Vicki Ma, BBA (Hons) in Accounting, Year 3

Vicki worked for three months in CWCC Certified Public Accountants as an auditor trainee, during which she gained a great deal of insight into audit work. 'I made quite a number of mistakes in the first audit report I produced, but my supervisor went over them with me patiently and gave me much encouragement. I also went with my colleague to do an audit job at a client's office and learned a lot from that. All in all, it's been an unforgettable experience and the most valuable summer job I've ever had.'

Vivian Ling, BBA in Corporate Administration, Year 2

Vivian was one of the 27 local university students selected to join the Government's Administrative Service Student Summer Internship Programme this year. She was posted to the Islands District Office in Central and worked together with an Administrative Officer who served as her mentor. 'We attended meetings together, and I had to write reports and speeches. The work schedule was very tight.' But Vivian had no grievances and found the internship experience invaluable, as it boosted her understanding of the operations of Government departments and strengthened her interpersonal and language skills.

Leung Ngai-lam and Leung Hoi-lam, Bachelor of Nursing (Hons), Year 3

Ngai-lam and Hoi-lam are twins, but their temperaments and interests are very different. Elder sister Ngai-lam is more outgoing. She chose mental health care as this field of work is more challenging and gives her more opportunities to communicate with patients. She was posted to Castle Peak Hospital in the summer and had to work night shifts. Hoi-lam, who studies general health care, worked in the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital, during which there was an incident she would never forget. 'I was taking the blood pressure reading of an elderly man and all of a sudden the machine's alarm went off. I was so scared that I called for help.' Luckily it was a false alarm and the patient was only sleeping.
