In general lines, However, & Eacute; poss & iacute; vel state that the professional relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international es should have some character & iacute; personal sticas b & aacute; ns, as adaptability, ability to understand difference & ccedil; the, thinking strategy & eacute; magician and good dispositions & ccedil; & atilde, the to meet new cultures.

What is the salary range for those who work with Rela & ccedil; & otilde; s International?
RC: Gradually the professional relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international es t & ecirc; m found its SPACE, the labor market, which still leaves uncertain the salary range. However, & Eacute; poss & iacute; vel note that the rec & eacute; m graduates working in large firms earn between R $ 1 thousand and R $ 1,5 thousand.

What s & atilde; the & the aacute; areas of acts & ccedil; & atilde; that of a professional Rela & ccedil; & otilde; s International?
RC: The professional can work in virtually every aacute &; areas that T & ecirc; m any alloy & ccedil; & atilde, the, even if indirect, with the quest & otilde; s International. Like this, there are more possibilities Cl & aacute; ssicas and obvious, as diplomacy, negotiates & ccedil; & otilde; s International, Miss & otilde, is peace, cooperates & ccedil; & atilde; international. On the other hand, & Eacute; important also & eacute; m note that there are possibilities less & oacute; bvias, but they seem to be the most promising, and which are & HAND connected to the tasks j á Consolidated other aacute &; areas, as marketing, customer service, stratum & eacute; & ccedil gia business and govern; to. Regardless of á area in which it wants to act, the important thing for the professional relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international s & eacute; able to connect the activity that is playing with the quest & atilde; international. For this, & Eacute; essential to understand the conseq & uuml; & ecirc; TRENDS the interdepend & ecirc, international INSTANCE, understand the global production chains, flows (financial, migrated & oacute; rios, Informa & ccedil; & otilde; it is…), and the din & acirc; mica conflict / cooperation & ccedil; & atilde, which ultimately influence the ability to act & ccedil; & atilde; the inside of a pa & iacute; s.

& Eacute; necessarily have to live off-pa & iacute; s?
RC: N & atilde; the & eacute; I need to live off-pa & iacute; s, Mas & eacute; highly aconselh & aacute; vel. To contr & aacute; rio than most people realize, only a small part of the relationship & ccedil professionals; & otilde, international es are traveling the world. Everyday tasks of professional, generally, is & HAND as connected to a fixed point, still to remain in constant contact with people around the world. The id & eacute; b & would abstract; silica & eacute; the professional will be dedicated to the ccedil &; & otilde; es that fa & ccedil; am with the relation & ccedil; & otilde, international es continue to flow. Like this, be a professional relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international es n & atilde, the it can be confused with being the relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international es itself.

& Eacute; the type of profession & atilde; comprehensive to have & aacute; many & aacute; areas of acts & ccedil; & atilde, the?
RC:  In a pre & oacute; Pria set MAKE-HANDS; j á & Eacute; poss & iacute; vel see that there are many á areas of acts & ccedil; & atilde, the. We can talk about relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international pol es & iacute; optical, commercial, diplom & aacute; ticas, cooperatives, subnational, transnational… This opening lets students lost time to look for jobs, giving the impression & atilde; the n & atilde; the work which has. The secret & eacute; first identify what the person likes to do. Once this is done, one should look for a place to work and that requires this profile. Only in a second time & eacute; the professional relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international es should seek to league & ccedil; & otilde; es between what is & aacute; making and the international world. Always advocate id & eacute; was that a student n & atilde, the should expect a job & quot; relation & ccedil; & otilde; s International" but the marketing, with & eacute; foreign commerce, customer service… e, since working with this, show that you have some advantages.

What are the best colleges to Rela & ccedil; & otilde; s International?
RC: This & eacute; a complicated question to answer in that the courses vary widely in shape and in the proposed form & ccedil; & atilde, the. I will stick only to courses which j & aacute; had some alloy & ccedil; & atilde, the. Some feature a nature more pol & iacute; tica (as at PUC-SP), while others seek a more econ profile & FLYING; mico (as FAAP and FACAMP); there are still more focused & worse courses; strategy & eacute; strategy (as UNIBERO).

As the work in NGOs works?
RC: For the professional relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international s & eacute this; a field that has opened, but still very slowly. Two possibilities come immediately establishing these & ccedil; & otilde; es. The first & eacute; connected & worse; picks & ccedil; & atilde, the international resources. H á a very large demand from the Brazilian NGO for international resources, and know how to identify the right partner and make a good project captures & ccedil; & atilde; the & eacute; a task that can be developed by the professional relationship & ccedil; & otilde; s International (yet few professionals are qualified to do this type of activity). Another possibility of acts & ccedil; & atilde; the & eacute; part of cooperation & ccedil; & atilde; international, it requires a skilled professional to tailor a design & aggravate; reality of their pa & iacute; s, at the same time keep ecirc &; m a common language with international partner.

