A day in the life of a Technology Risk Management Manager in China

How studying in the UK affected my job seeking

How I searched for jobs:
With the assistance of the job hunter, I started to look for work after I came back to Shanghai.

Attitudes to study in the UK:
My employers prefer candidates who have a good background, including UK experience and degree. But they do not like candidates with only overseas academic experience and without any domestic/overseas working experience. The main reason is that most of such candidates expect more than what they can do.

Challenges in looking for jobs:
I don’t think being away from my home country will impact my ability to find a job. But most employers do prefer face to face interview instead of phone or online interview.

The recruitment process

There are two rounds of interviews. The first round with the line manager, second round with the GM and HR. You will move the next round only if you get passed the first.

Where I hope to be in 5 years

Big team in both IT and technology risk management.

My advice to students considering work

Do not overestimate your ability just because you have overseas experience. Lower your expectation and show your respect.

What I do

My role involved managing the Information Technology risk and provide suitable suggestions;
I am in charge of company Information security management; Prepare reports to senior management, CBRC and PBoC;
I monitor and review the IT daily operations.

Skills I use and how I developed them



Extracurricular skills:
IT management and IT experience: by previous working experience and academic study;
IT audit: by professional training and previous working experience.

What I like most

It provides a view from the top for you to look at the IT management.
