FAN Yuen Hei BA (Hons) Bilingual Interdisciplinary Chinese Studies Nanjing Museum
Nanjing, China
Nanjing Museum has history exhibition hall and art exhibition hall with over 400,000 exhibits. I worked at the Service Department and was responsible for organising special exhibitions and events, borrowing exhibits from other museums, providing guided tours and interpretation services to visitors. I provided docents to visitors. My supervisor organised training sessions for me to improve my body language, tone of speaking and presentation skill. It made me more confident about being a public speaker. I have leant a lot from this internship. I believe that it is hard to gain this experience from other placements. I really gained a lot!

Vancouver, Canada
As a Communications/ Marketing Assistant in the Work-Integrated Learning Office, I accomplished many tangible results in this eight-week internship e.g. creating marketing materials for its International Co-op Programme and producing an employer viewbook. I also rebranded HireSFU, which was an electronic platform for employers to hire the right candidates of the University. Besides, I sent weekly mass emails to students to remind them about the latest co-op opportunities. To enhance user experience, I modified the email layout which led to a notable increase in the click-through rate from 3% to over 12%.

The slow pace of lifestyle there allowed me to have more time to appreciate the nature and make friends from around the world. This internship provides me with a unique opportunity to travel the world and gain practical experience in the workplace.
