Future Prospect
The internship will run for half a year and successful candidates will be offered a permanent position: if you do not intend to join us for more than the 6 months internship, please do not apply. The opportunities in the company include full-time analyst positions working on PV or wind technologies, or possibly positions in other departments if the candidate shows strong abilities in business areas. For excellent candidates there is a strong potential for rapid career progression to management positions (potentially as quickly as 1-year from start of internship for outstanding people).
It is important for us that our new team members are stable and happy, so here is some information in response to questions we frequently get asked by candidates:
- Wuhu is a small city by Chinese standards (1,200,000 inhabitants) and is not a tourist hot spot. This means that unlike Beijing and Shanghai there are not many foreigners around, if you are expecting to hang around solely with Europeans your options may be limited.
- The city is well developed and clean (pollution index around the 50-mark while other nearby cities such as Nanjing are around 150-200-mark). There are some global supermarket chains showing food labels in English, and large department stores which make shopping easy. Living costs are around 1000-1500 RMB per month (100-150 EUR, it varies according to exchange rate change).
- Although there is only one English-language TV channel, the company has a DVD library with over 1000 DVDs for the staff to borrow. The company also has a 250m2 Fun Club entertainment area with various entertainment facilities for staff, family & friends to use.
