If you're looking for a job in China, it's a good idea to prepare some typical questions you might get asked. It is slightly different in China because the self-introduction letter written by locals often contains a detailed history of not only themselves, work experience, and hobbies, but also their family and where they grew up. Today's lesson is a great template to follow and a good way to prepare for a job interview at a traditional firm. Photo by Flazingo Photos

由于负责任及细心的个性，不仅让我顺利克服求学时遇到的困难，也展现在工作成效上。过去的工作经验包括留英时期的助教工作，我也曾在一家英文报社从事记者工作。

My responsible and meticulous nature allowed me to overcome difficulties I encountered in my studies, as well as making me more effective in my work. I have previous work experience including as a TA while I was studying abroad in the UK and I also worked as a journalist for an English-language paper.
我认为我的协调能力过人，2006年时曾于外交部举办的【亚太情势研讨会】担任接待工作，于会前用英文与海外相关人士沟通，会议全程协助主办单位协调，研讨会最后圆满落幕，我也获得长官极高的评价。

I think my ability to coordinate makes me stand out. In 2006 I worked at the reception desk for the "Asia Pacific Affairs Forum" hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, using English to communicate with foreign attendees just before the forum. I also helped the hosts throughout with coordinating the event and when the forum came to a satisfactory end I was commended by senior officials.
