IES Global

As many of you who watch “Two and a half men” or have heard of Charlie Sheen, he’s been axed from the show and is now looking for a social media intern to work under him for 2 months. Now this sounds like a great opportunity to work under arguably the biggest star on TV and 70,000 people seem to think so.

Despite his somewhat erratic behaviour, he has recognised the amazing, all round, gapingly obvious benefits of entering in the business of internships. Taking full advantage of his massive Twitter following, Charlie offered his ‘followers’ the chance to sign up to be his personal intern for two months.

Now we at IES Global recognised the growing necessity for international internships many moons ago so the flood of people who have applied for the internship has come as no surprise to us.

However, as experts in the field we decided to do a comparison of our China Internship Program and the opportunities and experiences you will get out of it as opposed to interning for Mr Sheen...  

Surroundings
We offer our interns positions in a professional working environment, in the biggest market of all. China.
Charlie Sheen, we imagine, does not.

The “BOOM!” Comparison

• BOOM!

Permanent Employment
We endeavour to offer customised internships to meet the needs of our clients and our partnership with Fesco.Adecco, the largest HR company in China, provides the possibility of permanent employment after a successful internship.
Charlie Sheen is offering a 2 month internship position – then what?!

• BOOM!

Develop Your Professional Skills
We at IES Global work with a number of companies in a huge range of industries across China. We don’t like to name drop so….here are just a few - Volvo, Amazon, IBM, Adecco, British Council, Cosmopolitan, Shangri-La.
The skills you will acquire whilst interning at one of our partners will assist you in your professional career for a long time.
Charlie Sheens ‘specialist’ requirements suggest that you will come away from his position with the skills necessary to become:

1. a professional cleaner
2. a professional nanny

• BOOM!

Languages
Mandarin is the most spoken language in the world, and with China well on its way to becoming a global super power, learning Mandarin will you in good stead for the future.
Learning the language of “Mr Sheen” may be beneficial in a few small specialist circles but we can imagine that it wouldn’t do much for your CV. Sorry Charlie…

Positions Available
Due to our vast network of companies in China, we are able to offer many internships throughout the year.
Charlie Sheen is able to offer one, and quite frankly, it’s not sounding so great in comparison any more is it?

• BOOM!

To conclude…we would like to extend our thanks to Sir Charlie Sheen for reminding everyone how very important internships are and, more importantly, allowing us this opportunity to blow his internship out of the water!
