The Executive Biography.

Job Search - The Executive

In the mind of many ambitious executives, the most attractive of all new horizons may be an international career, you would think that opportunities for such careers grew on trees. In reality, unfortunately, this is not the case.

In spite of the expansion of multinational corporations and the more hesitant progress of the EU (European Union) towards integration, most organizations still prefer to fill senior positions with a national of the country in which the job in question is based.

The reasons for this include cultural differences, knowledge of local markets, fear that the appointee, or his / her family, will not settle, costs of relocation, language to fill a managerial role, .difficulties in obtaining work permits, although EU nationals can move freely within member states, moves elsewhere present far greater difficulties. The US, for example, has very tough legislation.
