Occassionally, I joined shipping industry after graduation in 2008 though my major in the college is Finance. Most of my classmates found jobs in finance industry or at least related industries, and when having dinners together now, I found not much common topics with them since I have been away from finance world for not a shor time.
It’s very lucky for me to be a management trainee in the world’s top 1 shipping company as the beginning of my career. Considerate care and constant training make me improve myself faster than expected.
2009, as people know, was the most terrible time for world’s economy, especially in shipping industry. Some shipping companies, shipyards bankrupted, and the terminals were facing critical financial risk. Also “lucky” for me, it was the time when I joined this industry.
On the first day I entered the office, I found our CEO was laid off, and then COO, HR manager, etc. At that time, I was shocked that these senior peolple could also lose their jobs. After one month, I moved from Beijing to Shanghai as the company merged two regions’ offices to Asia Pacific Office. Afterwards, I watched people leaving the company who was losing money. It was a hard time for the company, and also for us.
