Guide to choosing the right institution for you
Guide to choosing the right institution for you
If gaining world-class education, traveling around the world and making lifelong friends is your end goal, then the world outside is waiting for you! Education abroad is no longer reserved only for the extraordinarily intelligent ones or the uber-rich section of the society, it is available for all.
But with great choices comes greater confusion. With 23+ years of expertise, Touchstone has a global reputation in counseling students and aligning their passion with their profession. Below are 5 of the many criteria to figure out the institution that best matches your personality.
Select the desired discipline
The first step to studying abroad is to choose a program that resonates with your personal desires. You can start by shortlisting genres you are passionate about while assessing your strengths and weaknesses. Enquire about all the available course options and program structure. Determining the right program not only helps you to shine academically while launching your career but also keeps you motivated throughout all those early morning lectures and long library periods.
Country preferences
Well, chances are you already picked your favorite destination by now. But if not, you can still sit back and relax, because we are here to do it all for you. In this step, you need to make sure to choose your study destination based on factors like year-round climatic conditions, rights of international students, transportation facilities, visa requirements, career opportunities, cost of living, etc.
University rankings
University rankings are not limited to googling “top 10 universities of the world”. A diverse ranking system is followed by different organizations to list the top institutions in the world. While some include data-driven hierarchies outlining the competition among the top ranking institutions, others consider their academic performance, the expertise of faculties or the internationality to deliver results. In the process, one needs to personally consider the practical factors like building relevant skills required to land ‘the dream job’.
Cost & scholarships
Choosing the most affordable yet best college in the first place is directly proportional to higher returns on investment and is less likely to overburden you with heavy debts in the future. Understand the fee structure of your selected institutions and the financial aid available to make the best decision (also consider the salary rate after graduating from the institution in question). Study abroad expenses include accommodation costs, entertainment, food, phone bills, commute, etc. The best way to cut down this final tally is to apply for grants and scholarships offered by banks in your home country.
5 easy ways to land your dream job abroad
5 easy ways to land your dream job abroad
With companies going international, there are opportunities all around us! Options are manifold, ranging across industries, captivating all sorts of job seekers. Speaking the right language, having the required mindset and the will to take risks are a few of the essentials that’ll help you prepare for working abroad.
While talking about such a process with abundant pathways, let us look at some of the most meaningful ones to make “working abroad” work for you.
Attend job fairs
Searching your locality for ‘overseas job fairs’ is a good way to start. Keep an eye out on social media platforms like LinkedIn, etc. for interesting events. Besides, a google search using phrases like ‘job fair overseas’ along with your current city name might also help you find at least one of these nearby. Events like career workshops & job fairs help you introduce yourself to target companies on a personal level. Receive feedback on your updated resume, improve your profile, discover relevant companies and learn about their presence abroad while forming useful connections during every event.
Make social media your best friend
Do not restrict your social media usage to entertainment purposes only! It is one of the most valuable assets to boost visibility & reputation. To be more discoverable via your LinkedIn profile, start including appropriate keywords like jobseeker, new opportunities, new challenges, etc. Throughout these channels, you can always build your professional value by branding your personality & work experiences.
Spread the word
Are you an outspoken person? Great! Finding connections & talking about employment opportunities face-to-face shouldn’t be a problem for you. But if you are an introvert, going beyond the guidebooks, finding out the nitty-gritties & expanding your network is recommended. Some important and pertinent advice from people you already know might also give your job hunting a boost.
Volunteer
The act of returning to society isn’t really restricted to your community back home. Take your passion for a cause, offer the skills that hosts are looking for and be part of something important & meaningful while creating memories. Even though your experiences won’t be paid, the cross-cultural communication practices you’ll encounter will value more than your first paycheck. Since there is so much to gain from being a volunteer overseas, you must definitely give a shot at this one option.
Freelance/Digital nomad
Did you know there exists a way to find jobs abroad without actually being ‘hired’ by the said company? Freelancing is the answer here! Earn money & grow clients: all while traveling the world (legal work rules might vary from country to country, make sure to check the regulations before enrolling).
Writer, designer, photographer, and vlogger are some of the many jobs to do as a digital nomad. If working 9-to-5 in a cubicle does not lure you, then becoming a digital nomad is the solution to following your passion. It is an ideal lifestyle for self-starting entrepreneurs looking for flexible working schedules.
When it comes to finding the best job abroad, there is no one shoe that fits all. No matter whether you are looking for jobs post-college or want a mid-career shift, it is never too late to start your dream career in your dream country. Besides the above-mentioned, the other classic ways to a sustainable job search are a positive attitude, a taste for adventure & the ability to adapt.
But before you jet off to your dream country, make sure to consult a Touchstone expert to get it all together.
Happy hunting!

Best part-time jobs to survive in the USA
Whether you are a parent and want a career without full-time hours or a college student or retiree looking to earn some extra cash, a part-time career may fit the bill. Sometimes part-time jobs are just a means to survive, while other times they are your dream jobs.
Whatever be your reasons, part-time pay does not always have to be poor in a dead-end job. There are many fulfilling jobs out there that pay reasonably well. Let us look at some of such opportunities in the USA.
Dental Hygienist
Working part-time at a dentist’s clinic is all fun and games as long as you get along well with the dentist you work for. The daily responsibilities include examining patients for any signs of oral problems like gingivitis and offering preventive care and good oral hygiene. Explore resources for employment opportunities & their wages as per state and the area of occupation to earn well. Working at a dentist’s office will probably include working only on weekdays as they usually remain shut on weekends.
Interpreter & Translator
Interpreters and translators usually work in school, courtroom or conference settings. Depending on the type of assignment, this job can be stressful at times due to the involvement of sensitive and technical information, which if not relayed correctly can become a major problem. You can enter this industry with only a bachelor's degree, provided you have accurate fluency in two languages (one of them being English). Increasing globalization and the diverse US population reflect the growth of this industry and demand is likely to remain strong all this while.
Nail Technician
Manicure and pedicure are a few of the luxuries that have turned into necessities these days. Here comes the requirement of a nail technician who will have to clean, trim, file and polish fingernails and toenails in salons, barbershops or sometimes even at home. This being a sitting job, you will find yourself relaxed at the end of the day, but mostly hunched throughout the day. As a part-time nail technician, be prepared to work all sorts of hours as they are mostly open in the evenings and also on weekends.
Recreation & Fitness worker
‘Work hard for people who play hard’: if this is your motto then recreation and fitness worker is your thing. This umbrella term has many professions under it, that being camp counseling, aerobic instructor, recreation leader, etc. Primary responsibilities include serving as a yoga trainer or overseeing activities like kayaking, horseback riding, hiking, etc. You might typically need a high school diploma or an equivalent to qualify and will be required to work outdoors more often than not.
Babysitting
One of the most in-demand jobs in the USA is babysitting. This job includes a lot of responsibility as you are left in charge of children as young as six months to toddlers. Babysitters are usually appointed in the absence of parents and thus are responsible not only for the kid but the house as well. To top that up, you might be allowed a few rules of yourself to be agreed upon by the parent and the child.
Part-time jobs offer maximum flexibility to spend time with family and friends, while having a decent source of income, following your passion and continuing your studies. If you are a student, you can always browse the institution's website or join student unions for better job opportunities.
