The day when we don't need to explain AIESEC
I have had a few networking experiences in Shanghai which are quite interesting:
I by chance met a lot of McKinsey BAs (business analysts) at a gathering 1 week ago. Naturally, we ask each other what we have been doing and what we are doing today. When I mentioned AIESEC, no explanation needed, they all know about it!
Wed evening, I was with Aron attending Nova100's networking event. Nova100 is an organization building connections between top university talents and top organizations. They are currently Scandinavian but with ambition to go global. The Nova100 students, alumni and organizer all know about AIESEC. More encouragingly, they are thinking of cooperating with AIESEC to access top talents all over the world.
Friday I went to BAIN's office to sign contract. (Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I will be working for BAIN & Company, one of the premium strategy consulting firm's Shanghai office as an associate consultant.) The moment I walked in, one of the associate consultant said 'I have seen you! I was at a conference when you were on the stage giving a speech!' Another one said 'I have seen your picture on AIESEC's posters when I joined AIESEC!' Not only was there no need to explain AIESEC, my 2 year's fulltime experiences after graduation was very much recognized.
After all, we are all waiting for such a day that when we say: I worked/am working for AIESEC is nothing different from I worked/am working for P&G, Microsoft, McKinsey, etc. - no explanation is needed! =) Very proud!
