Everyone including my parents asked me &#8216;Why?&#8217;&#8230; Because I just simply love sports!<\/p>\n<p>Right now, I am lucky enough to be working at Adidas Group Shanghai Headquarters for my work placement. I am in the Training\/Running\/Outdoor division which comes under the Sport Marketing category. As an intern, my main responsibility is to assist and support my team to achieve all their\u00a0tasks.<\/p>\n<p>One of my main jobs is to choose clothing and shoes (in \u201cAdidas terminology\u201d we call them APP\/FW\/ACC) from our warehouse for different gym studios, individual personal trainers, our contract sport athletes and stars. This process takes a long time, as we need to check the\u00a0inventory first to see whether we can meet or match the size and quantity for our different clients.\u00a0 I need to complete forms, then upload to our SPM system, make a clear picture for each product and finally make a cover sheet for each task. When I first time did\u00a0this task, I spent nearly two weeks to finish it. However, when I saw our CEO sign this contract I felt over the moon! And now I am getting much quicker and more efficient.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4496\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/postgraduate\/files\/2016\/11\/Yisi-Lu-5-300x165.jpg\" alt=\"yisi-lu-5\" width=\"243\" height=\"134\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4491\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/postgraduate\/files\/2016\/11\/Yisi-Lu-2-300x134.jpg\" alt=\"yisi-lu-2\" width=\"300\" height=\"134\" \/>\n<p>I also order Training\/Running\/Outdoor products for each season from our online system named adiPortal, translate documents and took part in making 2016 a Rio Olympic news summary Powerpoint and other admin tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The working environment in here is open plan, with some fashion elements. The employees usually have their group meeting in the public rest area which feels like I am back in the BU library. The company also provide a small gym and a studio for colleagues to do exercise and book classes to enjoy the sport. People are friendly here and I am enjoying my time here!<\/p>\n<p>Compared with my first day at the office, a girl who was unfamiliar, nervous and completely lost in a new working environment, I have gradually grown up and become a more professional girl in a real business world.<\/p>\n<p>Be patient, be confident, be the best! \u2014\u2014Lu<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4495\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/postgraduate\/files\/2016\/11\/Yisi-Lu-4-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"yisi-lu-4\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 My name is Lu and I have been studying at BU for almost four years.
