GPOD Employee Testimonials
Being a GPOD gives you opportunities and insights into different kinds of work lives and company cultures you won’t be able to gain elsewhere.
As a GPOD, using my full skill set is rewarding, each day presents a new challenge. I enjoy the variety of my responsibilities.
The truly rewarding part of this job is my duties extend beyond teaching English. I can help to facilitate smoother communication and cultural understanding.
"GDI has enabled me to acquire new skills and propel my career forward into a field beyond what is readily available to expats."
Working as a Global Person On Demand is one of the highlights of being here at GDI. 100% upstanding, personalized experience. All in-house.
"As an Overseas Business Development GPOD, GDI provided me the opportunity to travel the world, experience new cultures, and meet all kinds of people."
Experiencing new things is the most rewarding part of this job. As a GPOD, I am a valuable team member and I can apply my skills in a wide variety of environments.
The most important attribute to being a GPODis ambition. I always try to anticipate the various circumstances that may arise and to not be complacent.
My email correspondence with the overseas offices has made me more aware of my communication style, becoming more accurate and more easily understood.
