Having experience in an international working environment is always a big plus to help candidates win high-level positions at Vietnamese corporations. If you want to find out why human resources experts often appreciate candidates working in this environment, readers are invited to read the article “TOP 10 benefits of working in an international environment” below from SMART SOLUTION FOR BUSINESS COMPANY LIMITED (S4B Vietnam)
1. What is the international working environment?
An international working environment is an environment with the participation of foreign individuals and organizations from many different countries and in many different positions from high to low. To work in this environment, every year millions of workers leave their safety areas to study abroad and look for jobs in a harsh competitive environment. For them, this is a valuable work experience and brings many new job opportunities.
International workplaces often offer generous bonuses and benefits
2. Benefits of working in an international environment
If workers have the opportunity and ability to contribute to foreign companies and multinational corporations, here are 10 personal benefits accumulated during the work process that you need to consider:
2.1 Professional abilities
Working in an international environment is the best way to help you access new specialized documents on the market. The main reason is because articles about professional knowledge are often first published in foreign magazines and it takes a long time for someone to translate and update them in newspapers in Vietnam. Therefore, workers working for foreign companies will easily access the latest knowledge and improve their professional abilities more quickly.
2.2 Language development
One of the most prominent benefits of working at multinational companies is helping workers become fluent in two or more languages. Normally in an international working environment, the main language of communication is English. Using English or a third language regularly at work will help employees possess a broad specialized vocabulary as well as more standard pronunciation.
2.3 Increase communication ability
Choosing to work in an international environment means you will have many colleagues from different cultures. Each culture will have its own customs and body language. Integrating into this new environment will help you become more sensitive in how to talk to many different types of people.
You can comfortably interact with strangers and understand the views and beliefs of different countries. This is a skill that helps you be highly appreciated when applying for a job, and is also a skill that employers need to pay attention to when selecting candidates for a multi-ethnic working environment.
2.4 Leadership ability
In an international environment, group work activities are often valued more than individual activities. Therefore, new groups are regularly formed every time there is a project and employees can participate in many different projects at the same time. Becoming part of a team will help administrators practice leadership skills, know how to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each member, and then assign work appropriately.
2.5 Adaptability
Compared to the domestic working environment, working in a multinational environment helps workers become more flexible and possess better adaptability. Because each country’s working style is different, you need to regularly adjust your working style to accommodate working styles from many cultures.
2.6 Ability to work in groups
Working in an international environment means that administrators can work in a variety of different teams. Each team will have its own team leader and administrators will be assigned to different positions, requiring them to keep up with the working styles of multiple teams at the same time. From there, workers can easily improve their teamwork ability as well as learn how to multitask in many different positions within the team.
2.7 Problem solving ability
According to research, working in a multi-ethnic environment will have more problems than working in a domestic environment with mainly employees from the same country. Employees will need to handle the above issues skillfully so as not to offend colleagues and limit conflicts within the organization. Thanks to that, they will be more sensitive when a problem appears and solve it faster.
2.8 Expand your network of relationships
The network of relationships will certainly be expanded many times if employees choose to work in an international environment. Foreign colleagues will help managers easily get acquainted and approach people in the same industry from different countries. In addition, the multinational working environment is also a good condition for administrators to meet many international customers and expand their personal relationship network.
2.9 Expand personal knowledge
Except for specialized knowledge, administrators will learn a lot about culture and soft skills from their colleagues and leaders. Employees also have the opportunity to expand their personal knowledge from the company’s internal training sessions.
Expand your understanding in the international working environment
2.10 Future career opportunities
Employees with experience working in an international environment are often highly appreciated by employers and have certain advantages when applying for jobs. Working in multinational corporations gives workers better language and problem-solving skills. These are all important criteria in candidates that employers are looking for.
