(Where is Mauritius?)

This recording is a short interview of a young Mauritian named Kunal who studied at the Imperial College of London and then came to Telecom Paris in order to finish his studies and to learn more about IT.
The interview was about his studies and his experience in different cultures: the Mauritian culture, the English culture and the French culture.
We questioned him about his view of the working atmosphere in France and in England, about the main differences in relationships between the employees and the things that surprised him the most in those cultures.
We also tackled the subject of his career goals and asked him to explain his decisions.
We think that this interview is very interesting for various reasons:
- First, it shows us the importance of multicultural work environments in companies today and the way we will have to deal with them in our future professional lives.
- It also focuses on an interesting point: the use of new technologies in the professional world (videoconferences, podcasting…)
- Finally it describes quite well the evolution of mentalities today and how it affects job mobility for young people all over the world. Nowadays we are able to move wherever we want in the world to find a good and interesting job, as has certainly been the case for Kunal.
Guillaume and Thomas
thank you Kunal!
