Are you able to recognize your cultural values, beliefs and perceptions? How does it differ from someone who works in an American company?
Can you understand the elements which are important to members of another culture?
How different is hierarchy in Brazil and the US? How do we use facial expressions? How is the tone and pitch of the voice of a German worker? How do Japanese deal with eye contact? How are gestures displayed through body language in Colombia? What is the accepted physical distance between the communicators in Finland? How do people interpret silence in China?
The awareness of one’s own cultural biases, preconceived judgments, values and assumptions is an important ability to achieve your goals while doing business with clients from a different culture.
Since 2009 Brazilian Experience welcomes foreign students in Brazil for professional internships. We place students in selected business organizations, research institutes, local universities and non-profits.
For the international interns, this is a great opportunity for practical learning and contact with the job market outside their country.
For organizations that receive international students, this is a chance to put their team in touch with another culture, language and ways of working, making their internationalization possible.
