Career development

Saturday, 6 Aug 2005 | Work in Asia

As I’m thinking about building a career in Asia, I am increasingly becoming convinced this will not only be a nice move for me personally but also professionally. And not just something for a year or so.

Basically, this is the perfect age for me to be making a move like this. I’m experienced in and good at what I do, have identified my strengths and weaknesses, but still have endless options for continued professional development. If the current rise of Asia on the world stage continues, there is obviously going to be an ever increasing demand for experienced professionals able to operate in both the west and in Asia. If I start gaining knowledge and experience in the Asian marketplace now, it puts me in a perfect position to cater to that need 5-10 years down the line.

So, now I basically need my first job.
