Hi everyone,
I am currently a U.S. professional student working toward an advance degree. I’m taking a class right now through my college to prepare for studying aboard in the next year or two. I have to write an essay about professionalism and timeliness in another country other than the U.S. If anyone has a couple minutes free time to help me (since I have to have a short correspondence with someone from another country) it would be really appreciated! I just need some questions answered, multiple responses from different people would be really appreciated as well!
- What is your name? (First name is just fine, I do not need a last name) What stage in your professional/scholastic career are you in (ex. high school student, undergraduate, professional student, not in school but working fulltime, etc.)?
- What country are you originally from?
- Have you worked or studied in the U.S? If so, for how long?
- How would your country define timeliness in a professional setting? (ex. at work, school, etc.)
- What are some consequences of missing deadlines in your country? Does it differ in a professional setting vs. a school setting?
- Are there any instances where missing a deadline is okay, or practiced commonly?
- Do you have any personal examples you can mention about missing a deadline and the consequences you suffered because of it?
- If you have any experience in the U.S., does your country's definition of timeliness differ than what you experience in the U.S.?
Thanks again for anyone who responds!
Penny
