[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does it work for students who want to spend junior year abroad?  Can this be done remotely via skype or do you need to be close to the career office so you are checking the job listings.[/quote]

I had the same question as you.  As it turned out, not a need to be close to the career office.  Hopefully by then they know the student.  But your kid should check in with the career office to get a handle on the timeline as relevant for that school and the industries he/she is interested in.  It might have an impact on which abroad program is manageable.  Logistically most of what they need to do is online plus the preliminary rounds are via phone or skype.  Depending on the industry and the firm's level of "prestige", they may feel it necessary to fly back for final round interviews.  The biggest piece they' could miss is the convenience of on campus recruiting (OCR) days and the chance to make personal connections with the recruiters via the job fairs.  Neither was critical to my DC's search as interviews for banking and consulting started as early as spring of sophomore year.  Tech however appears to be on a totally different timeline.  The biggest factor to consider IMO is the amount of time recruiting takes if they are gunning for the most competitive, high paid internships.  Also keep in mind that except for banking senior year recruiting is still the most important for full time offers.  The junior summer is to get some working experience.  Perhaps in your kid's case, applying for overseas internships compatible with the program make sense.  It's complicated but a good issue to have.  These kids are so lucky to have the opportunities they do.
