The strong points which I think will help me work in a global organization are –
1) Adaptability – The biggest strength I believe is my Adaptability. I can easily adapt myself by understanding and accepting different cultures. I have always believed when you have to work in a different country, you need to understand their culture, their social structure and their way of doing business. The faster you adapt, the easier it will be to achieve success in a new environment.
2) Ability to learn – I am always open to learning new ideas and processes. Working in a global organization gives an individual a chance to interact with people from different backgrounds. I am a keen observer and listener to different ideas which I can apply in my daily work.
3) Language Skills – Learning different languages is a very important quality to achieve success in different parts
