Protocol for Using Business Cards in Asia

Business cards are the primary tool of introduction, exchanging contact information in the business world, and maintaining networks and customer links. Business cards, in various forms, have been a part of society for over 400 years. Some sources claim that business cards originated in China in the 15th century, but the earliest recordable "visiting cards" were used in Europe in the 17th century.

Business cards are used all over the world and there are basic expectations as to the content that should be on a business card. Nevertheless, there are regional—and often country-specific—differences in both the content details and even more importantly, the etiquette, protocol and customs regarding the presentation of a business card.

Many Western countries casually toss a business card across a table or hand it over and receive the other and stuff it in a pocket or notebook. However, it is significantly different in Asia, and following business card etiquette in Asia is of utmost importance.

Exchanging business cards in Asia

In Asia, business cards are of great significance and convey status. The exchange of business cards is an important formality and it is common practice to exchange them in both formal and informal settings, usually after the initial introduction. Because of their frequent exchange, it is important to carry business cards with you at all times, even if you are job searching or seeking volunteer or education opportunities. It is often considered poor form to appear at a social or business event with no business card to share.

What to include

Business cards in Asia, in general, should include your name, title, company affiliation/logo (if you are employed), and contact information, such as address, telephone numbers, fax, email, and web site. References to any acquired academic qualifications, for example, “Dr.” or “Ph.D.” after the name are common in all career professions since titles are very important in most Asian countries.

If you are not currently employed and looking for a job, it is acceptable to give yourself a professional title that reflects your career field on a business card. It can be easy to develop a title by simply listing “consultant” or “specialist” after your career field, such as “Management Consultant” or “Environmental Protection Specialist.”

It is important to have one side of your business card translated into the local language, as a sign of courtesy to potential business partners and those you meet who cannot read your native language.  This implies that you are sincere about respecting their language and culture, and it further demonstrates your intention to have a professional business relationship with them.

Etiquette and protocol for exchanging business cards in Asia

People in Asia respect status and the symbols associated with business cards. Business cards are typically exchanged after the initial introductions and after a little small talk and relationship development.

Always present your business card and receive their business card with both hands (never with just the left hand) and with the local language version side facing up and the type-face towards the recipient. The card should be placed in the hand of the recipient rather than left on a desk or slid across a table to someone. Significant emphasis is placed on the business card and you will be expected to examine it after accepting it and before putting it neatly away – preferably in a card-holder, as this is a sign of respect and an indication as to how you will develop the relationship. Never place it in your back pocket, as this is extremely disrespectful.  At meetings the cards are normally kept in front of you on the table.  Always make sure your cards are in perfect condition as this is a reflection of your character and a mark of respect. It is not usual to write on business cards, especially in front of the person who gave it to you as it may be seen as disrespectful.

Not planning to work? You still need cards!

If you are moving to an Asian country and do not plan to work, such as with a spouse or partner, on an internship, or with a study abroad or volunteer, you should still have personal “contact cards” made. At the very least, the information on a personal contact card should include your name, email address, and phone number. However, you should research what is the standard content on contact/business cards in your destination country.

The above information applies especially to China, Korea, Singapore, Hong-Kong and Thailand.  Additionally, in China, outside of the traditional content, the business card can include a blog address and skype information. Due to the strict social hierarchy in Korea, it is usual for business to be discussed and business cards exchanged among people of similar rank. In Singapore, it is also becoming popular to include a photo of yourself on the card.

It is possible to have quality business cards printed in all main Asian metropolitan areas. However, it might be a good idea to have your card translated professionally in order to bridge any cultural gaps your business card might contain.

1. Learn what the United Nations Common System (UNCS) is and does.
2. Diversify your job search and research the Duty Stations.

4. Identify what the hiring UN organization is seeking.
5. Submit well-written, appropriate job applications.

This week we’ll conclude the series by discussing the importance of submitting appropriate job applications.  

TIP #5:  Submit well-written, appropriate job applications.

As mentioned in previous blogs, only apply for UN jobs where you have the required experience and skills. Be sure to write focused and concise descriptions of your experience and achievements. Avoid repetition and do not promise more than you can deliver.

Proofread thoroughly by spell-checking and asking someone with strong English skills to review your applications.

Many of the UN Organizations have application instructions and advice posted on their job sites. Take time to read them and follow their advice before you submit your application! Give them what they ask for.  The UN Secretariat provides application tips as well as interview information.

