Database of the Day: Going Global

Database of the Day: Going Global - Career and Employment Resource (Going Global, Inc.)

Going Global is a new resource that will be invaluable for students involved in job searching or planning to spend time in a foreign county.

This career and employment resource covers areas such as:

• --Job search sources,
• --Work permit/visa regulations,
• --Resume writing guidelines and examples,
• --Employment trends,
• --Salary ranges,
• --Networking groups,
• --Cultural/interviewing advice

 The Going Global database is also a great resource for in-depth information on various countries and some major U.S. cities. For instance, a student looking for information on Brazil will find online job sites;  internship programs; job fairs and career events; industry and employment trends;  top companies; business and networking groups; financial considerations such as cost of living, salaries, housing expenses and taxes; interviewing and cultural advice, such as how to act like a local, local cuisine, recreation, office protocol and communication styles.

Check out Going Global and learn all you need to know about another country before you travel!
