Here are four things that you will learn abroad that will set you apart from your classmates who don't study overseas.
1. You will learn and understand a new culture
Doing business with someone is always tricky, but doing it with a person or company in a different country is even more difficult. In some
cultures Wholesale Trayvon Mullen Jersey , people say exactly what they are thinking. For instance, if you went abroad to a meeting and someone said, "John Wholesale Johnathan Abram Jersey , nice to see you. You look much fatter than the last time I saw you," as an American you would be greatly offended. However,
if you understood the culture and knew that the comment was meant as an
observation and not an insult Wholesale Josh Jacobs Jersey , it would be easier to laugh off. Without an understanding of that culture, the whole business relationship could be ruined.
2. You will have a better understand of foreign politics
Not only will you gain a better understanding of the general politics of a country, but you'll understand the bureaucracy as well. If your company needs to
get something done overseas and you know how to work through the
system Wholesale Clelin Ferrell Jersey , you will be that much more valuable to your employer.
3. You will learn a new language faster than taking a class
Your average language class meets for 45 hours per semester. Your average day abroad involves 16 hours per day of immersion in a new language. So, in 3 days
abroad you hear and are immersed in a language more than you are in a class for
an entire semester! It is also much easier to learn a language when it is being
used in normal day-to-day situations. Sure, you can learn the basics by reading
a textbook or listening to a teacher Wholesale Antonio Brown Jersey , but nothing will make you understand a language better than being immersed in it.
4. You will learn to be flexible and patient
The two things that everyone who studies abroad learns to master are flexibility and patience. Not everyone in the world eats dinner at 6pm, or has
hot water all day long, or has a dryer. So Cheap Nick Nelson Jersey , you learn to adapt and be flexible in your new situation. Part of this adaptation involves a fairly high level of patience, as in the U.S.
you would probably be pretty upset if you didn't have hot water! Employees who
are flexible and patient are a blessing to every boss. There's nothing a manager
hates more than an employee who can't easily switch gears or sit back and wait.
Remember that studying abroad not only increases your value as a potential asset to your future employers, but expands your view on the world as well. If

My Wacky Test Marketing Experiment Succeeded ECommerce Articles | June 12, 2005
In a previous article I recounted engaging in a wacky piece of test marketing ? and now I?d like to provide you with a progress report.
In a previous article I recounted engaging in a wacky piece of test marketing ? and now I?d like to provide you with a progress report.
I set up a temporary website with a sales pitch for a product which I had yet to create - and cheekily signed off with a visitor survey request instead of the
customary options to purchase.
The questionnaire went like this?
Did it work?
[u]You betcha![u] [/u][/u]

[list=1][u][u]Within 72 hours of submission the web page zoomed to No.1 on Yahoo!, AltaVista and AllTheWeb with corresponding high positioning on Google Cheap Brandon Parker Jersey , MSN, AOL, Ask Jeeves Cheap Johnny Townsend Jersey , etc. Completed questionnaire forms flooded in supplying me with what I needed to know before pressing the button on
production. Both versions of my new product were generated in 24 hours and the
website doctored to include ordering facilities.
[u]Net result: [u][/u][/u]

So what have I learned from my wacky test marketing?

when you think it is way off beam sometimes pays off.
