I also actively took part in various campus and social activities. For example, I was the president of the students’ Union for 3 years, during which my practical abilities were improved a lot.

3 工作经验

Tell me your working experience in details

I have been working for 7 years since my graduation from college.

I started my first job in Sony, a world famous company which produces Digital & Electronics products. My position was a salesman at that time, responsible for building sales in Shanghai area. 2 years later, I was promoted to the Sales Manager of Shanghai, based on my work performance.

Then, for some reasons, I changed my job to another company, LG, after working in Phillips for 3 years. My position in LG was the Marketing Manager of eastern China, mainly responsible for improving sales, promoting brand image, and strengthening public relations.  

My job in LG was greatly appreciated, and I was awarded Outstanding Employees for many times. The biggest accomplishment during my work was that I improved sales by 20% and cut operating cost by 15% in 2 months in 2005,

Looking back upon my work history, I’m so proud that my experience and practical ability has been improved so much. However, I guess it’s still not enough to meet the work challenges, that’s why I took MBA last year.

4 你的长处和短处是什么？

Your own strengths:

I’m a fast learner: I learn things very fast, and I can adapt to new environment in a short time;

I have good analytical and problem solving skills, which will help me a lot during my MBA;

I have a potential of management and leadership, which was demonstrated and recognized in my company, but I still want to get it improved systematically in Jiaoda University.

Your own weaknesses:

Talking about my weakness, I think I should work on my management ability. You know, I have a technical background, so sometimes I have problem to manage things and allocate resources properly, assign people with tasks, or keep things under control. That’s why I’m eager to improve my management in this MBA program.

5 在空余时间有什么爱好？

There are a lot of things that I do in my free time. As people say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and I perfectly understand the importance of relaxation after work.

I like sports very much and football is my biggest favorite. It’s always great to get together with my mates on weekends, and keep running around the ground for a few hours. It makes me physically stronger and totally refreshed.

I also like reading much. Not too many people today can really sit down and read a book for more than 2 hours every day. But as I think, reading is a rewarding hobby, as it can make you mentally smarter.

One more thing, I like to travel around. I enjoy talking to new people and get to know new customs and places.

Traveling is my biggest hobby because_______________

I also like computer games a lot, because_______________

6 为什么以前曾经辞职？

Well, I think there are many reasons why I quit my job 2 years ago from Sony to Samsung.

First of all, the incentive system in Sony was not very good. I mean, personal benefits are not closely related to ones work performance, so people would lack motivation to work hard;

Another reason is that there was limited room for my further career development. My goal was to become the CFO in a giant company, but the opportunity was slim in Sony;

The last reason was that the job was not exactly what I liked most. In fact, I prefer a bit more challenging job, but my work in Sony was a little routine, and my interests and abilities could not be fully put into play.

Whatever the reason, I’m still thankful to Sony, which had offered me a very good opportunity to develop my abilities and improve my management skills.

7 过去工作中最大的成就是什么？

Actually, my past work experience is a chain of failures and achievements!

Yet, talking about the biggest achievement, I think it was 2 years ago, when I was the Manager of Logistic Department in an E-business Company, dangdang.com.

The problem facing the company at that time is that it was troubled with high operating cost and low delivery efficiency. In order to make the situation better, I worked with my mates on the Information System for half a year, and also brought forward our plans of how to better our warehouses and deliveries.

The job was well done, and we successfully cut operating cost by 20%. It was because of this that I was promoted to the Vice president of this company.

• Talking about my biggest achievement, I think it was_____ when I was________

• The company is troubled with__________

• To make the situation better, we_________

• We successfully____________
