You are the newly hired HR Project Coordinator - International. You are new to the organization - just got hired because you interviewed very well and sold yourself on being able to accept new and diverse experiences creating people-focused strategy plans.

The assignment is to open a new office and staff the office within the next 4 months. You have got to get acclimated to the new country before you begin hiring the team. You have not had an overseas assignment, so you will need to do research on what steps to take as a leader and working in HR. Think about the information in the chapter. You do not want to fail and this role will immediately lead to another promotion is this assignment goes well.

Develop a checklist of what you would do to prepare for a two (2) year overseas assignment, from the reading of Chapter 3, to ensure your work and your talents are aligned for the assignment. You may select from one of the following assignment locations to complete your checklist:

    Hong Kong, China

    Jakarta, Indonesia

    The Republic of Singapore, Singapore

    Cape Town, South Africa

    Dubai
