With the US job market tightening, perhaps you have considered working overseas as an attractive option to jumpstart or reinvigorate your career. If you have acquired international experience through studies, residences, and internships abroad, if you speak foreign languages and are interested in other cultures – then you may have the fundamental skills to make it in the global marketplace. These two workshops are designed to help you determine if going overseas is right for you and how to use your international experience as a distinct and differentiated advantage in your job search.

Marketing One of the 'Other' Emerging Markets:
How Turkey Competes for Foreign Direct Investment in the Competitive Global Economy
A panel discussion moderated by Dr. Liesl Riddle
Hosted by The GW-CIBER

When one hears of investment in emerging markets, most of the discussion seems to center on China and India. But what about the other emerging markets, like Turkey? How does Turkey compete for foreign direct investment capital? What challenges has it faced? What opportunities/benefits does it have to offer a foreign investor? Our panel discussion will examine these questions from the perspectives of the Turkish government, the American business community, the Turkish business community, and an academic country expert.
