“Going Global is going from good to fantastic! It is an even more important resource these days as so many of our students are focusing their searches on their home regions. … Where else can you get detailed information about obtaining work permits in Belgium, employment trends in Hong Kong and

current MBA job postings in Brazil? Going Global provides students the information they need to initiate a successful international job search while increasing the professional capabilities of the career

development staff that advises them. ... Going Global makes us look like experts and opens up useful conversations with students about the implications of what they have read for their job searches. Your work is keeping me engaged in mine, even after all these years!”

Marlisa Simonson

Wesleyan College Career Center

“The Going Global Country Career Guides are invaluable resources both for our counselors and for the students and alumni who utilize them. The level of detail about each country, the accuracy of the information, and the clear-cut way the guides are organized all contribute to a product that stands far above the closest competitor.”

Art Tyndall

Assistant Director, Career Services University of Tulsa

“I’ve still not seen a better-organized, international employment product than Going Global. We appreciate our students having access to such a valuable resource.”

Caroline Dowd-Higgins

Associate Director, Employer Development

Career Development Center Arts & Sciences Career Services, Indiana University

“Going Global is a powerful career development tool which the students, staff and faculty utilize regularly at Indiana University. We’ve seen a dramatic increase in the number of students who want to pursue international career opportunities, and these “global graduates” need to market themselves effectively and accurately in different parts of the world of work. Going Global empowers the individual to put

together an international professional tool kit and research career and internship opportunities all in one website. This remarkable resource has revolutionized the international career search for the better!”

Joe Meyer

University of Buffalo

“Going Global has been an excellent tool that I have used both in individual career counseling

appointments as well as while teaching my career development class. Students (both domestic and international) love the ability to research geographic areas they are interested in moving to after graduation, both around the US and in other countries.

“Not only does GG provide information, but it also helps find employment opportunities. Going Global has also helped our office as we begin to develop outreach strategies for our employer relations. We now have the ability to research a certain area, gain valuable information and develop a regional employer outreach strategy.Going Global is an excellent product and I highly endorse it.”

“As a global professional with experience working and studying on five continents, I am excited to know such quality resources such as yours exist! I personally look forward to the Going Global/Tippie partnership.”

Tony Somers Director

MBA Career Management Center HEC School of Management

“Going Global is one of the key resources for MBA students at HEC Paris. It gives information on everything they need to know on both full-time and internships employment worldwide. It contains

information not just on visas, but also what a specific country's labor requirements are. It even goes so far as to let students know what the culture for a specific country is, and specific behaviors relating to

interviews, cover letters, CVs and so on. It covers both public and private sectors. In addition, the site is updated continuously and participants are sent regular updates on what's happening in the various markets and developments of particular importance. I unreservedly recommend Global Workplace as a resource.”

“Students live, and will eventually work, in a diverse global society; Going Global provides a powerful resource for students to better understand and communicate with the different cultures of our world.”

Roberta E. Kaskel

“OUTSTANDING - we have been getting very positive feedback from students and even showed it to some employers who “oohed and aahed” about the country guides.”

Leanne Mallach

Corporate Relations Manager Moore School of Business University of South Carolina

“We've found [Going Global] immensely helpful for our students. It's so much more than just the same old job posting site. It gives information on everything you would ever want to know with regards to

employment (full-time and internships), both in the US and abroad. The site is accessible from anywhere in the world that has an Internet connection once the students' initial account is set up in-house. The information is endless and very country specific. I know they're adding more and more countries to their line-up all the time, plus the site is updated on a daily basis, so your information is always accurate and up to date.”

“I am facing a crowd of sophisticated (or so they think) Executive MBAs this afternoon, giving my

standard, \"Now you're about to become an alum\" spiel, and showing them Going Global should get them very interested in our new site. They're all about 'jobs, jobs, jobs,' so I am anticipating a good reaction.”

Deb Artz

UC Santa Barbara

“The guides continue to be a wonderful resource, especially for international and graduate students. We will definitely link your site for those wishing to purchase them on-line. I continue to be a strong advocate of the quality of the research that goes into the job search links and will continue to refer our students to these valuable resources.”

Irene

“The University of Strathclyde Graduate School of Business was one of the first schools in the UK to use the Going Global website and was pleased to introduce it to the Carnet Group of European business school Careers Directors (www.carnet-alliance.org), who have all subscribed.

“It is one of the most comprehensive sources of information on the international job market available, constantly updated in line with market trends, straightforward to use and flexible. It is an invaluable one-stop-shop for students who can get insights into living and working in specific countries, top local company information and links, and search for current vacancies by location, all on the one site.”
