“In the summer of 2019, I took part in a memorable and fruitful 10 weeks internship program in Point72, an asset management company. 

I worked as an operation intern with a team of 4.

During my internship period, besides the daily routine work and ad-hoc tasks, I also carried out a project related to Corporate Actions.

Apart from work, I enjoyed a variety of activities organized by the HR team and developed a strong bonding with interns from different departments.

The most fulfilling part as an operation intern is that when you are able to understand the full picture, you would be able to realize every step you take and every button you press makes a difference.

The internship journey changed my working attitude.

I am thankful that GLEF provides us with the resources conducive to securing the offer for Point72.

Without help from GLEF the program, I would not be able to get the offer from Point72 and enjoyed a fruitful journey.”

“Last summer, I worked in Citibank as a global consumer banking (GCB) summer analyst for 10 weeks.

It kicked off with a 1.5-day orientation with over 100 interns across different divisions.

“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.
