I really appreciate the support I got from my Go Abroad China mentor who provided valuable advice and assistance to during my internship.

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • When I came in my manager had to plan out what tasks I would be working on and the specific team I would be assisting during my internship. So I rarely had anything to do during the first month,but then I then offered to work with the marketing team since I had some digital marketing skills. There was so much task to work on and I did enjoy working with the team all through my internship
