Dear Sir,
I am writing to apply for your Purchasing Coordinator position. I am suitable
for this position because I have a distinctive analysis angle, a creative mind,
strong organization skills and work efficiently with teams.
Distinctive analysis was a big point during my last work. When I joined the
exporting company, I found the product was out dated. We designed two series of
new products according to our main exporting markets. Also, we got 68% growth
within 2009.
Creating and trying new things is my work style. I persuade my boss to use the
B2B trade platform and wrote the regulation of incentive system for the platform.
The platform helped us to explore our globe market and led sales increased 15%
base on the B2B platform.
I enjoy working in a team. Working with a team has become a main form of
organization in business. When I worked in the exporting firm, we had a trading
team which has five members and attained to sales of $3.5 million. The team
covered the global market, such as the U.S.A, Japan, Korea and EU. Within our MBA
program, we also do much team work, such as collaborative papers and
presentations.
Strong organizational skills helped me to achieve good performance in four times
and twice East China Fair. In collage, I organized environmental protection
events and led volunteers to clean public places and organized a Student
Photography Show, April 2006.
I expect a personal interview. And if you have any question, please feel free to
connect to me by email or phone. Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely
Chongshuai Zhu