The Brazilian market has support for this professional & aacute; area?
RC: The Brazilian market is still NGO & aacute; quite immature for this kind of professional, thing happens in other á areas of acts & ccedil; & atilde; of that professional. Gradually we discovered the import & acirc; ROLE of the ccedil &; & otilde; es that this professional can develop. We spent all our hist & oacute; ria with few people working in the á area of ​​relationship & ccedil; & otilde; s International, still it takes time to consolidate & ccedil; & atilde, the this new á rea. Even with the pressure & atilde, which Brazil suffers the world, is no sense of internationalizing, I believe we will still need at least 10 years to come & ccedil, air really sedimentary field acts & ccedil; & atilde; the relation & ccedil professional; & otilde; s International. People who have been dedicated to this á area now duty & atilde, be aware that the h & aacute; very challenge ahead, but also & eacute; m & atilde power, the leverage opportunities still untapped.

If a student decides to take a course of Interceptor & acirc; mBio another pa & iacute; s, what kind of course you & ecirc; advise?
RC: The Interceptor & acirc; mBio can be in any á rea. The student must find a theme you like and deepen this á rea. & Eacute; Interestingly, in other pa & iacute; ses, especially Europeans, there are rela & ccedil courses; & otilde, more delimited International es (as cooperates & ccedil; & atilde; international, integrates & ccedil; & atilde; regional, Community law & aacute; rio, resolutions & ccedil; & atilde, the conflict…). A good way & eacute; students do graduate & ccedil; & atilde; the relationship in & ccedil; & otilde; s International in Brazil and, then, making a p oacute; s & ccedil graduates; & HAND into a pa & iacute; s foreign.

What is the difference ccedil &; the relationship between & ccedil; & otilde; es and International & eacute; foreign commerce?
RC: With & eacute; foreign commerce has a lighter object, that s & atilde; or the relationship & ccedil & otilde; is commercial. Thereby, this professional & aacute; area studies of the procedural (customs clearance), & Worse; international part itself (prospecting & ccedil & atilde; the markets), going through what comes in between these two ends (log RIVER stica). J á the professional relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international es n & atilde, the object has a clear, so that can study different things. For those who end up directing for the quest & atilde; commercial, perhaps the main difference ccedil &; to be the professional relationship & ccedil; & otilde; s International focuses more on the quest & otilde; macro-, ligadas & aggravate; in & acirc; small business, while the professional with & eacute; foreign commerce focuses more on the quest & atilde; the daily lives of trades & ccedil; & otilde; es. Both S & atilde, the equally important and t & ecirc; m complemented the work of each other.

What are the main skills that a professional of their abstract &; rea must purchase?
RC: Thinking strategy & eacute; gallic, that is, ability to articulate v á rivers factors of different nature seems one of the main skills that a good professional can present. We have to understand what s & atilde, the commercial impact of a decision & atilde; pol & iacute; tica. What s & atilde, the the conseq & uuml; & ecirc; TRENDS for integrating & ccedil; & atilde; regional when h & aacute; a new trend & ecirc; productive INSTANCE underway. What s & atilde, the impacts on regional stability when a pa & iacute; s start a war with its neighbor. The problems we face when we operate with relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international es require this ability to articulate & ccedil; & atilde; the id & eacute; ias and development poss & iacute; LEVELS cen á rivers. In n & iacute; personal level, professional need to be very sure of yourself and your id & eacute; ias. Anal stringency & iacute; optical & eacute; fundamental for this professional display and take the & ccedil; & otilde; es that reaches & ccedil, air & atilde; success.

What are the main R & iacute; LANGUAGES we need to talk?
RC:  The ingl & ecirc; s & eacute; one R & iacute; ngua b á silica, fundamental. In the case of Brazilian, Spanish appears as a R & iacute; also important ngua. The remaining R & iacute; n & LANGUAGES atilde; s & atilde, the key to the development of the activities of most relationship & ccedil professionals; & otilde; s International, but certainly help a lot in designing a career. The franc & ecirc; s and beyond & atilde, the appear as important R & iacute; LANGUAGES Brazilian to the extent that we have v á holiday companies such pa & iacute; ses installed in Brazil. Anyway, I believe to be an error to replace England & ecirc; s Spanish and any other R & iacute; ngua, while n & atilde, the have the gift & iacute; nio these two, focus on other & eacute; a risk in perspective of career.

What types of charity projects I can develop pursuing this profession & atilde, the?
RC: The performs & ccedil; & atilde, the independent charitable projects chosen career. In the case of relationship & ccedil; & otilde, international es h & aacute; a range of possibilities for acts & ccedil; & otilde; es for the benefit of communities or people, in a broader perspective. Among them, there is the part & ccedil; & atilde; em & miss otilde; s peace, a project cooperates & ccedil; & atilde; international, aid and reconstruction & ccedil; & atilde; the pa & iacute; ses devastated by tragedy & eacute; natural days… The important thing here & eacute; keep in mind that n & atilde; it is just the one to & ccedil; & atilde, the beneficent, quite the contrary, to the ccedil &; & atilde, the must be professional, with planning, log RIVER stica, resources and objectives.
