More International Job Interviewing Tips

 

Here are some key tips and resources for helping you succeed in the international job interview.

 

Unlike in the U.S.:

• Age, race, gender, marital status -- illegal questions in the U.S. -- may be topics asked in the interview
• In certain cultures, much emphasis is placed on showing respect to elders (and especially male elders)
• Speaking too much about yourself and your accomplishments can be seen as too self-serving and individualistic
• Proceed carefully when asking about the next steps in the process as it can be seen as to forward or rude to do so
