    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The placement company was great, but the internship company lacked the structure most Western companies have for long term interns. This was part of learning experience so turned out to be a positive.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt like I had been working there for several years

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The level of support you would expect from the CEO that manages 150+ people

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Very project based so very busy for periods that require much overtime and then some slow days in between projects

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given the most responsibility out of all other interns due to my foreigner status

    • Absolute Internship helped make the process seamless and help the host company with their first foreign intern (me).

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was the only other foreign full-time intern within this host company

    3/5

    • A conversion rate of 1USD = 7 RMB really helps the wallet

    • Shanghai, I am sure you know

    5/5
