Working abroad
Expats: designate employees
working abroad for a company established in Switzerland.
Thanks to globalisation, such an
experience is part of normal training in any manager's career.
Adaptability,
motivation, consummate professionalism, knowledge of languages,
flexibility and open-mindedness are all character traits that
multinational companies look for in aspirants to a foreign posting.
The
advantages of any stint abroad are obvious. Not only does it offer
one of the most enriching professional experiences , but it also makes
for interesting personal development through interaction with different
cultures and lifestyles. As these are usually hierarchically senior
positions, it goes without saying that they will not be entrusted, a
priori, to novices and that a certain seniority is required if the
indispensable relationship of trust is to be forged. Even so, the needs
in the areas of research and developement, information technology,
marketing, the financial services or in the technical fields are
frequently open to young graduates with recognised capabilities, not
least of all because of the premium also placed on younger candidates.
In
most instances it is single person or young couples who embody the ideal
expatriate profile...coming from Success & Career guide.
