“在公司的同事都⾮非常友好，他们第⼀一天的热烈欢迎减轻了我对⼯工作的忧虑。他们⾮非常有耐⼼心地指导我。我还记得上班的第⼀一天刚加⼊入他们的会议时，有些专业术语我不明⽩白。他们⾮非常愿意停下来为我解释——帮助我学习了新的东西！我也迷上了公司团队⾥里的⼈人不怕⾯面对挑战并保持积极的精神… 同事们各异的背景以及⼴广泛的才能使得和他们的交谈也以不同的⽅方式激励了我。在他们其中，我可以看到他们追逐⾃自⼰己梦想的坚持，这触动了我的⼼心灵。这次实习经历使我明⽩白了⼀一些在⼯工作环境中取得成功所需要的软技能…我也获得了来⾃自于真正的商业世界的许多不同的见解，这些终⾝身技能和知识使我的实习经验卓有成效。如果你正在寻找释放⾃自⼰己的潜能、学习和成长的机会，这⾥里是最好的地⽅方。” —— Kristy Ko︔；2015年香港中文大学派送的实习生
