The company visit hosted by CTCI Foundation certainly broadened my horizon with seeing several high-tech firms and meeting many good friends from many universities in Taiwan. This program was totally worth participating even within only a few days. The companies which we visited during the trip all are located in different spots around Science Park and industrial area in Taiwan. Those areas are really not accessible for anyone except who work there. This trip allowed us to see their working routines. It was great opportunity to get the benefit of knowing their deep insight in order to make a decision for job application for particular company. Without this experience, I would never know what real job qualifications are all about. All of the companies we visited give us really great hospitality, and they were also willing to provide us all information we wanted to know about them. Moreover, it was a good chance for me to directly talk with the managers and exchange business cards to contact them in the future. Even though some industries are not related to my study field, but it was still a good opportunity to see and learn about another area for the sake of knowledges. This trip was not only for visiting companies but also making a friendship. I met many intelligent students from many different countries. We had a lot of good time along the trip to discuss and exchange knowledges/experiences about living in Taiwan as a foreign student. For me, this is the ultimate goal for living in Taiwan, making a connection with Taiwanese companies, local people, and other foreign students like me. So that we could make things become possible all together.
