Sophie Corcut
Analyst, Accenture (Management Consultancy) “On my return from China I was quickly accepted on to a graduate scheme at management consultants Accenture. Coming back from China, you’ve got this one thing on your CV that makes you stand out – it shows you have some get up and go.”
Emma Whenham
Trainee Solicitor at a Top Five "Magic Circle" London Law Firm “My CRCC internship provided me with a fantastic introduction to the Chinese legal sphere, allowing me to develop both skills and contacts which proved to be immensely valuable. As a result of my experiences, I have been inspired to take secondment opportunities in China with my current firm and to focus my career towards Asia in the longterm.”
Jernica Williams
Graduate Scheme with the UK Financial Services Authority “My internship in China provided me with an invaluable resource during the graduate scheme application process. I was able to demonstrate commercial awareness, flexibility and initiative which helped me to secure a job.”
David O’Mahony
Account Manager, Google I’m now an Account Manager with Google, helping small and medium sized businesses grow using AdWords/Youtube advertising etc. The internship opened my eyes to the opportunities that are available working abroad and made me realise I would love to work for a multinational corporation like Google.
Alexander McKee
Graduate Scheme with Ernst and Young (Professional Services) “I am currently completing my Finance Degree at Queen’s University Belfast and have been offered a job at Ernst & Young in London which will begin after I graduate. The experience I had with CRCC Asia in Beijing was a fantastic boost to my CV and a massive help in securing this job.”
Charlotte Till
Marketing Executive, The Daily Telegraph “During my job interview, working in China is all the interviewers wanted to talk to me about as it made me different from other candidates and they all seemed genuinely interested.
I think having worked in China shows that I’m self-motivated enough to travel across the world on my own and I am able to adapt to a completely different culture. Having china on my CV set me apart from other candidates.”
Haady Sherif
Asset Delivery Manager, BAA Engineering “My internship galvanised me to further develop and excel my skills. Going to university is just the beginning, in a sense you are born when you graduate. My internship set me on my way: it primed me for interviews, working in corporate environments, and dealing with pressured situations. My internship gave me a taste of success, which I have managed to build on.”
Hannah Cobbett
Trainee Solicitor at a Top Five "Magic Circle" London Law Firm “The internship helped me build contacts in China, improved my Chinese (in a legal context) and increased my confidence to work in a Chinese business environment.”
Klara Krok-Paszkowska
Planning Director, Manning Gottlieb OMD (Communications and Advertising) “During my CRCC Asia Internship I got the opportunity to work in a global advertising agency, getting experience in digital communications, and upon my return to the UK I was able to secure a job in this sector. As a Planning Director I have had the opportunity to work with a number of high profile UK clients, such as John Lewis and French Connection.”
Will Taylor
National Researcher - International Humanitarian Law, Australian Red Cross “My internship in Beijing is something that I can always talk about in interviews in many different contexts. It is especially helpful if you want to work internationally as I do, because it demonstrates an ability to adjust to a foreign environment far from home and to adapt to a different culture, lifestyle and importantly, working methods.”
