How I looked for work

I sent CVs to companies of different industries. In the end my social network helped me.

How studying in the UK affected my job seeking

Very much, as a stepping-stone, for a Chinese student. But, in the end, employers pay one's ability in the interview and attitude in the work.

How I found out about the job

Personal contacts

The recruitment process

Just an interview from the manager. As the job is an entry level one, the process is not as complicated as many graduate schemes.

My career goals when I graduated

To be an integrated online marketer.

My career history

One year's working experience at the broker in the spot market. away from my career goal but interesting to see people and to learn financial and economic knowledge.

My advice to students considering work

Get to know what skills you need to acquire for the job you like. Know what your goal is and be focused once the decision has been made.

My advice about working in my industry

You must love it to do it well.

What I do

My responsibility is to assist the analyst to design a proper SEO campaign after analysing client‘s website and other KPIs. Moreover, I need to assist the analyst explain the campaign to clients and reach an agreement.
