Client Testimonials
Daniel Sehl, Digital Media Specialist at EASTWEST PR, Beijing
(Illinois State University)
“I had been struggling to get a job that wasn’t teaching English in China for a while when I got into contact with Michael on Linkedin. In my consultations with Michael he brought me through a unique and highly effective program that he called the “China Career Blueprint.” In it, I found the advice I needed to meet the goals I desired. I followed his guidance and found what methods needed changing in my career search in China. The more we communicated, the more I learned of his professionalism and the high value of the system he developed.
CCB worked for me quite well, and there is no doubt that it can and has worked for others. Michael has given me steady, thoughtful guidance since my first contact with him, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without him.”
Tony Liao, Finance Manager at Coca Cola China
(University of Manchester, MBA)
“Michael Park’s services are unique and can be found in very few places. Its unorthodox methods would definitely give an important advantage to anyone looking for jobs in China.
The personalized counseling, coupled with very reliable responses (most times within minutes if he is online) make it very easy for any job hunter to plan his/her strategy fluidly.
The most important advice I learned from him is to strategically differentiate myself from my competition. Overall, I would recommend giving his products and services a try.”
Heather Morgan, Language Activity Officer at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
(UC Davis)
“Having worked with Michael as a client, he has provided me with invaluable service that helped place me in my current career in Hong Kong. Michael provided multiple step by step career blue prints for launching my career in Asia. He showed me that there were multiple paths to entering a career in Hong Kong, or anywhere in Asia, and he gave me guidance on how to do so. Before obtaining my current position in Hong Kong, I had several other backup strategies for entering the Hong Kong market, thanks to Michael. His wide range of knowledge working and living in Asia, as well as his own experience as an American expat make him invaluable in career consulting for young American expats like myself. I still consult him regarding my future plans and career aspirations, and he still provides me with excellent service and practical applications.”
Edouard Lanckriet, Strategy Consultant – Energy and Environment, Observatoire de Emergents, BEIJING
(Ecole des Mines de Paris, Penn State)
“During the year and a half that I spent working with Michael across Europe and Asia for numerous case studies, we tackled a wide range of complex energy and environmental management projects. In this time, I’ve come to appreciate his sharp analytical mind and uncanny ability to adapt to all the cultures with whom we have exchanged. Moreover, while we were working together in Beijing, he assisted me in successfully sourcing interviews and offers in China, Korea, and Singapore with a range of multinationals and boutiques. I have had a great career in China as a consultant in economic and industrial strategy for energy and environmental projects. I am very confident that others would benefit from his blueprint as well.”
David Turberfield, Asia Pacific Managing Partner – Performance & Assurance at Environmental Resources Management (ERM)
“I have been working as an environmental professional and business developer in the Asia Pacific region since early 1994, dealing with start-ups and turnarounds in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and South Korea. Whilst developing rapidly growing teams of consultants, I have spent a great deal of time hiring individuals at all levels from interns to Directors and have seen a very broad range of strategies and approaches adopted by hopeful applicants. Whilst working with Michael Park in Seoul in 2010, he asked me to review the approach he had developed to help individuals to establish themselves in this part of the world. I was astonished to find that he had succeeded in creating a process that systematically ensures an applicant takes the appropriate actions towards securing a position in Asia. I believe that a graduate or budding professional, sincerely looking to build a career in Asia who applies his or herself to the steps set out in the blueprint will enjoy a successful outcome.”
Johnathan Lang, Iraq War Veteran
(CUNY Hunter College)
“Michael Park has been an outstanding resource in helping me plan any future move into China. I always have had a great interest in economic movements around the world and, coming from a few years of experience in the Middle East and Latin America, I have been well aware for some time now of the increasing power that this part of Asia holds as a growth market in the world economy. For this reason, I also saw in this place a number of potential opportunities for any young, adventurous, American university educated person willing to work at staking out his or her claim there.
When I heard about Michael’s experience in this area, I immediately reached out to him in order for us to share ideas, and to see if he could collaborate with me on developing an informed strategy to execute such a move. He first wanted to get a firm understanding of where I have been, where I am trying to go and what I am trying to do. Once we had a clear understanding as to what my vision is, he then proceeded to use his knowledge to aid me in laying out an actionable, step-by-step plan.
I was pleased at the depth and breadth of his knowledge about the various facets of Chinese society and economic trends. Having worked in other high-context cultures in the past, I knew that these are the important intangibles that would have the potential to make my task much easier, or much harder, as foreigner looking for success. Michael not only understood these intangibles, he showed me some of the best ways to make them work in my favor by incorporating them into my overall strategy. The action plan that we came up with is one that would increase my likelihood of success, and lower my exposure to risk, as much as possible if I make the move out to Shanghai.
Michael was very attentive and surprisingly quick in understanding the complexities of my situation, which is unique as compared to the majority of the clients he deals with (I am an Iraq War Veteran). I am grateful to him for helping me to lay out a personal roadmap to succeed in the dynamic Chinese economy. The actions that I am executing now, and will execute if I go there, will give me a competitive advantage over anyone attempting to make a similar move while not informed by Michael’s brand of expertise.”

