Dream Careers: International Management
On the Global Career Expo hosted by University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) last month, I found this wonderful career opportunity: HSBC’s International Management (website: http://www.hsbc.com/1/2/imcareers )
HSBC's International Management
A special point in this program is that HSBC’s IM is available for new graduates. You don’t need 10 years experience to apply, and candidates from any field / background are welcome.
The toughest issue: The candidate must be influent in at least 1 language other than English.
I’ve been dreaming for a career like this for all my life 
Gonna apply for this someday. Well, it’s gonna be extremely tough, so wish me luck

Business Strategy Games
This semester I’m taking one subject from Business Faculty, Strategic Business Management. A tough subject for a guy who doesn’t know much about the business theories and concepts like me. But it’s a really cool subject, especially when I’m getting bored with so many theories in IT management.
What special about this subject must be the Business Strategy Game, an online business strategy online game accompanying with Thompson, Strictland & Gamble’s “Crafting & Executing Strategy” book. This is a turn-based game in which 1 turn represents 1 year. Each team of players must make decisions for each year and the result each year will be calculated based on how competitive each decision is (price, quality, advertising budget,…)
I still don’t understand every aspect of this complicated game, so I’m playing 2 other games to learn more about the complicated business world. These 2 games are Monopoly Tycoon and Capitalism II.
Of those two, I highly recommend the Monopoly Tycoon for beginners since it’s easy and quite fun to play.
Capitalism II is much more complicated with full of business stuffs.
Hope that someone out there is playing these games, online playing against human must be much more exciting
