For NCSH batch 13 and 14, we have a total of 3 NOC-ians interning at Pivot Marketing and lets see what they have to say about their experience so far in Pivot and in Shanghai.
Company: Pivot Marketing (they have a pretty nice website landing page!)
ABOUT PIVOT MARKETING
We founded this lil’ thing called Pivot Marketing in 2004 based on our Experiences in various different environments, meeting various types of people, and engaging in various hues of businesses. Our immersion in such an array of cultural and corporate settings has developed keen sensibilities of particularities – and peculiarities – of varying customer preferences to better serve our clients’ objectives.
In the early stages, Pivot took baby steps as a boutique marketing firm based in Shanghai. But since then, our Experience has given us the tools and the vision to expand across such a vast and varied country like China in order to serve our clients and fulfill their marketing and promotional needs. We go wherever our clients go!
NCSH 13 intern: Lee Kok Leong
NCSH 14 intern: Joel Leong & Loh Wan Ching
A short sum up from our very own Joel from NCSH 14 on his experience with Pivot and NOC so far:
“What doesnt kill you makes you stronger!”
Author’s note: Looks like NOC has given quite a hard time to Joel here in Shanghai. But rest assured that he is managing it very well =)
A short sum up from our very own Wan Ching from NCSH 14 on her experience with Pivot and NOC so far:
“Looking back at the past 6 months of life in Shanghai, it’s been an amazing and wonderful roller coaster ride that I would encourage anyone who has the passion and interest to take a bold step of courage to pursue. Working at pivot is definitely a true learning experience where we are fortunate to get the opportunity to work, play and learn from one another. Advice to the juniors is to STAY HUNGRY, be it looking for nice places to eat, exploring places in China or in search for opportunities that might just be round the corner, just don’t get too fat! (: “
Yeaps. And Im sure all of us here on NOC benefit a lot in many ways, be it through the internship with our companies, or through self discovery along the way or through all the fun we had! As Lao Tzu puts it,
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
And also quoting from Robert Collier,
“Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.”
So take that decision and join in the fun by signing up for NOC and embark on that life changing experience that you will never regret! =)
