5.0 out of 5 stars
The pros and cons of being an expatriate,
By A Customer
This review is from: U.S. Expatriate Handbook Guide to Living and Working Abroad (Paperback)
I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering taking an assignment with a US-based country outside of the USA. I was assigned as an expatriate for 3 years in Germany. I wish I had read this boook. Maybe I could have minimized some of the culture shock especially for my family.Chapters 1 and 2 provide excellent food for thought when deciding whether to accept the position. There are many pros and also many cons. Chapters 3 thru 11 provide outstanding recommendations for solutions to many of challenges of living in another culture. Chapter 12 should be read before taking an overseas assignment as well as when nearing the end of assignment. Returning to the USA, especially professionally, is not easy. This chapter has some good advice on networking while assigned overseas. Chapter 13 and 14 are also essential reading before accepting an assignment. The investment in purchasing the book is sound. It will pay for itself many times over! Tom Huegerich Sales Development Manager, International |
