English Lecture 3, 2012

English on the Job

with Susannah Bradley

July 19 – 16:20–17:50 in Room 6206

I started working part-time while I was a high school student.  I followed a winding career path before taking up full-time employment with Pyramid Educational Consultants, an international firm.  After working there for eighteen months, I was named Director of Operations for Japan. I will share the typical tasks I perform at work and the educational and employment background that made me ready to carry them out.  I want to challenge any wrong ideas you might have about what it’s like to be raised bilingually, and about the job of a director in an international company.
