Learning

"Life at Global Sources is better than doing any kind of theoretical studies in any educational institution in the world. I have learned about marketing, selling, management, training and the works–just by being a part of this organization. I think I would have had to spend half my life studying in college if I had to otherwise learn all these by myself."
—Manoj, National Sales Manager

"Life in Global Sources is full of motivation and a sense of harmony. On the one hand, working with capable professionals motivates me to ceaselessly improve myself; on the other hand, everyone is willing to learn from each other and grow together in a harmonized atmosphere."
—Dina, Exhibitor Support Executive

"I am so proud to be working with my bosses...experts in their respective fields, they teach me a lot, while giving me the chance to excel."
—Allan, Senior Art Director

Challenges

"Life at Global Sources is like an extreme sports adventure that takes you from one challenge to another under time pressure. The good thing about it is that I have wonderful teammates who act as my support mechanism."
—Melanie, Managing Editor

"I arrived in Hong Kong as an Assistant Copywriter in 1992, fresh from being a Captain of Britain's Royal Artillery. Since then, I have worked as copywriter, marketing executive, sales executive, chief representative and now as Key Accounts Manager. The organization has offered me the chance to work in different countries and take on some extreme challenges. Through that, it has given me the opportunity to learn about the business and the environments in which it operates."
—Tim, Key Accounts Manager

"I was an accountant before I joined Global Sources as a Sales Manager in Taiwan for the TEG. Selling for Asian Sources stretched me right from the start. But I soon realized that I could make good money if I worked hard."
—Jarvis, GSOL/EC Chief Representative

Enjoying work

"I joined Global Sources as an account executive and moved to Sales Manager. I find my job very rewarding on three levels - personal, corporate and national. The growth of Global Sources mirrors the growth of China. I am benefiting with a rewarding job, but I am also helping my country in its drive to expand international trading links."
—Catty, General Manager

"I compare life at Global Sources to the sitcom Seinfeld. The clients are Kramers, always coming up with fanciful and bewildering ideas (read: marketing strategies). The Copywriters and Content Quality team are the Georges and Elaines. To outsiders they seem unnecessarily focused on the minutiae and dogmatic. The Client Service Officers are Seinfeld, a voice of reason that tries to make all parties happy. Hilarity ensues, and in the end everybody learns to forgive one another's idiosyncrasies, make compromises and remain good friends."
—David, Senior Copywriter

"Even before I joined Global Sources, all my former colleagues and interviewees in the industry knew about and talked highly of Global Sources, that's why I wanted to join. I'm here now, where I wanted to be, doing what I like to do. Among other things, I like the feeling that we are doing our job, contributing to the bigger-scale..."
—Dong-Wook, Managing Editor

"The commitment, the loyalty that most team members manifest is awesome. It's contagious too!"
—Eric, Corporate Communications Supervisor
