How business students view overseas assignments

Article Abstract:

A study on how business students see overseas work assignments is presented. Results showed that most students preferred countries that are familiar, with west European and English-speaking countries as the top choices. Students cited the cultural similarities, current political situations and proficiency in the country's language as the reasons for the choices. They also expect benefits to be similar to those offered by American multinational companies. The studies imply that employers should consider employee choices and traits to ensure the success of an overseas assignment.

Some hows about teaching overseas

Article Abstract:

Overseas teaching jobs present employment opportunities for those who want to work abroad. However, the application process differs from that currently practiced in the US. Applicants must be prepared to answer questions that are normally deemed illegal by Americans. Their resumes may require additional information on language skills, travels or studies abroad, interests and other personal data. Applicants also have to consider that the work abroad means a change of lifestyle and most superintendents regard self-confidence, adaptability and independence as plus factors.

What American students like about Japanese HR policies

Article Abstract:

A study on how college students rate Japanese human resources (HR) policies against American policies is presented. Results show that students favor the Japanese's thrust on employee training and overall employee programs. However, they do not approve of the bonus system and the slow employee promotions. Students still prefer American HR policies but they would welcome the integration of the Japanese method which ensures job stability and provides employee support. They expect companies to train them, recognize their contributions and enhance their career development.
