Unit 10 Discussion Topic 1: Global
Networking Discussion
Use the internet to research how an
interviewee or a current employee might successfully network with peers in
other countries. One networking site that may prove useful is LinkedIn™ (http://www.linkedin.com/). Another job site that has career
information is Monster® (www.monster.com). Monster has links to job sites in
other countries. One site that offers information on the differences between
cultures is ITIM International™ (http://www.geert-hofstede.com/).
For this Discussion, look at a
specific country of your choice. Develop two brief introductions, one for a
U.S. peer, and one for a peer in another country of your choosing. How would
you introduce yourself, what would you say in two sentences? How, or why, are
the introductions different?
Be specific about how your approach
to networking might be different based on a specific culture. Pay special
attention to any advice you find on what not to do when networking with
people from different cultures.
Make a note of 2-3 of the best ideas
you find on the question, and report them here. How might you use them in your
own networking?
Topic 2: Optional Reflection
Discussion and Farewells
Discuss what you learned in this
Human Resource Management course and how you might apply what you learned in
the future.
Then say your farewells to your
fellow classmates and instructor.
