from students:

the most challenge part is time management and fast-learning: three months, eight cities and more than forty dealers is indeed a dual test of physical and mental condition. working efficiently in the travel helps students gain more experience in effective time management. visiting many enterprises also opens up a broader vision of truck industry. what we have learned and wehave practiced are combined closely together. the travel is tough but meaningful.

the most important is customer oriented communication. only with a deep understanding of the company's culture and interest points, and in-depth knowledge of domestic truck industry in order can we develop the best solution. always keep in touch with the company and closely track the change of requirements is the best way to maximize benefits of the company and students’ personal value.

the biggest gain is team friendship. in three months, the five people forged a profound friendship. we are in close coordination, mutual tolerance and sacrifice. in daily life, we care for each other help each other, making friendship deeper every day.
