Career Search: Difference is Cultural Expectations

The types of jobs both men and women hold in different countries are not universal, and often cultural, social, and religious factors play a role in employment decisions. Even government policy and rules often determine how employment decisions can be made. What might be an acceptable hiring/employment practice in one place might not be true in another country.

In this listening activity, we discuss these issues in a somewhat humorous way. Give it a try.
