World Trade Fair Job Descriptions

Job	Responsibilities
President	You are a proud leader of your country.  You are responsible for making sure that the other presidents know all about your country.  You are also responsible for collecting information about country profiles from other presidents. As you communicate with the other presidents consider the following: What are your needs and wants as a country? What are the products/ resources that the other countries need and want? Are there any countries that you might be able to partner with in order to make a better product or sale?
Finance Minister	You are the money man.  You are responsible for setting prices on the products that your country will sell.  You will also help manage the money and the resources after the trade minister has returned from trading.    When you meet with the other finance ministers, you should pay attention to the following: What countries have a lot of money to spend? What countries have only a little money to spend? How might the amount of each country affect the prices of your product?
Trade Minister	You are the trade master.  You will be trading at the trade fair with the communications manager at your side to help you make decisions and use convincing and fair language to make sales. When you go to trade, you should think about: What products are the most important to my country being successful? What are least important?
Communications Minister	You are the communications manager.  You will work with the other communications manager to discuss rules and guidelines for speaking with one another when trading.   When you go to make these rules with others, you should consider: What kind of rules should we have to make sure communication happens smoothly?
