A day in the life of a Event Intern in China

Event Intern at China-Britain Business Council in Beijing

How I looked for work

Info on its website and then cold call

How studying in the UK affected my job seeking

Having some background knowledge of British culture is extremely helpful as the mission of the organisation is to promote the UK businesses in China.

How I found out about the job

Employer's website

The recruitment process

CV sent to HR followed by an interview a week later.

What I do

Organising events for various types of clients ranging from public to private sectors e.g. UK Trade & Investment, Foreign & Commonwealth Office as well as British SMEs looking to do business in China across industries.

What I like most

Niche strategic partnership with the UK government or, more specifically, the British Embassy in Beijing, which brings out very unique opportunities to work with government officials on political missions as well as CEOs of private companies.
