ISTM in Hong Kong

ISTM students, you may want to do your mission de fin d'études or internship in Hong Kong.

So how to look for an internship ?

1) with ISTM : Roselyne will send you the offers ISTM has. Anyway, I strongly advise you to check your ISTM e-mail box.

2) by yourself, via internet.

3) with CityU. Go to the Career Center (Amenities Building, in the way of the swimming pool). They organize many worskshops, but unfortunately, it is in Cantonese (but there are still few in English).

Also contact Winnie KWAN, from the faculty of Science and Engineering. She is very helpful and effective :

One of the other French people here (from Université de Technologie de Troyes ou Compiègne) from the same department as me (Manufacturing Engineering and Engineering Management) got an internship in Hong Kong. I am not sure, but I think he will stay in the student residence, because for his internship, he has a kind of internship course, hence a tutor in CityU. This way of doing is very very interesting, either for the visa (you still have a student visa, which is very convenient ! ), or for the facilities (living in the student residence is a very very good deal in Hong Kong !). I guess you will have to pay the tuition fees for the course, but it is still a very good deal to do that !

Last but not least, prepare your résumé (Curriculum Vitae) in English and when you arrive in Hong Kong, get business cards and suits done !

Address for business cards (the only address I found, but I know you can get yours in Wan Chain or Central) :

You can also go to Shenzhen (KCR station Lo Wu).
It is cheaper (I got a 2 pieces suit : jacket and pants for 450 RMB = 450 HK$ = 45 euros).
But you have to get first a visa for Mainland China (see the post of October 25th).
