We recently asked our Lenovo recruitment team (Krista Jaeckel, Erin Jernigan, and Jane Shephard) to share some tips for working at a global corporation. Their answers are below.

Do you have a question you’ve always wanted to ask recruiters? Share in the comments

What are some tips for working at a global corporation?
 

Krista Jaekel:

Good communication skills both verbal and written. Being able to work in a team environment especially with people who are different from yourself. Being respectful. Have an open mind.
 

Erin Jernigan:

- Ability to listen and understand another point of view

- Using time wisely during meetings to avoid back-forth between time zones

- Adjust your communication styles accordingly

- Flexibility
 

Jane Shephard:

Be engaged - look for opportunities to volunteer and take advantage of a global team to meet and collaborate with others from different backgrounds.

    Thanks for the rips. I have a question about volunteering though. How are people who actually have to work to pay the bills supposed to do that? Except on a very limited basis in what little spare time they may have.

    Ask a recruiter: What does your company/organization do to see value in its employees?

    SOMETIMES BUSINESS CO-WORKERS HAVE A WORKING LUNCH OR DINNER AT A RESTAURANT.  WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO DIVIDE THE BIL IN SUCH A CASE?

  • I like the advice about meetings and being cognizant of folks in other time zones. Very important!
