There are so many untold stories of inspiring Chinese professionals having graduated from German universities that starting this Podcast was the only logical next step. I feel that the Chinese and German side are often still not close enough to each other to have even more impact together. Being a human being and loving to get to know new human beings, I think that everything starts with a simple conversation. That is why here you can listen to real personal stories of human beings and also learn from experts in the German HR and career field.
