My name is Ben Tran and I am currently a doctoral candidate studying for my Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Organizational Consulting at California School of Business and Organizational Studies (CSBOS) at Alliant International University (AIU) at San Francisco, California [formerly known as California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP)] and would like to be an expatriate myself in the future (http://www.alliant.edu). I am currently working on my dissertation titled Expatriate Selection and Retention. The purpose of my dissertation is to get a better understand of expatriates’ experiences. I would like to get a better understand concerning the expatriate’s pre-departure experience. I would greatly appreciate it if you are willing and able to share your experiences with me as an expatriate. I am interested in hearing from potential expatriates, currently expatriates, retried expatriates, and human resource personnel who are involved in the expatriation process. Please contact me at ben4ben2ben@yahoo.com for complete information along with a copy of the questionnaire and consent form. Thank you.
