I wanted to start this Blog writing about my experience in working abroad for an International Organization. First, it is valid to remark the efforts of leaving your home country and going to experience living abroad. This is the immediate fear that many people face: it is sometimes boost the desire for leaving, and sometimes it is enough reason for staying. Second, working for an International Organization holds a responsibility that everybody can reach but very few can keep for a long time. Do these statements sound weird for you? Let me explain my reasons.
From the going abroad perspective, this experience has a huge advantage for the career. In recent years, many Human Resources departments look very positive the fact that the applicants for managerial positions had been exposed to international environments. For recruiters a candidate who has experience in international environments has more chance to succeed in the global business world, which means that the candidate has more capacity for adapting to new and challenging atmospheres. On the other hand, people who study or work abroad develops skills in problem solving become more flexible and gain independence and awareness of cultural differences.
Now, if working abroad is challenging, working for an International organization is a huge responsibility. International Organizations are made for those who appeal to solidarity with their own nations and with the world. Here, somehow the environment promotes the sense of struggle to develop and to work for a better and more equal world. Associates – full time employees, consultants or interns— learn the responsibility that holds in their shoulders, and in the same way, they try to give the best. Associates know that their job will benefit thousand of people in least developed and developing countries. Sometimes, many of these employees have the opportunity to physically see their efforts become real.