“Last year, I was searching for an internship in the environmental field without any success. After months without luck, I looked for consultation from someone knowledgeable in the field. I was fortunate to have been referred to Mike Park, who had more knowledge in the environmental field than anyone I knew. At the time, Mike was pursuing a master’s degree in environmental studies from the University of Pennsylvania and had international experience working with companies in countries like France and China. Mike quickly pointed out to me that I was geographically limiting my options far too much as I was solely looking for opportunities in the states. Having a highly international background, Mike knew exactly which countries to direct me to for jobs. Not only did Mike direct me in the right direction, but he also provided me with a strong list of managers he knew I could reach out to. Sure enough, within weeks, I landed an internship with a very respected consulting firm in Seoul, South Korea, where I had a valuable experience. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to helping people find their dream job and I absolutely recommend his consultation service to anyone currently looking to begin or upgrade their career.”
Denny Kim, Assistant Consultant, Environmental Resources Management, Seoul Korea
(The College of William and Mary)
“After graduation I decided to broaden my horizons by going to Korea, where I became an English teacher. I wanted to transition into a role with a multinational but did not have a solid strategy. Once I got in touch with Michael Park, he helped me formulate a practical and effective strategy to get a full time role with my target company, Environmental Resources Management – a leading global environmental consultancy. I fully endorse his consultations and products for anyone interested in launching an international career.
Nathan Koppikar, Goldman Sachs, TPG Capital
(Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania / Stanford Graduate School of Business)
I have known Michael for the past decade in both a social and professional context. I consider him both a close friend and trusted advisor. He brings fresh perspectives on international business to the table given he has actually spent time on the ground in multiple countries and in multiple capacities, including as a student, as an employee, and as an entrepreneur. Unlike many other of my other colleagues and friends who made the decision to live abroad, Michael has the unique ability to truly bond with the local cultures in the countries he visits by living, breathing, and acting as a local. As a result, I often turn to Michael for advice when faced with business challenges abroad. He has helped me better understand the investment environments in Asia and in Eastern Europe.
He has also put me in touch with his wealth of contacts abroad. Michael’s networking skills are unparalleled and I have learned tremendously from his ability to “run the ranks” and have as close a relationship with a Chinese factory worker as he does with an Fortune 500 CEO. The contacts Michael has introduced me to have been an invaluable source of both professional opportunities as well as relationship networking.”
Shashwat Singh, Toronto, Canada – Planning an Internship Abroad
“I’m an 18 year old student who has greatly benefited from Michael Park’s consultation. In his session he laid out how I should approach college to build strong connections with companies in countries I’m interested in working in. He advised me to take a year abroad and intern strategically so that I can put myself far ahead of the competition. Instead of spending all of my college years in Canada, I now plan to spend at least one year abroad while strategically interning at companies I’m interested in.
I’m strongly grateful for Michael for his great advice and for opening my eyes to the massive opportunities that lie in emerging markets. Instead of struggling to pay my bills in expensive western cities I can now look forward to graduating and saving a lot of money working in emerging markets where my lifestyle output is far higher. Michael has also given me advice regarding the most useful languages that I should learn which is worth its weight in gold. He’s a true international careers expert and I’m very glad to have had a consultation with him.”
Allen Kato
Candidate for Bachelors at Cornell School of Hotel Administration, Class of 2016
Coming from a school where the smartest kids throw themselves at the chance to intern in NYC laboratories and Hedge Funds, I found Michael’s advice on both the Asia-Pacific Region and competitive college environment invaluable. Whereas many consultants are either too laissez-faire by telling their clients to “do whatever they want” or are too rigid by telling them to study viciously to out-credential the competition, Michael has a methodical, balanced approach to establishing successful careers abroad through internships and study abroad programs.
You and Michael establish a specific list of companies/industries you would like to work in, countries in Asia-Pacific you would like to work in, and your current skills that may be applicable to your field. From there, he strategizes with you on what kind of experience you should pick up, where the best cities to establish yourself are, and specific organizations and programs you could use as means to meet your goals. At the end of your first meeting, he’ll tell you the aspects of your plan you can immediately take action on, along with a few longer-term goals. Of course, he also makes sure to fit in time for fun and cultural experience in your chosen location: not just for personal enrichment and growth, but also for connecting with the local culture: a palpable part of networking.
One other impressive thing Michael does is give you pre-emptive solutions to problems you might face during your personalized plan. Whether it’s trying to enter business networks, multitasking college work with internship research, or deciding on courses and activities at college to make yourself more appealing to companies, Michael’s probably expecting it and has a solution.
I’d say the most eye-opening thing about Michael’s approach to internships/study abroad programs is the sheer number of opportunities available to you when you follow his methods. I highly recommend him and his program for anyone looking to set themselves up for a job in Asia. As the saying goes, “When you do what you love for a living, you never have to work a day in your life,” and Michael helps you do just that.
