Day 19 – Community Service workshop at the Xiamen Institute of Software Technology

By bogaert

Today we conducted the workshop to help students in their future career path in a smarter way. This time we got all approvals from government to proceed! Our South-African colleague Ryan did an outstanding job in the preparation and in the moderation of the speakers. At arrival we had the usual local paparazzi taking pictures, followed by the mandatory group photo session. The workshop itself went as planned. Of great interest were in particular the sessions when talking about corporate culture, building your own brand, and the interview role play. For the role play we asked our intern Cecily to be the candidate during a job candidate interview. She did a great job, although I couldn’t understand her Chinese, she left a great impression. The interaction with the audience was very good, in particular knowing the language obstacle as everything was translated from English to Chinese. At then end we had a question and answers session, followed by a face-to-face possibility to ask questions. During the face-to-face interaction the same question came over and over again: ‘can I take a photo with you?’. I think our photos are now spread all over QQ, WeChat, Facebook, etc. It’s getting late, enjoy the photos.
