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.

Intro | What you can expect from this podcast
I am Neal and welcome to the first episode of “The German Career Starter Podcast”.
There are so many untold stories of inspiring Chinese professionals having graduated from a German university 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. I personally think that you can learn from each person and especially listening to their personal stories.
Let's make every single conversation count and with small steps bring both beautiful cultures and countries closer together.
