Reading: Falling in Love With China And Your Career

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

I had never heard of Aimee Barnes’ blog until today when, through a Twitter friend (Hey!  You too can follow my Twitter account.), I stumbled on her post about making a career out of a love of China.  She brings up some interesting career opportunities and some important things to consider doing to achieve a lasting career here.  It was worth a read for me and maybe for you too.

My trip last weekend had equal parts business professionalism and late night insanity.  After seeing the office of my future internship, located in the swank suit-and-tie filled neighborhood of Xintiandi (新天地), and meeting the people that work there I relaxed and enjoyed the the young glamorous life of Shanghai.
