Maria is a graduate in Marketing and German and began her career doing multilingual recruitment in London. She then moved to Hong Kong where she managed the national graduate recruitment programme for KPMG China for several years. She has since
returned to the UK and still works for KPMG China but is now dedicated to the overseas Chinese / HK Chinese student population who wish to return home after graduation. The demand for this position has arisen from the increasing number of Chinese students studying in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada. KPMG China recruits around a third of its graduate programme / places from overseas
universities. Maria can advise extensively about being competitive as an overseas graduate and how to get through some of the challenging selection processes in the market today.
