我在读MBA前看到这样一篇文章，当时觉得很有意思，于是存了下来。这两天正好看到大家在讨论类似的话题，结合自己几年来的切身体会，重读之下觉得此文非常有道理。节选一小段给大家分享：
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.
结合我自身的体会，想起当时猎头找到我时说的话：他们（要人单位）要找一个有很强的技术背景，5年的相关工作经验的MBA，而且最好是个有亚洲背景但是又非常“美国化”的候选人 -- 我们找了一年也没有找到，直到看到你这个Perfect match...
需要指出的是, 英语交流能力是第一要素(发音什么的都是最起码的,而且还不是最关键的,用词准确到位、注意场合、身体语言和语调的配合，等等，学海无涯）。我目前还是在不断地积累学习,只能说水平一般，和自己的汉语水平相似 -- 还有不少提高的余地。
现在要出门有事，下回再聊。
