我在讀MBA前看到這樣一篇文章，當時覺得很有意思，於是存了下來。這兩天正好看到大家在討論類似的話題，結合自己幾年來的切身體會，重讀之下覺得此文非常有道理。節選一小段給大家分享：
Greg Ruf, CEO of MBA Focus (www.mbafocus.net), which maintains a database on more than 20,000 MBAs that it uses to help about 1,800 U.S. employers find job candidates from around the world.
Q：You also do targeted searches for employers who are looking for particular skills. What's most in demand now?
Ruf：Obviously, technical skills - quantitative know-how, for instance - are important, and
strong communication skills are always in demand. But the biggest buzzword now is globalization. It's really a marked difference from just a few years ago. Now, the big U.S. tech companies, investment banks, consulting firms, and consumer-goods companies are
trying to find people who can function globally. An MBA with overseas work experience,
or familiarity with one or more foreign markets, has a real advantage. That person can
probably choose among several great job opportunities.
And of course, if you're going to move up, as most MBAs expect to, global experience is
a must. If I had a college-age or graduate-school-age child right now, I'd try to
encourage him or her to spend a year or a semester in China, or in India.
China especially needs tens of thousands of trained managers to fuel the economic
growth they're experiencing now, and there just aren't enough qualified people. Anyone
who has spent time in China and knows something about it, and also has an MBA from a
top U.S. school - well, that person can pretty much write his or her own ticket.
結合我自身的體會，想起當時獵頭找到我時說的話：他們（要人單位）要找一個有很強的技術背景，5年的相關工作經驗的MBA，而且最好是個有亞洲背景但是又非常“美國化”的候選人 -- 我們找了一年也沒有找到，直到看到你這個Perfect match...
需要指出的是, 英語交流能力是第一要素(發音什麽的都是最起碼的,而且還不是最關鍵的,用詞準確到位、注意場合、身體語言和語調的配合，等等，學海無涯）。我目前還是在不斷地積累學習,隻能說水平一般，和自己的漢語水平相似 -- 還有不少提高的餘地。
現在要出門有事，下回再聊。
