My key advice for those planning to work internationally is to focus not only on gaining valuable experience but also on obtaining globally recognized certifications. As the saying goes, "Before you say anything, show me what you’ve got." In today’s context, it has evolved to, "Before you say anything, show me your experiences and certifications." These credentials can significantly strengthen your professional credibility on the global stage.
