After more than six weeks in Shanghai i feel like there was enough excuses and it's time to write at least something about how I am doing here.<br />Well let me begin with the most important thing - my internship. Basically it goes well I am just finding a big lack of experience and real life practise... So what do I do? The easiest task is <strong>providing lessons of English</strong> for our collegues from the company one hour per a week (+ some preparation). BTW the company's name is Shanghai Talent Law Firm - local law firm providing wide range of law services and trying to increase market share by targetting new foreign clients. And here my main job task begins. <strong>I am an account manager :-)</strong> As a member of foreign team (we are two at the moment - me and Kristine - Canadian girl who made an interview with me before I came here) I am in a role of a successor of Chris - American guy who made a great job here- to continue in his footprints.<br />The company gives us relatively free hands in choosing the way to achieve our goals. That requires a lot of abilities - beginning with creating flexible database, templates of different document, but also finding new clients and partners. As usually in China, it is connected with a few more challenges than in European or American environment... But it is nice to face them and deal with them.<br /><strong>I live pretty active life here...</strong> Not only due to my work of course:-) As usually AIESEC interns are extremly active people so we meet by every possible occasion (I was a member of godgeball team - wow, such a great fun with those guys:-)). And we of course meet in different pubs and at number of different parties. Meanwhile livin this great life I realized that i can run out of all my saving in next four months not even buying flight ticket back home yet! With a great help of my Chinese friends we found me <strong>a part time job. I'll teach in a language school</strong> every monday, wednesday and friday night for next half a year... i hope I'll survive that pressure! but it definetelly will safe me from financial crises and that is the most important point.<br />And of course, I decided to <strong>be active with</strong> <strong>AIESEC as well!!! </strong>So I applied for mentoring program to help improving young AIESECers here in Shanghai. I am going for a conference during this weekend to Hangzhou - but just as an intern to <strong>present Slovakia on GLOBAL VILLAGE;-). </strong>I am considering some more cooperation with AIESEC - especially for the future, but I'll keet all the details for my self at the moment;-)<br />Well that is all for taday:-) my typically very long and boring introduction:-)<br />Hope you liked it anyway!<br />Zai Jian from your Loawai in China<br />(Good bye from your Foreigner in China;-))<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2135711232884426194-5867615393241208255?l=rastoinchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rastislav Blahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01256959035554921940noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135711232884426194.post-18969971399752908972008-03-07T05:38:00.000-08:002008-03-07T05:41:35.465-08:00<strong>Zdravíčko priatelia!</strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2135711232884426194-1896997139975290897?l=rastoinchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rastislav Blahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01256959035554921940noreply@blogger.com2
