Do Your Research

NC Kenan-Flagler's Office of International Programs (OIP) (www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/ip/) is the nerve center for internships, career advice, resume preparation, assignment searches and interview skills around the world. Helpful sources of information from OIP:

• Expatriates themselves, especially those from your assignment's country, are invaluable.
• Cultural Adaptability Inventory Systems can measure your likelihood of success in adapting to a new culture.
• Web sites: Culturegram.com, Economist.com.
• Use search engines combining terms such as "cost-of-living" and "London."
