Need advice: Overseas Summer Internship
I am currently doing an internship at a big Asian bank. When I got here I did have to fill out a form saying how long I would be interning, etc. I know that for many jobs, employers will call past job references to verify that the person actually worked there. The problem is, everyone here speaks pretty bad English (also, everyone knows me not by my English name, but by my Chinese name).
I was wondering, in my situation what would be the best way to get proof of my internship? Do you think I should get a letter? Also, what are the chances that they will call, and if they do call and have trouble verifying the internship, will they assume I was lying or will they ask me for an explanation?
I think you are overlooking it, but then again, I'm a few whiskeys in now. If the prospect can't understand anyone from your former employer's office, that's not on you. I think they'll either take an alternative route and do some research on the bank via the internet or other, or they will bypass that background check. Maybe they'll even ask for a different reference if they are persistent.
Ok, thanks so much! Does anyone else have any input?
