Today I talked with professor Wang at Tongji University, China. I had two of his modules during my bachelor degree, therefore he knows me. It would be great if he can give some advices on my career.
I told him my internship experiences at PCNE and the next internship position at CBN TV station. He encouraged me to work at CBN TV station as this is one of the most famous and professional TV station which focus on economics report.
I also told him that I want to work at Elle fashion magazine. He thought it would a good job as I am keen on fashion magazine and had some relative courses. However, he reminded me some facts.
1. The access to fashion magazine is very limited. I do not know anyone in this area.
2. There are not many editors in a fashion magazine, if I want to do the job, I might to work in marketing department or public relationship department first rather than being a fashion magazine editor.
3. There are only around 30 people in Chinese Elle Magaizne, I might do a job in other magazines in Hearst Magazine company rather than in Elle Magazine directly.
4. Although working in fashion magazine looks fabulous, but salaries for Chinese fashion magazine in China is low. Obviously it cannot afford the lifestyle and luxury brand as fashion magazine advertised.
