What key advice would you give to current students from China who would like to get into a similar job to you?

Work experience is very important. British university system gives a lot of opportunities for the students to have short term employment opportunities. Chinese students are generally good at studying but lacks of communication skills and concept of team work due to the cultural reason. Therefore, try to apply for some part-time jobs during the course going on, which not only will make your CV look better but you can learn a lot of real ‘techniques’ that will never be taught in the lectures but profound in your future career especially the beginning stage.

Please give a brief description of your job and what it involves?

Perform operational, financial and compliance audits throughout the business. Checking up the quarter report and preparing the materials for the annual meeting.

Why do you think you got this job? (e.g. what skills/knowledge/experience did you have) ?

Before I join TongKun I worked at Oxfam as a senior financial assistant and this experience is a strong point on my CV. And I am a member of ACCA and when applied for this job I have done 10 papers. Although, I have not fully achieved the ACCA qualification, the intention is the employer cares most. Actually, how much you want to improve yourself reflect how much you can contribute to your work. The employer said my self-motivation is the most impressive point in his eyes.

Please feel free to add anything else that you think would be useful to other current students and graduates.

The qualification is a precondition to get a job. But once you are in, you are at the same starting point with all others. This means that you need to try to use the knowledge and skills frequently not showing the qualification to others when problems occur. I have to admit that experience is vital, but you have to make sure your studies are ok. Do not mess the ranking of the issues when you are a student. Studies always go first!
