My name is _____.I have years of experience in sales management, marketing communications and project management. This, combined with my linguistic abilities - in addition to my native Mandarin, I have excellent English writing skills honed by years of correspondence with overseas customers and extensive English-Chinese translation experience, as well as a command of Taiwanese dialect and some French - and a strong knowledge of the regional and international business environment bolstered by my years as an Asia-Pacific project manager and a sales manager in China, mean I am a valuable asset to any company. I completed a bachelors degree in diplomacy, with my courses including international trade, economics, mass communications, international public law and French.

After graduating, I worked as the Asia-Pacific project manager for Messe Frankfurts Taiwan branch. There, I supported operational issues in Taiwan and promoted new trade exhibitions across the Asia-Pacific region. I then became the marketing communications deputy manager for United Microelectronics Corp, where I provided support for public relations and marketing communications and was responsible for media relations and corporate-related information updates. Most recently, I worked as a sales manager for Dongguan Primax Electronics & Telecom Products in Dongguan, China. In addition to leading my sales team, I developed promotional events and marketing strategies. During my time there, I significantly expanded the company's customer base both in China and overseas.

In addition to my sales and marketing communications skills, I have the strong interpersonal, communication and leadership skills necessary to lead an effective sales team. I am experienced working in a multimedia environment and proficient using Microsoft Office and Macromedia Dreamweaver.

● Remember to put your name at the top, as well as the position your are applying for. ● A biography should complement, not duplicate, your resume. It should add a personal touch. The biography and cover letter is often your first contact with an employer, and creates an important first impression. ● Your biography and cover letter should be designed specifically for the job you are applying for. ● Explain the reasons for your interest in the company and mention your qualifications, skills and experience that are most relevant to the job you are applying for. It is used to provide the employer with additional information as to why you are a good candidate for the job. ● It should express a high level of interest in and knowledge about the position. ● Since the hiring manager will read the biography in addition to your resume, you do not need to repeat all information from your resume in the biography.

While your resume lists facts about your education and experience, the biography provides an opportunity to explain why the company should consider you for the job. ● The biography should contain more subjective information like why you are interested in the job you are applying for, how your values motivate you for the job, or why the company appeals to you. ● Your biography should also mention what you have accomplished in your previous jobs, not just your skills or personal qualities. Try to include good things previous employers have said about you to illustrate your accomplishments and contributions.
