Study and Work Reflections

After graduated from JUFE, I worked for Socit Gnrale for 3 years in Beijing in the fields of marketing and operations. Later on, I decided to chase my dream to study abroad for an MBA degree. Being accepted by the Co-op MBA program at McMaster University DeGroote School of Business, I moved to Canada for the life-time opportunity of a change. Instead of choosing Finance or Accounting as my specialization in the MBA program, I specialized in Strategic Marketing which is a way less traveled by international students because of the higher requirement of communications. It was definitely a challenge for me at the beginning, but things worked out well after hard works and I successfully got the offers from the marketing team of FedEx and ING Direct for the MBA internships. Meanwhile, as the international student ambassador at DeGroote School of Business, I gave speeches to the new-coming international students during their transition weeks to help them better prepare for the program and adapt the new life in Canada.
