The NYTimes recently published a really interesting article on the increasing number of American students looking to China to find jobs and internships.
A big draw of working in China, many young people say, is that they feel it allows them to skip a rung or two on the career ladder.
Ms. Berman said: “There is no doubt that China is an awesome place to jump-start your career. Back in the U.S., I would be intern No. 3 at some company or selling tickets at Lincoln Center.”

And remember, the SCDC offers stipends to students looking to do an international co-op in China. To find resources on conducting an international co-op search in China, see my research guide!

With increased competition for co-ops, internships, and jobs, it is more important than ever to have sharp interview skills.

This workshop will teach the STAR (situational, task, action, result) method of answering these questions and will touch on general interviewing tips.
