Interview
Online Resume submission -> Group interview, mainly talk about personal experience, school life and etc. (Be prepared your self introduction) -> Personal Interview, interviewer ask my experience in detail, he tried to know my personality and etc. I only got to this stage and didn't make it. BTW, the whole process was in plain Chinese, but i heard that if you apply for different position, (marketing and other non-technical position), you have to do it in English (give a presentation on stage talking about some specific topic or something)
