As a Junior Financial Analyst and undergraduate with 3.8 GPA it took me 1 and a half year I think to secure a job. Even though I graduated with a higher GPA it was hard for me to get a job here in Spain and I literally wasted one year of my life searching and developing skills I didn't really have to, but all I needed was a practical experience with real data, numbers and office.
Thanks to Go Abroad China I was able to secure job within 2 months of returning back to my home country after doing a finance internship in China. Everything went smoothly and I was placed in a city bank and I was able to develop real world and why I choose China is because it lives in the future, and every task would be challenging and motivating. Just one note, this business training could be improved even more to give a little more clear details of the host company and it'll help stranger like me to fit in a little fast.
What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
my advice would be to go and develop real world skills, don't just take city tours and Chinese adventures but make sure while returning you have real world skills to show and achieve what you want from that.
