That also means learning what is polite in other countries and what might offend your colleague, business partner or worse - your boss. 

Five rules for China: 

Rule #1: Be as polite as possible
Harmony plays a very important role in the Chinese business environment. While being human and admitting to failure might be common in European leadership, your Chinese colleague might need to keep face in front of the team. It is important to respect that in order to move forward even if projects get delayed or business deals burst. Be always punctual to meetings, since reliability is very important in the Chinese culture. 

Rule #2: A great guest makes a great business partner
If you have been invited to dinner by your superior or colleague you should be honored. Since eating together is such a big part of Chinese culture you should consider yourself lucky. Be punctual and bring the right gift. Flowers are usually brought to funerals so stay away from them. 

Rule #3: Discuss but stay away from critical topics
Political discussions are still considered a "taboo" in China. Human rights, the Cultural Revolution and Digital Censorship - those important topics should be handled with care. During meetings you might experience longer silences than you are used to. Do not interrupt, it does not necessary mean your negotiations are not going in the right direction. 

Rule #4: More than just a title
In China it is relatively common to use professional titles in everyday situations. If you are dealing with a high profile executive you might address them with "Director Ying Hong" instead of only "Ying Hong".  While Mark Zuckerberg is sitting with his staff in one room, hierarchy is still appreciated in China. 

Rule #5: Know the local differences
China is a big country. Before going on a business trip or starting a new job you should research local differences in behavior and work etiquette. Also make sure to translate your material in the right language. While Mandarin is the official language in Mainland China, in Hong Kong and Macau it is Cantonese. 

If you ever wondered how other people are holding up negotiating in China, read this funny article by Management Consultant Scott Margolis. In our next episode we will cover the US and find out what to be aware of when dealing with real cowboys.

<b>HUFFLEPUFF</b>
<p>As a teenager, being told that you are loyal, hard-working and abiding by the rules doesn't sound cool. What's awesome about adult Hufflepuffs? They don't care! As a result, they are more likely to heave a steady career, win "employee of the year" awards and be financially wise enough to retire comfortably.</p>
 
<p>Hufflepuffs will excel in roles requiring commitment and will be inspired by working for a cause. Hufflepuff professionals can gain a loyal client base by being upfront and aligned with their clients' best interests.</p>

<p>Suitable careers: Doctor, Teacher, Customer Service, Low-risk investment management, Honest accounting, Management at NGO </p>

<b>RAVENCLAW</b>
<p>Think of your favourite app, movie or building.  Chances are, a Ravenclaw was involved in making it happen. Ravenclaw souls are open-minded and curious and boundaries exist for the sole purpose of pushing them.</p>

<p>What Ravenclaws have in intelligence and talent, they might be missing in leadership skills. Because for a Ravenclaw, real creativity happens outside the boundaries of business goals and resources. Ravenclaws are motivated and can lead by example, but coaching their team members into action does not come naturally to them.</p>

<p>Suitable careers: Filmmaking, Writing, Marketing, Fashion design, Research, Natural Sciences, Engineering</p>
<p>

<b>SLYTHERIN</b>
<p>No matter the industry, the country or even the century, there's always a dirty job to be done and no one else is better to do this than a Slytherin. These individuals are not discouraged by the high risk, they are focused on the high reward. They are also smart enough to do the deed efficiently.</p>

<p>Despite their reputation, Slytherins are not bad people. They can contribute to a team, as long as the goal aligns with their interests. They are not only talented, but also practical.</p>

<p>Suitable careers: Politics, Law, High-profit investment management, Sales, Consulting, PR, Event planner</p>
<p>

<b>GRYFFINDOR</b>
<p>In need of a person to have strong morals, inspire a team, make brave decisions and look good while doing so? Look no further than the Gryffindor house. A Gryffindor is not one to dwell on plans, they take action and thrive doing so, even without having all the information.</p>

<p>The apparent holy grail of business leadership is not without its flaws. Gryffindors can be hot-headed and get involved in increased risk. They can also get on the nerves of everyone else who's working behind the scenes so that they have something to brag about. But nobody's perfect you know.</p>

<p>Suitable careers: Sports, Journalism, Business, Geology, Law enforcement, Modelling, Superheroes</p>

When in school, summers are usually associated with long periods to get rest. Taking a worthwhile break is important. But what if you could also spend one hour every day learning something new?

Here are some of the best material you can find online to pick up new and useful skills. Best of it all? It's free. Unless you agree that "time is money". Then it's priceless...

Languages
Do you wish you could start learning a language, but have no idea where to begin? Are language courses in your area expensive? You can start learning the basics on your own. Some sites even allow you to translate texts, or learn new vocabulary with the use of memes!

Duolingo is a personal favourite app, as it follows a good structure, allowing you to learn the basics easily. I use it daily for 15 minutes of practising Swedish!
Check out more at:
Duolingo (www.duolingo.com), Memrise (www.memrise.com)

Education / Coding Skills
Follow courses from some of the best professors in their fields, teaching at the best universities. Thanks to the rise of online courses, world-class knowledge is not that exclusive anymore.

Signing up for the below sites is free. The courses are plentiful and free to watch. All you need is commitment to go through the material you choose. Have fun!
Coursera (www.coursera.org), edX(www.edx.org), Codecademy (www.codecad…Learn (www.futurelearn.com), iTunes U (www.apple.com/itunes/)

Books
Ok books are not free. But they are priceless! And a lot of them you can rent them for free from a library. Many great books are written in English, so picking up one also ticks off that language practice you've been meaning to do.

Some recommendations for your summer reading list, no matter what your study field is:
"How to win friends and influence people" - Dale Carnegie
"Thinking fast & slow" - Dale Kahneman
"Start with why" - Simon Sinek


Blog
Ideally you've read a lot, practised a language and even picked up some coding skills. Have you gotten involved in a project to use your new skills? Why not blog about your progress? Post your achievements on a Tumblr blog and also on LinkedIn. That's how you can prove you are using your new knowledge and make sure those skills stay sharp.

