Personal profile

 

I am a hard working sociable person who aims to achieve the best in everything I do. During the past five years, I have been residing in China studying Chinese, teaching English as a foreign language and also working as a recruiter. I am ambitious and I believeworking and living in Chinahas helped develop my personal growth and continued to motivate me in aiming for continued success in my future career. This recent experience demonstrated my ability to adapt to a new environment and integrate into a different culture. I have always been an adventurous person and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm. I also consider myself to be a good leader and able to handle considerable challenges. I am also a good problem solver.

 

Key Skills

 

Communication - I have excellent communication skills with the ability to engage with people of all ages and cultures in a range of situations. My experience includes teaching English to large classes of children of various ages ranging from 3-18. I have also taught adults on a one on one basis. I am a confident public speaker.

 

Language skills - I have been studying Chinese for almost 5 years while living in China. I have achieved a good level of fluency in speaking, writing, reading and listening. I have studied formally at Guangzhou University of foreign studies in 2012 and Guilin University of Technology in 2009. I have continued to study and improve my language skills in my free time. I have a lot of interest in China, especially the culture and the lifestyle. I have learned a lot through communicating with people on a daily basis. I appeared on Chinese television, as a contestant on a job-hunting show called “I Am the Best”; the show was recorded entirely in Chinese. I have recently completed the Chinese Proficiency language Examination, HSK, at level 4, with a pass of 238 out of 300, which is a grade A.

 

Leadership- I believe my leadership skills are strong; and I enjoy being in a position of responsibility. In my most recent job teaching I had to show a high level of leadership and discipline. I am mentally strong and I am able to work efficiently even in difficult circumstances. My role while working at “Cost-Killer” was that of a Customer Service Manager. I had to lead a team, motivating staff in their work and encouraging them to achieve high results and meet targets.

 

Organisation -I have excellent all round organisational ability with experience of working under pressure and meeting deadlines.During my year at Guilin University Iwas promoted tohead of the ForeignStudents Union. My responsibilities included organising events and supporting other foreign students. During my recent employment in Foshan I had to organise daily lessons and arrange many activities.
