I believe that is is very important that students give their point of view about their preference in current employments. They present the reality to the world on how their experience at their job is. Therefore, is very valuable that other students know where to turn their head into the future.
Comparing this list with the list of most desirable companies for US business students, it’s interesting to me to see which companies remain highly ranked and which have gone up or down in the rankings. Although it seems obvious, I thought it was interesting that many of the companies with international headquarters went up in ranking, showing that from a global perspective, international companies are just as desirable as ones based in the United States.
I noticed when looking at the US business students’ ideal employers that many of the companies were popular brands that have made a good reputation and were overall successful over the years. Companies such as Google, L’Oreal, and Apple were popular in other countries as well, such as Spain, Poland, and Australia. Not only have these companies made a good name for themselves in the United States, but all over the world. While reading these desirable employers, I thought about the endless opportunities these successful companies would bring to any employer, and how I would love to work for them as well.
