    03: Build high-end internship base to help students start their career
    At the 2020 internship job fair in BHI, as a popular internship partner, Universal Beijing Resort attracted nearly 50 students. Apart from the brand popularity, what are the attractions of working at Universal Beijing Resort? Two BHI students who are about to start their internship share their thoughts. 
    My first impression about Universal Beijing Resort is that it clearly presents my dream. I have been fond of Harry Potter since I was a child, and I am attracted by its Harry Potter IP.
    I believe that with the high-quality platform of Universal Beijing Resort and a humble learning attitude, I will surely gain something here.
    The working atmosphere of Universal Beijing Resort was extremely attractive to me. Working around the theme parks such as Transformers, Minions and The Magical World of Harry Potter will be a wonderful experience.
    I hope I can constantly develop myself and challenge myself during this internship, so that I can integrate knowledge and practice and put what I have learned into practice!

    The visit of BHI management team has further promoted the cooperation between BHI and Universal Beijing Resort, and BHI will continue to provide high-quality management talents for the Resort with our professional advantages.
