“During the summer of 2019, I participated in an internship programme at Seone established by two experienced Korean accountants few years ago.

The atmosphere of the office depends on the season, especially issuance of tax returns and different business year ends.

Among all the valuable experiences, my first audit project, training sessions and audit on site have been the most memorable ones throughout the programme.

Despite a lack of diversity and other benefits that large enterprises could provide, working at a growing company has provided me with an opportunity to participate in a broad range of projects and put me into an impactful position so that I can be continuously motivated for self-development.

“In the 10-week internship, I have rotated between the Analytics and Sales Department. 

At Analytics, we were assigned 5 projects to work on beyond conducting campaign calls to our clients. 

In Sales, we organized the hosted seminar to our senior sell-side client and we also had the opportunities to represent the company to attend client training and meetings.

Bloomberg has one of the best and most structured internship programme, from the first rotation at Analytics to Sales – I have done several projects and some provide me with opportunities to shine and perform. 

Team collaboration is definitely one of the aspects that I have gained and improved the most – as most of the work is done in groups and the company culture would just facilitate all the collaboration and help between everyone.

The HR had organized a lot of events for us, from social and networking events to philanthropy events, we were able to not only understand the Bloomberg culture and value, but also apply through our actions.

Having the Bloomberg Terminal in place in the Finance Lab is already one of the greatest supports from CUHK.

Moreover, being recognized as one of the elite programmes in Hong Kong, this brand recognition has helped me build my credentials and trust both internally and externally at the client place.

The trainings and support from the programme office and the university is also paramount as it built a solid foundation in terms of my technical and understanding about the Terminal.

“Internship is one of the key components of GLEF program.

I worked in Commerzbank AG, the second largest bank in Germany, as a Debt Capital Market intern from June to December 2018. Debt Capital Market division is often less-known among university students; yet, it is one of the fastest growing team across investment banks in Hong Kong. 

Through this internship, I have learned to combine the knowledge I have learned from school with the practical experiences in the financial industry.

GLEF is a very small program with roughly 30 students.

“I have joined the Student Co-op Student Trainee Program in HSBC for 6 months.
Being in this team, has offered me with a great opportunity to get to know more about the bank’s internal regulations and standards when they are analyzing a customer profile.
This internship experience has further straightened my communication, data analysis, interpersonal and presentation skills.
HSBC does appreciate work life balance, which it has senior management teams to hold town hall from time to time and spread the message that employees are not encouraged to working overtime and to send work emails after office hours.
I strongly believe that this internship opportunity would be a valuable one for students who would like to get a taste of the banking industry.”
