• Clear Logical Thinking and Strong Execution

  I firmly believe that clear logical thinking and strong execution are the keys to achieving any goal. It is precisely these abilities that allowed me to maintain a passion for exploring the world throughout my academic journey, from China to Canada, and then to South Korea, and to quickly learn new languages. This drive to explore stems from my deep curiosity about new things, and behind achieving these goals is my rigorous daily planning and effective execution in both learning and life.

In every new environment, I set clear learning goals for myself and create detailed plans to ensure that I work toward these goals every day. By doing so, I have been able to quickly adapt to new cultures and languages while maintaining excellent academic performance. Thanks to this execution, I received scholarships every semester and, in my final semester, I was awarded a full scholarship. This not only validates my hard work but also demonstrates my ability to stay focused and solve problems with clear logic in complex environments.

  In my future career, I am confident that this clear logical thinking and strong execution will help me quickly make judgments in the fast-changing environment, formulate reasonable strategies, and ensure that each goal is effectively implemented.

• Communication Skills

  During my work as a financial advisor, I demonstrated excellent communication skills. By building trust with clients and maintaining a positive, approachable attitude, I was able to accurately understand their needs and provide personalized solutions based on their risk tolerance. In discussions, I was able to explain complex financial products and market trends in simple terms to help clients better understand the logic behind financial decisions and enhance their financial literacy.

  Due to my professional and effective communication with clients, many clients specifically requested that I continue to serve them after the initial consultation. This feedback not only reflects my strengths in managing client relationships but also proves my ability to remain calm under pressure and communicate effectively with different types of clients.

  I firmly believe that these strong communication skills not only helped me succeed in managing client relationships but will also enable me to build strong collaborative relationships with colleagues and communicate effectively with clients in future roles. These abilities will be a powerful asset in working with global clients, suppliers, and teams in every industry to further team goals and increase customer satisfaction.

• Crisis Management Skills

  Handling unexpected situations is a strength that I am proud of, and it has been a valuable asset in both my professional and internship experiences. During my internship at the logistics company, I encountered several emergencies that required quick responses and effective solutions. For example, in the final stages of preparing a bid, the equipment needed to bind the proposal malfunctioned, preventing the documents from being bound on time. This unexpected situation could have resulted in a failed bid, and time was running out. Under pressure, I immediately implemented Plan B, contacting an external printing and binding service, while coordinating team members to ensure the content was accurate and other preparations were completed promptly. Ultimately, we successfully submitted the proposal on time, avoiding what could have been a major failure.

  This experience taught me that in fast-paced industries like logistics, unforeseen circumstances are inevitable. The key is to remain calm, quickly assess the situation, develop contingency plans, and efficiently coordinate team resources to respond. With this crisis management ability, I am able to maintain clear thinking under pressure and ensure tasks are completed successfully. In the future, I believe this ability will help me adapt flexibly to various challenges in complex work environments, not only solving unexpected problems but also minimizing risks and ensuring smooth project execution.

• Personality Weakness: Overthinking

  I have to admit that overthinking is a weakness in my personality, as this habit often consumes a lot of energy, especially when facing important tasks. For example, during my academic career, whenever midterm or final exams approached, I would frequently fall into the trap of overanalyzing potential scenarios. Before exams, I would repeatedly contemplate the possible question types that might appear, even attempting to predict all potential difficulties and pitfalls. While this sometimes helped me prepare more comprehensively and achieve excellent results, it also drained a significant amount of my energy, often leaving me feeling exhausted.

  I realize that while some may view overthinking as a good habit that allows for thorough consideration of every detail and possibility, for me personally, this habit sometimes causes me to lose focus on what’s truly important. In the process of overthinking, I tend to fall into self-doubt, questioning whether my goals and direction are correct, which can even lead to unnecessary anxiety. This has made me realize that overthinking does not always yield positive results; it can leave me feeling mentally drained, affecting both my decision-making and execution.

  I am actively working to improve this weakness by learning to make more concise and decisive decisions when facing complex problems, avoiding getting lost in the details. I believe that by gaining more confidence and consciously controlling my thought process, I can reduce unnecessary energy expenditure and focus my efforts on more important goals.
