放空等待入职Day2——NIO Summary&准备做视频

The internship in NIO

finally came to an end. I take the period as a very precious and joyful

experience in my life, so I’d like to review it in this video, and I have

thought the language used in this video, whether in English or in Chinese, and

because what I want to express is highly personal related, if I say them in

Chinese, I will feel it so weird or 矫情，thus this video will be expressed inEnglish. So let’s go.

I returned to themainland from Hong Kong in May 2022 and stayed at home for more than a monthafter the quarantine ended in the beginning of June. This month, the firsttwenty days were relaxed and happy, then became a little anxious for the rest10 days. There are two main reasons:

First, I am easyto become anxious if I am idle for a long time, so I always only take a breakfor at most about 20 days, and then I will start to arrange work or study. Thistime, I planned to leave home and started looking for an internship when I stayat home for near 20 days as well.

Secondly, manyclassmates around me were doing internships at that time. They left Hong Kongbefore me and found the internship they wanted before me. And because during myquarantine period which was supposed to be used to find an internship, I wasdoing nothing but wasting the time with playing, sleeping and other suchthings. In such an environment, I was getting increasingly worried that time willbe wasted until the end of autumn recruitment, this anxiety was brought by theenvironment, or we can say it peer pressure.

Sometimes I amlucky, or sometimes we'll cross all the ups and downs if we try a lot and nevergive up. Anyway, after I came to Hangzhou and started looking for aninternship, one day I suddenly received the interview invitation from NIO'sproject management intern position, and got the offer after one interview.

When I got theoffer, I was thinking about whether I should accept such an offer or not,because I have software development experience. At that time, I was wonderingwhether I should continue to look for a development job or continue my graduatemajor and find a job related to project management or product. Although Ididn't think this decision through clearly, I eventually chose to take it becauseat least I thought it was a good opportunity to broaden my experience.

Then in less thantwo weeks, I fulfilled my promise and went back to my hometown again to trip withmy family. Then I came back to Hangzhou and rented a house in Shanghai withinthree days, packed my luggage, and arrived in Shanghai on July 10, 2022. OnJuly 11, I went to Anting NIO to entry my internship, which then started a veryrare journey for me.

Later, I thoughtthat this internship seemed to fulfill some of my little wishes during andafter college, and also to help me step into the zone that I had been afraid togo to.

During theuniversity, I was afraid to find a job in Shanghai all the time, because I wasafraid that I didn't have the ability and confidence to do well, so I didn't tryit once. However, this time, I stayed in Shanghai for several months, and wentto many places. It was amazing how quickly I found myself settling into a lifethat was, to some extent, the same as any city I'd ever lived in, with the onlydifference being the people I have been in contact with. Now I want to say it’ssimple to live in a new city.

During theinternship, I also did something I always wanted to do, which was to ridearound on a small electricmotorbikein the summer.After deciding to intern at NIO, I considered all kinds of factors and finallychose to live a little bit far away, which costed less house-rent fee. I usedthe money I saved on rent to buy a small electric motorbike so that I couldcommute freely. It was also because of this arrangement that I fulfilled mylittle wish. In the early summer, the middle of summer, the end of summer andthe early autumn, I rode this small motorbike on the commuting road, closely experiencedthe changes of weather, trees and flowers through time along this way, and meta lot of sunsets. Every day became special and romantic because of the smallelectric motorbike. I love it.

undoubtfully, theinternship itself brought me something. I learned and got in touch with projectmanagement. I began to recognize a new industry and my world changed. Theinternship also brought me great challenges, among which the most challengingpart for me was communicating with others. I used to be so afraid of sendingmessages to others, but this internship has trained me, and now I can press thesend button without too much preparation, even though I don't know orunderstand the person on the other side of the message. This is a benefit thatI think I will benefit from for the rest of my life. Communicating with othersis something that seems to be needed but not needed very much. Beforecommunicating with others, we imaginea lot, but after communicating, wefind that oh, it is so simple.