A job search is a marathon, not a 100 meter sprint, especially in these economic times. If your dream is to one day work for a UN Organization, you need to be persistent, have what the organization needs, or acquire it through work and studies. With these elements you will be ready to navigate the UN job search process. Good luck with your UN job search!

TIP #4:  Identify what the hiring UN organization is seeking.

The key question is: Do you have what it takes to do the job and succeed?

Don’t spend time sending in applications unless you have most of the specific skills and experience required. Competition is fierce, and each vacancy may receive hundreds of applications.

Make sure you know the organization values and have the soft skills required in order to fit in and succeed. For most positions, you will need cross-cultural skills and the ability to work with geographically and culturally diverse people from all over the world in a team setting while demonstrating personal integrity. You may need to be able to perform under stress and duress while being a life-long learner with the flexibility to travel where help is needed.

To learn more about the required soft skills, research the websites of UN Organizations, attend relevant meetings and conferences, volunteer (if possible), and talk with your fellow students, professors, alumni or colleagues.

Next week, we’ll conclude this blog series by sharing tips on how to make your job application stand out among the competition.

There are internship programs for those of you in graduate school. Each UN Organization and, in some cases, duty station has its own program and recruitment system for internships. Do your research to learn about the ones of interest to you! You can read more at UN Internship Programme.

For those over 32 years of age, there are other ways to get your foot in the UN:

Consultancies can be found either jointly listed with regular jobs or through the Procurement division at the UN Global Marketplace website. For access, you must first register as a vendor.

Tip #2 Strategies for a UN Job Search: Research the Duty Stations

Part 2 of a 5-Part Blog Series By Katarina Holm-DiDio

Last week we blogged about the UN Common System and shared resources to help you to learn more about what it is,  how it works, and its relevance to your job search.  It is critical  that you understand the UNCS to be effective with your job  search. If you missed that blog, you can find it at Tip #1  Strategic Job Search for UN Jobs: Learn about the UNCS.

We will cover a new tip each week to help you with your UN  job search. So be sure to return next week for the next tip! The 5 Tips are:

1. Learn what the United Nations Common System (UNCS) is and does.
2. Diversify your job search and research the Duty Stations.
3. Review the different recruitment programs and options to work at the UN.
4. Identify what the hiring UN organization is seeking.
5. Submit well-written, appropriate job applications.

This week we’ll share some tips on how and why to seek employment opportunities in less commonly sought after Duty Stations.

TIP #2:  Diversify your Job Search and Research the Duty Stations

Some UN Organizations have a stronger field presence, such as UNICEF and World Food Programme (WFP). Others have historically been based at headquarters (e.g., UN Secretariat), but that is also changing. The UN Secretariat’s Peacekeeping Operations is heavily field-based and many Secretariat employees rotate to different duty stations every few years.

Do not limit your search to the headquarters’ offices in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Bangkok where most job applicants compete.  Instead, look at smaller duty stations that attract less applicant interest. For information about diverse job listings, visit the UN Job List. Here you can also learn about how different positions are getting significant online interest. Also be sure to check out the Analytics section, which breaks down the jobs by agency. Keep in mind that applying to jobs that have attracted less attention online, may increase your chances to be noticed.

By Katarina Holm-DiDio

Best Countries to Find Jobs

With the global economy steeped in recession, new building practically at a standstill, nearly every industry (and country) feeling the crunch, and unemployment notoriously high, everyone is looking for alternative ways to make money. For some, that may even extend as far as emigrating from their home country to another country in search of work.

Before you consider making such a move, it would behoove you to have some idea of which countries might offer you the best opportunity for employment (it simply won’t do to travel abroad only to realize that the locale in which you’re seeking work has suffered greater job loss—particularly in your career field—than the one you left). So if you’re looking for gainful employment somewhere in the world, here are just a few countries that may present the opportunity to work and earn.

Now, you might think that the United States, Canada, and most European countries would provide the most jobs, but wealthy nations with highly paid employees are some of the worst for unemployment right now. The reasons for this strange phenomenon are multifold. For starters, many of the lenders that went belly-up when the bubble burst on the housing market saw their demise in these nations, and although some were saved with government bailouts, the repercussions still closed the doors on several lending institutions and caused cutbacks at others, leading to massive layoffs. And then the trickle-down began, leading to layoffs in adjacent industries, which eventually led to cutbacks in just about every sector of the job market. Hello, 10-20% unemployment. Ouch!

