KPMG, one of the largest professional services firms in the world and one of the Big Four auditors, gave a career talk at UIC on Oct 16. Dean of the Division of Business and management Prof. Stella Cho was also in attendance.
KPMG audit partner Ms. Li Wanwei and the audit manager Susie Hettinge talked about KPMG's culture, business, career development and recruitment. Ms. Li said UIC students had an advantage in English communication skills. She encouraged students to fight for the opportunity to work in huge companies like KPMG. She also reminded the students to keep upgrading themselves, and keep an eye on the economic developments in the world.
Ms. Li Wanwei giving the career talk
Prof. Stella Cho said the career talks were held to inform the students about related placement information so that they could be well prepared. She told the reporter that UIC was developing career alliances with a number of famous companies and public intuitions, hopefully this would provide our UIC student good internship and placement opportunities. A series of career talks are yet to be held in the coming November and December, particularly for Finance and Applied Economics majors.

The students found such career talks helpful since they could get a lot of valuable information. One student described the career talks as "fuel for snowy weather". Another student revealed that he's motivation for learning English well was stimulated, and he learned the importance of time management.
