Directions: (Questions 31-40) Read the passage given below and answer questions.

Working overseas is always a challenge for any professional and if you are an Indian, always strive to give your best as Indians have always been considered intelligent, hardworking, talented and spiritual. Indians have always excelled in a competitive working environment and working overseas was something many Indians desired but few achieved till the information technology boom opened several white-collar job opportunities for them in global markets. However, securing employment abroad may be an achievement but retaining it, is quite a challenge as a professional required constant demonstration of professionalism and exacting standards of competence. Then, there is the challenge of working in an alien environment coupled with numerous other variables like culture, people, work ethics, local regulations, etc. that one is expected to cope up with to be successful on the job. Change, thus, becomes inevitable as one moves into a new work environment and the best way to tackle change is to be prepared for it, and adapt to it rapidly. Let us dwell on some key factors that could be useful when adapting to a foreign environment.

Each country is a mix of cultural and social influences that make it unique. Religious belief, way of speaking and behaviour, customs and traditions would all come across as very different. Also, home sickness and loneliness, all aspects of life and livelihood appear confusing, alien and difficult to comprehend. Privacy is highly valued in most countries which tends to translate into loneliness for most expatriates. One should experience the new cultlure and try different forms of entertainment and make friends among people coming from different cultural backgrounds. When you start work it is a good idea to be observant. Absorb as much as you can about systems in the organization and adjust accordingly.

Must you speak the language of the country you are in? Yes, you should be at least conversational. Co-workers want to speak their own language and will not be entirely comfortable if they cannot understand you. Even within the same language English, pronunciation can be a problem.

Westerners are particular about time so always make sure that you stick to time for meetings, attending offices and even social gatherings. Superiors at work and seniors are addressed by their first name. ‘Sir’ and ‘Madam’ are not much in vogue. Mix with a wide variety of people. Respect others’ cultural background and keep clear ofracist orsexist remarks and beliefs. Adapt to the local culture and traditions and be aware of the local favourites they are good social conversation breakers.

Layoffs may be a stigma in India since it is relatively unheard of in white-collar jobs but the term ‘job security’ does not exist in developed world. Accept this as a part of the work hazard and do not let it affect your performance. Keep updating skills and knowledge constantly so that current skills are readily accepted in the job market, if you need to move on. Cost of medical services can prove to the prohibitive. Opt for health insurance cover at all time. If you travel a lot, consider travel and household insurance too. It is useful to be registered with the nearest Indian mission so that you can be easily reached in case of an eventuality.