These were only a couple of ideas and the opportunities for affordable education don't stop here. The best piece of advice is to never stop learning.

Five rules for China: 

Rule #1: Be as polite as possible
Harmony plays a very important role in the Chinese business environment. While being human and admitting to failure might be common in European leadership, your Chinese colleague might need to keep face in front of the team. It is important to respect that in order to move forward even if projects get delayed or business deals burst. Be always punctual to meetings, since reliability is very important in the Chinese culture. 

Rule #2: A great guest makes a great business partner
If you have been invited to dinner by your superior or colleague you should be honored. Since eating together is such a big part of Chinese culture you should consider yourself lucky. Be punctual and bring the right gift. Flowers are usually brought to funerals so stay away from them. 

Rule #3: Discuss but stay away from critical topics
Political discussions are still considered a "taboo" in China. Human rights, the Cultural Revolution and Digital Censorship - those important topics should be handled with care. During meetings you might experience longer silences than you are used to. Do not interrupt, it does not necessary mean your negotiations are not going in the right direction. 

Rule #4: More than just a title
In China it is relatively common to use professional titles in everyday situations. If you are dealing with a high profile executive you might address them with "Director Ying Hong" instead of only "Ying Hong".  While Mark Zuckerberg is sitting with his staff in one room, hierarchy is still appreciated in China. 

Rule #5: Know the local differences
China is a big country. Before going on a business trip or starting a new job you should research local differences in behavior and work etiquette. Also make sure to translate your material in the right language. While Mandarin is the official language in Mainland China, in Hong Kong and Macau it is Cantonese.

If you have the chance to look for an internship abroad, do it! And here's why.

You get experience in a diverse team
Different teams use different tools and are organised in a different way. Become a member of your new team by learning to adapt to their style. You will discover you are more flexible than you think.

You get to practice a foreign language
You can study a language all you want, but being required to speak it is the best practice. If you end up in a country where you don't speak the local language, English stops being a luxurious exercise. English means survival!

You learn from other people's behaviours
By going and working abroad, you will meet a lot of people. By meeting a lot of people from other cultures, you will see that they will not always behave the way you would expect or want. Learn from their behaviours.

You become more understanding
By meeting a lot of people you also see all the small things that make us different, but also similar. You will see that everyone makes different choices than you and that's totally fine.

You get pretty good at planning
As if preparing a CV, a cover letter and getting through the interview was enough. There's also... tickets, visas, passports, housing, luggage, budgeting, learning the streets in a new city. Chances are you will manage just fine and you will learn how to take future needs into account.

You make make new friends
You end up landing alone in a foreign country. You will be forced to meet people and make friends to help you around. If you thought you were too scared to do that, you will realise that it's not as hard. Being kind is appreciated globally.

You try out all these great dishes
You might miss your favourite dishes from home. You will for sure discover new ones! You can learn a lot about a culture by the kinds of spices and side-dishes they add to their meals.

You prove to yourself that you can make it
Getting abroad is no easy task. What will you realise it once you've done it? That you still succeeded, despite it not being easy. Feel proud!

You leave old worries behind
What looked big and tough will look small upon your return after an adventure abroad. The world is much bigger than we think. There is so much to see and feel, we can't waste time on worrying about the small things.

You learn that life doesn't stop for anyone
People who return home after some time abroad, often feel like that not much has changed. They have had a crazy time and everything else seems stuck in the past. That reminds you the 2 or more months you spent in a foreign land is a significant amount of time. You can learn so much during that time by simply motivating yourself to look for such experiences.

Eager to fly? That's the spirit you need! Check out the international internships on iHipo (www.ihipo.com) and start practising some language skills.',

iHipo: Business Etiquette Part 1 - China

2015-06-28

---

---

No matter if you are working abroad or only planning a short term internship in a foreign country - in a globalized society we have to embrace our differences. That also means learning what is polite in other countries and what might offend your colleague, business partner or worse - your boss.

Five rules for China:

Rule #1: Be as polite as possible
Harmony plays a very important role in the Chinese business environment. While being human and admitting to failure might be common in European leadership, your Chinese colleague might need to keep face in front of the team. It is important to respect that in order to move forward even if projects get delayed or business deals burst. Be always punctual to meetings, since reliability is very important in the Chinese culture.

Rule #2: A great guest makes a great business partner
If you have been invited to dinner by your superior or colleague you should be honored. Since eating together is such a big part of Chinese culture you should consider yourself lucky. Be punctual and bring the right gift. Flowers are usually brought to funerals so stay away from them.

Rule #3: Discuss but stay away from critical topics
Political discussions are still considered a "taboo" in China. Human rights, the Cultural Revolution and Digital Censorship - those important topics should be handled with care. During meetings you might experience longer silences than you are used to. Do not interrupt, it does not necessary mean your negotiations are not going in the right direction.

Rule #4: More than just a title
In China it is relatively common to use professional titles in everyday situations. If you are dealing with a high profile executive you might address them with "Director Ying Hong" instead of only "Ying Hong". While Mark Zuckerberg is sitting with his staff in one room, hierarchy is still appreciated in China.

Rule #5: Know the local differences
China is a big country. Before going on a business trip or starting a new job you should research local differences in behavior and work etiquette. Also make sure to translate your material in the right language. While Mandarin is the official language in Mainland China, in Hong Kong and Macau it is Cantonese.

If you ever wondered how other people are holding up negotiating in China, read this funny article by Management Consultant Scott Margolis. In our next episode we will cover the US and find out what to be aware of when dealing with real cowboys.