On top of that, many companies that operate in these countries are still in need of employees to get the work done. And since they can’t afford the trained professionals in their own country, they have developed an unparalleled market for outsourcing, opening branches in developing countries and emerging markets where they can pay a fraction of the salary that they would pay in their home country for the same work and similar skill level (and still offer what is considered a fantastic salary for the lower-income region).

Keeping this in mind, if you’re looking to follow your job to a foreign county, there are a few countries that are likely to yield results.

The first country to note for job opportunities is India. If you have a desire to live in a largely poverty-stricken country, steeped in a complex culture, then this job market may be for you. With more than just customer service jobs going to India these days, you might find an even better position than the one you left. Of course, you’ll get paid significantly less than Western countries in comparison, but considering the lower cost of living, you may still come out ahead. Work permits may present your greatest challenge, so you may want to try to secure employment before arriving in the country.

China is another market that seems to be growing for professionals. While Japan used to be at the forefront when it came to growth of industry, China has come onto the white-collar scene in force over the last several years, demanding a better life for their citizenry. Of course, it’s pretty difficult to immigrate to the People’s Republic of China. You may want to consider trying the westernized port of Hong Kong for an easier entry.

Of course, it isn’t all bad in the Western world. Norway and Switzerland are still enjoying less than 5% unemployment rates. But by and large, it won’t do you much good to make a lateral move. If you want to follow the jobs, you’re going to have to leave your comfort zone, literally, by giving up some of the many comforts to which you have become accustomed living in a capitalist society. However, if you’re desperate enough for work, you can find it, and do quite well for yourself, all things considered, by going to another country.

The bottom line: Before you hop on a plane bound for a new career adventure, you will need to do your research to determine your best opportunities. If you’re a member of Passport Career (which means your organization or university/college pays for a license for you to access it), there is a plethora of information and resources available to help you in all aspects of your global job search for more than 250 cities in 78 countries.

BUY Viagra ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION

by Sarah Danielson

The world is both expand BUY Viagra ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION, ing and shrinking at the same time, and it’s all thanks to the advent of the internet. People are now able to virtually visit the most remote regions of the globe by simply clicking their mouse and opening an entire world of possibilities with little expenditure of time or money.

Photos, videos, and blogs can tell you all you need to know about a place and the people who live there without you ever setting foot on the soil. And the communication capabilities mean that people who are thousands of miles away can be reached in mere moments. It’s a truly incredible and life-altering tool, not only for the individual who wants to explore the many facets of our globe, but also for anyone who wishes to expand their business opportunities.

The internet has radically altered the way modern business dealings are conducted. Both email and video conferencing have expanded the playing field for international business operations. And while you can certainly take advantage of such advances by working for a large, multinational corporation, it’s also easier than ever for individuals to strike out on their own and have an entire world of potential consumers at their fingertips. Of course, the prospect of marketing to many diverse cultures can be a little intimidating if you’re doing it on your own.

It’s not all wine and roses. Whether you’re looking into starting a business that furnishes products or services, or you’re simply attempting to launch a blog that reaches a global audience, you’re going to face some interesting challenges that most small enterprises didn’t have to consider even 20 years ago. For example, suppose you’re shipping products to customers around the world. You’ll have to be aware not only of shipping charges (so you can factor them into your rates) but also commercial fees and taxes levied by different countries as well as import laws that could cause your products to be stopped in transit. And if your main export is intellectual content (as with a blog), you’ll have to be aware that some countries may censor or even ban certain materials, thereby limiting your range of topics.

On the other hand, your potential to reach a larger market is incredible. Businesses used to be limited to the geographic regions in which they physically operated (through storefronts, office buildings, individual agents, etc.). It was a system that demanded a lot of physical travel and suffered from the attendant restrictions. These days, anyone can start an online business and go global on the first day, with very little additional time or effort. And since different markets will react in different ways to whatever it is you have to offer, a failure in one region doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be shutting down, since you could succeed beyond your wildest dreams somewhere else.

The global marketplace can be daunting, but by entering it through the virtual world of ecommerce or the blogosphere, you need not be intimidated any longer. Those who are savvy will be able to court an entire globe full of potential customers and vastly increase their odds of succeeding with nearly any business venture.
