Intern Testimonials
Read what some of our past interns have said about their experiences at CPG:
-
Melanie Hirsch – Italy
My internship at China Performance Group was an extremely interesting and challenging experience that enabled me to grow both professionally and personally. The extremely international and dynamic environment in which you work and live in everyday will open your eyes to all the fascinating aspects of Chinese culture and business etiquette. Your tasks will vary throughout the week so there will never be a dull moment, and always put your academic skills and abilities to the test. Not to worry though, you will have full time support and guidance from your team supervisor.

Samir Benjelloun – Denmark
My 2-month stay at CPG was enriching in many senses: first, I came to discover how it is to work in China with friendly colleagues – both Chinese and foreigners – at a moment of transition in my career; second, having mostly worked in the public field, it helped me rediscover the reality about working in a private company where discipline (through its well-structured internship program) and results are important criteria for good performance. Third, I am thankful for having contributed to the writing of blogs and, in particular, a very topical and informative white paper about such an important trade event as the Canton Fair.

Bonnie Roche – Australia
Working at China Performance Group was a great opportunity. It gave me an insight into both the Chinese business culture and the integration of Chinese business with the western world.
Whilst working at the Beijing office I was involved in the marketing side of the business as well as researching and documenting trends and issues within the Chinese sourcing industry. This was done so from both a Western and Chinese perspective, which gave a great holistic view of the sourcing industry.The company was a great platform to learn about both the Chinese culture and the business environment. The marketing skills as well as the industry and business culture knowledge I gained whilst working for the firm is something I will take with me to any job.
My time spent with the company definitely helped shape the great opinion I now have of China, I only wish I could have stayed with the company longer.
