New technology links the world as never before.
Our planet has shrunk
. It’s now a "global village" where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.
Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success
overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.
Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executives stationed in another country no longer need to fear being "
out of sight and out of mind
". He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent.
Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.
English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the
edge
when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to
move
more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm. [br] According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?
选项
A、Connections with overseas businesses.
B、Ability to speak the client’s language.
C、Technical know-how.
D、Business experience.
答案
B
解析
最后一段首句指出“派驻国外的雇员如果会说该国的主要语言就可以把握时机推进或放慢某些谈判的进程”。而下一句表示“在国内工作的雇员如果可以和国外客户交流,对公司来说就是一项优势”。两句均强调了能讲客户的语言的重要性,由此可知跨国公司在进行员工招聘时要考虑的一个重要因素就是求职者说客户的语言的能力,所以答案为B。
