What shall We Do to Best Prepare for Future Career Challenges? Yuyu: NYU Econ Master There is no best, but there is better. First of all, experiences are really important, which determine the quality of resume, the level of your understanding in courses. Another thing with equal weight is interpersonal skills. Everything is about sale and about people, at least in business. Its too general to follow, but one cannot get it without doing it. One important thing I want to say is that setting up career goal and path as early as possible. Its not only about application or about VISA. As students, we get confused at first about what we really want to do. Now, its time for us to figure it out. How? Practising, talking to experienced people, doing research, whatever, starting now. Everybody is grobing his way. So just do it. Jeff: Brandeis Finance If they want to have a career in business world, inter-people skill is everything. They should get well prepared in English listening and speaking, communication principles, etc. There are several books I really want to recommend: Never Eat Alone, GREAT networking guidebook for everyone; Speak like a CEO; How to talk so people listen (this book maybe too new for Chinese readers); Some resources form WetFeet and Vault, etc. Another thing is to know whats happening in their target industry. If they are interested in finance, absolutely read Wall Street Journal EVERYDAY. Financial Times is also a good choice. Maybe the first week will be a disaster, but keep working on it. After several weeks, there will be dramatic change. Last but not least, I think have a entrepreneur mindset is also very important for those guys who have big dreams and will not be satisfied by a simple corporate job. Rich Dad, Poor Dad is always a good choice for starters. Haiyang GSU Actu
