Brenda (Hong Kong)

MP has helped to open a lot of doors in the field of sales and marketing. Employers are always interested in the experience that I have had at MP. On a personal level, I would have to say this was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Working and living in a foreign country every couple of months helped me to see the different sides of myself – I don’t think I could have learned that much about myself if I had stayed at in Kansas.

The most important thing I have learned is to think on my feet. Every day was a different day and I couldn’t anticipate what was going to happen next. I had to make quick decisions based on limited information. I also had to be creative and learn to look a problem from many different angles and figure out ways to over come it. I am glad that MP provide me the environment to develop those skills set that are crucial to my current and furture career development.

I got lost ALL the time – trying to read road signs in another language was already a challenge but when companies used “the palm tree on the right” as their nearby landmark, that is another story.
