document outlines Brooke Roberts' presentation on how to land a job in international education. It discusses common challenges job seekers face, such as not getting responses after applying to many jobs. It then provides tips in 6 steps: 1) Become an expert in international education; 2) Find a niche area to specialize in; 3) Build professional networks by helping others; 4) Develop hard skills employers need; 5) Gain experience through volunteer work; 6) Focus on personal branding rather than just resumes. Brooke also promotes her online "Global Pro Institute" program for professional development training and support landing an international education job.
