>> I'm from China.
I got a bachelor's degree in computer science,
and then I came to USC for grad school,
majored in industrial and systems engineering.
Understand at the beginning, first
semester I was still in computer science,
but I later I figure out I kind of what to
learn more about business and then management.
So essentially how to use a technology
to apply to help the business.
So I, you know, I switched my major
to industrial and system engineering.
It's really challenging, I would say, and it
was scary honestly cause I learn English when I
in school, but you know teacher in
China, particularly from my home state,
tend to like focus on grammar, so I
never really got lot of opportunity
to like improve my spoken
English, speaking English.
So when I got here and you know I even couldn't
really understand exactly what the professor
want, you know, what did he talk about.
Even for like [inaudible] some challenging
difficulties, so but later, luckily,
I tried to like stay with
some American, you know,
oh like English speaking
friends and they help me.
At same time, lots of, I been to so many
networking events, career workshops,
so that helped me to improve my
communication skill with [inaudible] English.
>> Excellent.
And how did you end up at Deloitte?
>> All by networking, I would say.
Well, I got my internship.
I did my internship at Southern California
Edison and where I found so many consultants
from Deloitte doing a project there.
So at that time, I totally took
advantage for the internship,
so pretty much every day I invite
consultant from Deloitte to have a lunch
or maybe grab a coffee with me to
kind of share what they do that way
and some information you cannot find from
the website and also how they got the job.
So I would say that's a biggest,
you know, like thing help me.
