Job hunting more difficult
for foreign students here
United Press International
HONOLULU — As coordi
nator of Career Development
and Placement at Brigham
Young University-Hawaii, H.
Galley Hanenberg travels some
17,000 miles a year to the Far
East, Southeast Asia and the
Pacific Basin.
BYUH has a large foreign
student enrollment and Miss
Hanenberg arranges job inter
views for students in their home
countries.
She has contacts with person
nel directors at banks, account
ing firms, educational institu
tions and government agencies
as well as travel industry
businesses and restaurants.
“I try to line up employers so
that when a student graduates
he or she can establish contacts
within their home countries,”,
she said. “I give the students
contacts, and the interviews de
termine whether they get placed
or not. The fact that nationals
are going home to work really
pleases me.”
For foreign students studying
elsewhere, she offers some
advice if they intend to return to
their homeland to seek employ
ment.
“There are five basic prere
quisites I consider most impor
tant,” Mrs. Hanenberg said:
— Complete a course in a vi
able area — “something the stu
dent’s country needs or has a de
mand for.”
— Besides earning good
grades, “The student should re
search early on what he or she
wants, and do homework on it.
Begin as a junior by writing the
companies for information and
interviews. No matter what the
economic conditions, companies
are always looking for good
people.”
— Bone up on interview skills.
— Make contacts prior to re
turning home.
— Follow through on con
tacts.
Mrs. Hanenberg said stu
dents who earn advanced de
grees “carry a lot more weight.
Many firms won’t look at a BA
(Bacnelor of Arts) degree.”
Also, multinational companies
are interested in students who
hold several visas.
One area where countries
need help now is in hotel man
agement.

“It’s an

Mrs. Hanenberg said she de

mation of foreign students from
unsure freshmen to mature
seniors and candidates for adv
anced degrees.

Road to top not
in conventional advice
By Glenn Kaplan
United Press International
The real rules of success are
worlds away from the over
simplified cliches we grow up
with and so often read in those
“how to succeed” manuals.
In interviews with hun
dreds of top executives on
achieving success in business,
I found I had to bury most of
the conventional wisdom and
advice.
The way to get ahead de
pends on the career you enter
and how well you can play the
special rules you’ll find there.
Some examples from my
book, “The Big Time: How
Success Really Works in 14
Top Business Careers”:
— The early bird catches
the worm.
Not if you’re in the record
ing industry where you can’t
even rouse a secretary until
10:30 or 11 am. That’s be
cause in pop music, it’s the
LATE bird who catches the
talent — performing in the
wee hours of the morning
under less than businesslike
conditions. Nothing succeeds
like success.
Famed management con
sulting guru Bruce Hender
son failed his way to the top of
his field. Twice caught in poli
tical crossfire, he was twice
fired.
Unemployed at 47, he did
not hear his phone ringing off
the hook with offers. He took
a friend’s advice and began
selling his experience as a
free-lance consultant.
Today Henderson’s firm,
the Boston Consulting Group,
has offices worldwide. And
his phone doesn’t stop
ringing.
— Never take a new job
unless it raises your salary.
About 10 years ago, a Wall
Street analyst in his mid-20s
turned down a $6,000 raise
from his staid old firm. In
stead, he went down the street
to a younger firm — but at his
old $18,000 salary.
His gamble paid off. Within
a year, profit sharing raised
him to $42,000, a year later to
$81,000. Today Peter Cohen
is chief executive of the mam
moth Shearson-American Ex
press, and earns in excess of
*500,000 before bonuses and
other perks.
