    A Few Extra Tips

    • Think Comparatively: Whenever you can, provide context by comparing your data to the U.S. For example, if the country has a GDP of X, how does that compare to the U.S.? Or, compare the country’s size to the US (or a US state)
    • Cultural Differences: When discussing cultural etiquette or Hofstede scores, remember to identify at least two key differences between the culture of this country and the U.S.
    • Stay Practical: Pretend youre actually moving to this countrywhat would you need to know to live and work there and to do your job effectively (and avoid major faux pas!)?
