FAQ – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What about working hours, vacation, and compensation in China?

In China, most people work 40 hours a week. The times you start and end work each day are set by your company. This is a great question to ask at the job interview.

Regarding vacation time and pay, everything depends on how long you plan to stay and how your company is set up. You will sometimes, and you won’t sometimes. During your job interview, you should ask this question.

How much you get paid for an internship in China depends on the company. Some will give you a stipend or a set amount to help pay for things like food. In the first online meeting with the company, ask about the problem, so everyone knows what’s happening.

Do I have to be able to communicate in Mandarin Chinese to participate in the “Internship in China” program?

You do not need to know Mandarin to get an internship in China. English fluency is required, and speaking any other language is a plus. On the other hand, some organizations will only choose interns who have studied Chinese before their Internship. 

This is mainly to ensure that the intern has had time to get used to life in China in a safe and helpful environment and is ready to work when the internship starts, rather than still trying to figure out what’s going on. This is important because a newcomer in China needs a lot of help getting their life organized. Many employers don’t want their human resources staff to spend half of their time helping new interns with day-to-day issues.

Is it a good idea to take Chinese classes while having an internship in China?

Yes, it is. But you have to decide for sure what you prefer. Getting to know Mandarin in China is a great way to add to your list of skills and make your CV stand out. It will also make your everyday life in China better. Even though knowing Chinese isn’t required for your internship, it will make some things easier, like asking for directions, topping up your phone, and going shopping.

What industry could I work in?

Internships are available in many fields, including sales, marketing, technology, law, medicine, engineering, hospitality, medical, translation, education, IT, import/export, sports, and many more.

When should I make my reservation?

In general, as soon as possible, because the more time we have to arrange the internship, the more choices you’ll have. However, if you arrive late, we may be able to find you an emergency internship in less than two weeks. You’ll have to be a lot more adaptable with your choices in this situation. Approximately a half-year before flying to China, the majority of people apply.

What should you focus on during your job interview with the Chinese company?

As a participant in the LC Chinese School internship program, you will be given priority in the application process and will be scheduled for an interview with the firm right away. However, the firm will determine whether you are a good fit during the interview, so make sure you present yourself professionally. Each organization is unique, so contact your internship advisor if you have any specific questions about an upcoming interview with one. During the interview, make sure you ask a lot of questions.

How do I submit my application for the “Internship in China” program?
