internship in Corerain in Shenzhen

Having been an intern of Corerain in Shenzhen for almost one month, I think I gain a lot from this experience. First of all, it provides me with plenty of cases in real life about how to sell a product and how to conduct marketing procedure. Other than that, I also acquired some useful technical skills like the layer covering and photoshop. For the rest time, I will also make my every endeavor to overcome all the difficulties in work and achieve my individual value finally.

Generally speaking, there is a big gap between the school's living environment and the social working environment. During these six weeks, I learned how to change the role of a student to a professional. The school focuses on developing students' learning and professional skills. The society focuses on the professional knowledge and business skills of its employees. In order to meet the social survival requirements, in addition to strengthening the theoretical knowledge in the classroom, we must personally contact the society to participate in work practices. This internship experience allowed me to consolidate my knowledge and use it, broaden my horizons and enrich my knowledge.

Internship

First of all, you need to figure out the career direction that you are interested in and prepare your own resume. Then the staff will contact you and have a phone call with you to discuss for more detail. After that the staff will look for proper positions according to your preference. They will help you sent out your resume as well and of course you need to attend the interview by yourself. After you successfully applied for the internship, they will book the air ticket and pick you in the airport. Accommodation is provided, and it is very closed to the metro. They will follow up your condition any time during your internship period. The company they found for client is generally in the leading position in corresponding industry, which have open, positive and amiable working atmosphere. Overall, the project is worth trying.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Lots of people in Shanghai smoke while walking....

intern

I am so excited about this intern experience. I learned a lot from this intern. In addition to better understanding of professional knowledge, I have also learned the necessary qualities of some professionals, such as pragmatism, innovation and so on.
From the first day of internship,I was deeply impressed by the harmonious atmosphere, humanized management and pragmatic work style. As an intern in marketing department, collecting information is the basic and important job. In the process of collecting samples and information, I learned a lot about their brand in the industry. Also, in each week, I need to write two articles, which improved my writing skill. I felt this is a meaningful experience. This internship can complete my resume as well.

Six weeks intern in SH

The overall internship experience was good. From start, NSC found me several consulting and event planning companies up to my expectation. I chose to go to a boutique digital consulting company. It was a startup and half of the workers here are interns. Before this internship, I only had experience at financial instituitions and I was not familiar with social media management, advertising and copywrighting at all. My supervisor and coworkser were very helpful. They explained the assigned work very detailedly. And they were glad to give me advises to improve working efficiency. During the internship, I learnt about consulting industry and digital advertising. The workload was heavy but I did learnt a lot. It definitely prepared me for my future career.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
All the coworkers are very devoted to work. The avarage working time is over 12 hours a day. Startups are good for people who want to gain knowledge and experiences in a very short time.

New Experience

The six-week internship in Shanghai allowed me to turn the theories learnt into practices and understand the China market more thoroughly. Shanghai is a good place to stay at, with convenient transportation, efficient food delivery service, friendly environemnt, cozy weather, as well as a huge variety of food and many leisure places to visit during the weekend. The Program enabled me to experience Shanghai in different ways and meet some new friends here. People here are friendly and helpful. The working culture here is quite flexible and easy to adapt to. Working in a multinational company specializes in travel marketing, PR and communications, and digital marketing enabled me to learn more about the industry and the latest travel market trends, which helped my future career development.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Enjoy and food and places here. Try new things, and remember to apply for mobile payment methods.

Internship Program

The internship has been a month. Open communication was one of the strongest and most apparent skills that I learned during my internship. When I first started interning, I was intimidated and nervous to ask too many questions because I didn’t want to admit that I didn’t understand or that I needed extra help with something. Luckily I got over that fear quickly because asking questions is the only way to learn what you are really supposed to be doing. I found that my boss and fellow staff members appreciated it more if I asked too many questions to make sure I really understood what it was doing and that I did it correctly. If I had not worked with such cooperative and helpful people, I probably would have been too intimidated to ask questions in my next job. Now that I know it is not bad to ask questions, I won’t have to struggle with it in my future job. Without open communication between everyone in an office, I don’t see how any work can be done.

I am very grateful to the internship unit for providing me with such a good internship opportunity. Through this, I have definitely gained valuable work experience, and grew as an individual.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Actually before the internship, I feel warried for my hotel. Because compare the study tour we are not good. But not bad when I lived in. It's amazing.

Experienced the busy and Prosperous journey of Shanghai

My name is Liu Chang. I am working in SMH International as a intern.The company's address is located on South Shaanxi Road, only four metro stations away from our hotel. I mainly responsible for the department of new media, the main task of this deparment is writing newsleter.For example, one of the wechat public account essay written by me is"California Strawberry Opens the Cool Summer" .From this kind of task I have learned how to write eassy in “Wechat language”.

Translating dish recipes is also an important task which I have ever done. From these recipes I learned some foreign spices which I had never heard before,such as sweet basil,Jiliet,etc.The fantastic ideas of foreigh chefs also opened my eyes.

Also, I did some simple and boring work,such as translate addredd list, scan newspaper and so on. But there’s always someone to do that.

Most noteworthy of all is that,I made hundreds of customer service calls,which greatly improved my psychological quality and ability to communicate with strangers.

As for the Accommodation arrangements,Thank NSC for choosing the Rujia Selected Hotel in Xujiahui , a busy downtown area. The hotel is located in a convenient geographical place. It is very close to Xujiahui Metro Station and Shanghai Stadium Metro Station. It is surrounded by shops and supermarkets, with a wide range of restaurants and coffee shops. The hotel's facilities are also very good, the rooms are very large, and we can have a good-taste breakfast every day.

Finally, thanks to the CBS and NSC's arrangement of internship in SH,I am very satisfied with everything about this project.
