Target China

I recently attended Target China, a forum run by UCL Careers Service for Chinese students seeking work back home in China. The event is specifically for UCL students so I was not able to publicise it earlier. Congratulations to the UCL careers service for putting on a very well co-ordinated event even down to having traditional erhu music on arrival!

Of the employers who attended, some were law firms that might be of interest to Royal Holloway students considering converting to a law career after graduation. They were Mayer Brown,  Linklaters and BDO Stoy Hayward who offer a variety of opportunities for graduates.

Consultancies represented included PWC and Harvey Best who were detailing their operations in China, Hong Kong and India.  For IT and business students, IBM spoke about their international graduate programme based in the UK.

For students returning back to China or Hong Kong the message from employers was clear – make sure you have the right skills for the job and that your command of Mandarin, Cantonese and English, where appropriate,are of professional standard.

The event was recorded for future podcasting. I will publish details of this when I have them.
