What key advice would you give to current students from China who would like to get into a similar job to you?

Try hard on learning English in a native way. I definitely understand Chinese students at the UK universities are keen to get together no matter studying or hanging out. But the fluent English will be the incomparable advantage for the people who study broad. Thus, not just the studies, practicing English and understanding the culture will also be important for the Chinese students.

Please give a brief description of your job and what it involves.

Chinese foreign aid training project assistant, responsible for all paper-work, and interpret for foreign government officials between Chinese and English.

Why do you think you got this job? (e.g. what skills/knowledge/experience did you have)

The life experience in Britain for almost 4 years studied finance and economics make me confident on interpreting between Chinese and English on business field, and also good on doing financial budget management for the training projects. The job requires the staff to speak fluent English and have academic knowledge in accounting, whilst the 4-year UK studies already gave me an advantage to get the job. At the same time, the understanding of western culture also helps me to do my work properly.

Please feel free to add anything else that you think would be useful to other current students and graduates.
 

Don′t be too ambitious on your first job. It is good to dream big, but you have to be realistic when you try to make the dream come true. Especially, when you have your first job, you are still in the learning stage. What you got is not enough to achieve you final goal. Therefore, keep the big dream in your mind and try to make every single step stably. Because working is totally different from studying, you cannot expect to succeed within a short period. All the success and achievement are based on the effort you made on the every little thing in your work.
