Here are some common questions I have heard throughout the years working as an expat in foreign markets: 

• What are the rules? 

• Am I doing it right? 

• Did they like me? 

• Should I have said that? 

Regardless of what market you do business in, these are questions that many expats might ask as they are working in an international job placement. So I developed courses to help young professionals prepare to enter the job market in a foreign country. 

These courses are designed to help startups and freelancers expand their services to a new market. Students will feel equipped to handle the uncertainties of navigating the world of business and integrating into foreign cultures. Getting to the market is one thing; creating success in that market is another.
