Jack YIU - Chinese-based security firm, China


"During the 2013 summer holiday, I had an internship in a Chinese-based security firm in Mainland. It was definitely an invaluable experience to me, as I could situated in a real financial and business world, which was outside the classrooms. The most useful knowledge acquired was the trading practices in the financial market, such as technical analysis in stocks, foreign exchange markets. Moreover, it aroused my interest in being an analyst, whose duties include reading reports, analyzing charts, etc. After completing this internship, I deeply felt that apart from the theoretical studies learnt in lectures, it was important to hone various skills in the workplace, like interpersonal relationship, good working attitudes (being punctual, devotions in work, etc.). These concepts can only be achieved in real practices and not in classes, I am grateful to have this experience."
