Internship abroad and at home

Hey guys! In our school the topic internship abroad is very present because in two weeks some students of my class are going to Dublin to work there at different companies. Working in a foreign country has a lot of advantages but also disadvantages which I’m going to write about now. One big advantages of working abroad is that you can gain a lot of experiences. You will find out about how companies in another country structure their work and organize their things.

He mentioned that cleaning up the environment will raise company costs which means that the prices of the products or services will increase, and people won’t be likely to buy the product. ...

Watch your language Verbal and written communications are often much less formal than in times past but be careful to choose your words wisely. Of course, derogatory, rude of offensive language is unacceptable, but so is slang. Don’t interrupt Most of the time we want to offer our own opinions no matter if someone is talking or not. We often interrupt in the middle of a sentence to announce our point of view. That’s very rude and shows disrespect for the other opinions. No phone during meetings When you’re on a meeting you should stay focused on the topic which is being discussed. That’s why you should always keep your phone in your pockets. Don’t take calls or check e-mails. It will distract you from the meeting and it’s also very unpolite and rude. In the business worl...
