How has Chinese helped you after graduation?
My time in Flagship and especially my internship as an Accounting Assistant at Weimei Investments was a great preparation for my career as an auditor. I travel annually to Beijing to conduct an audit of a US public Semiconductor company with the majority of its operations in China, and my job regularly requires me to conduct interviews in Chinese, translate contracts, lease agreements, corporate board minutes and other documents into English.
