Despite the crisis the context is favourable

Abroad is not an end in itself! "Neither during nor after school", Sonny Roland Vardanega, former technical director and President of the society of Arts and crafts engineers and industry PSA Peugeot Citroën. This boss is not fan of widespread debate in schools, where we swear only by China and other exotic countries. It is not the only one. Listening to recruiters and consultants on the subject, moderation is necessary. "To expose to the international remains crucial. But can quite realize a career without having to go to at the outset by the case of expatriation, explains Jean-Pierre Doly, founder of the cabinet Council Doly & Partners.

Force of rubbing shoulders congeners from all continents, the temptation is great for graduates to move away very quickly their hexagonal base. "All those who fly abroad soon graduates are the by personal motivation, for fun or the taste of adventure." "As an extension of student life", recognizes Denis Broliquier, pedagogical Manager at Lyon Idrac. Anthony Bosc, twenty-five years, a graduate of Grenoble EM in July 2009, disown, he was awarded a first job near Milan, in a large household appliances: "I really want to discover different cultures, he said."

Despite the crisis, the context is favourable. According to two recent global studies, those of cabinet Council The Economist Intelligence Unit (1) and ACE International (2), half of the companies plan to increase the number of their senior expatriate in the coming years. Focus on express assignments of less than one year. The young graduate thus has interest to weigh the pros and cons before choosing illico an expatriation. Except if it has a specific project - create his company to the Viet Nam or the Brazil, for example.

Apart from such cases, the question deserves to be considered carefully. The argument for an immediate departure is classic: a recruit of less than twenty-five years will have a high capacity to adapt. "Bend to the habits and customs of a country, even European, requires an agility of mind and no a priori", explains Pascal Daoglio, associated with the Office of recruitment Neumann International. However, this quality is not the preserve of youth: it is a State of mind. Attention also do not accept the first job came." A position lower than that in which the candidate could argue here, alert a HRD. His career may be penalized. I thus observed disillusionment among juniors in finance, revenue in New York or London. "Pascal Daoglio, he sees two possible strategies. The first: seize the opportunity to leave immediately. "A management graduate from Mount a supermarket in the Philippines, for example, to enhance a superb experience." An option which may be preferred if, by its socio-familial environment (diplomats parents or bicultural international frameworks...), the graduate is accustomed to a global mobility or if the position is promising.

Another approach, less attractive but more accessible: start first job at the headquarters of a multinational, the time to learn methods of work, values, a trade... before capitalizing on this abroad. "In addition, it is good to be first to know and recognize in the hexagon", continues Jean-Pierre Doly. Weaving its internal network intramural will better bounce back and evolve.

Many large groups are on this position. "Our young graduates starting in France and then only, they will live the expatriation, said Jean-Sébastien white, HRD of Alstom Transport. But we do not rule age or profile. It all depends on the expertise or the capabilities of the framework, of his desire and our needs. "Then patience. And then can rub international by remaining in the country. In working on multicultural projects. The evidence These factory Valenciennes Alstom engineers trams and metros for 20 countries.
