Discussion 1

According to Baltzan (2016), the world is flat and all businesses require a perceptual shift to remain competitive. Similarly, students competing for jobs should also change their approach to differentiate themselves from the market place. One strategy that can be embraced by students is getting global experiences. Instead of seeking internship opportunities locally, one should explore companies with operations abroad. Such an experience makes one a global employee since they learn to interact with people from different cultures and nationalities. Additionally, they get an opportunity to learn a new language in the process. Many companies nowadays are looking for employees who have a cross-cultural experience since they are more flexible, can work easily with different people and are open minded (Mor, Morris & Joh, 2013). As such, through this strategy, students can get a competitive advantage over their peers.
