    留在这里纪念一下

    郁闷死我了。普华该死的网申,辛辛苦苦写了一整天的open question, 竟然是limited to 1000字符而不是1000单词,于是必须大规模删减。又是一个浩大的工程。。。
    把原稿留在这里纪念一下。堵死我了。

    This section has been designed to help us evaluate you as an individual and differentiate you from other candidates. Please answer each of the following questions in no more than 1000 characters.

     

    1) Why are you applying for this position?

    1. 对于一个刚毕业的尚无工作经验的大学生来说,普华永道是一个很好的事业起点。普华对于新进入公司员工的培训使所有的毕业生受益匪浅,不仅在业务上得到飞速的提升,更是一种人生阅历的丰富;同时普华提供给职员的各种诱人的机会能使我们快速提高核心竞争力,能够在较短时间内站在一个很高的平台上审视整个财务领域。对于一个刚毕业的大学生的career path来说,以上两点是至关重要的。

    具体到我所申请的审计部门,由于审计的对象涉足经济社会的不同领域,跨度非常大,这就使工作充满创新和挑战,一方面接触不同的领域能迅速的膨胀工作经验,使自己很快成为一名合格的财务人员,另一方面审计工作无时无刻不是新鲜的,有利于我们保持对工作持久的激情。

    2. 我申请这一职位的另一个重要原因是我对于普华永道企业文化的欣赏。四大工作(尤其是审计部门的工作)的辛苦是出了名的,但普华永道各种人性化的管理措施以及以人为本的企业文化却能最大限度的缓解员工工作的疲劳,因而我非常欣赏普华里面宽松、和谐的工作氛围。此外,普华永道尽力完成的企业社会责任也使其在社会上有广泛的知名度和信誉度,我在大学期间大量的志愿者服务活动中培养的奉献精神与这样的企业文化是完美契合的。以上两点使我相信,我在普华这样的企业文化中能够非常愉快的工作,并且得到良好的职业发展。

    3. 具体到这次我所申请的暑期实习生项目,对于没有工作经验的大学生,参与公司实习是积累相关经验的最便捷的途径。基于对普华永道会计师事务所的向往,我想,只有加入贵公司的实习项目,才能使我最快地了解最快的融入这个优秀的团体,为09年毕业生招聘中进入贵公司乃至以后的promotion打下良好的基础。

    4. 我对审计部门感兴趣的另外一个重要原因是基于我个人性格的分析,在充分认识自己的基础上,我认为自己很适合从事这一行业,能够在工作中得到快乐,保持激情,取得成功。具体的分析请参考我下一题的回答。

    1. For an undergraduate without working experience, PriceWaterhouseCoopers is a good starting point of career path. PwC gives me such an image, that all the staff who has just taken part in can benefit a lot from the training course for the new-comers. The training can not only improve staff in the operation sense, but also enrich people’s life experience. Another point PwC impresses me much is the varieties of attractive opportunities it provide for its staff. All those opportunities will do a lot in helping us to increase our core competency, letting us stand at a relatively higher stage in the accounting and finance related field in a very short time. The above two points are essential for a student just leaving college.

     

    Specifically for the ABAS department I am applying for, since different fields of the economic society are involved in the objects of audit, the working background varies now and then. That makes the assurance work filled with innovation and challenge. For one thing, getting touch with different fields can expand working experience rapidly, making me eligible financial personnel. For another, the work is fresh every minute in ABAS, which is propitious for me to keep permanent passion.

     

    2. Another important reason for my applying is my appreciation for PwC’s corporate culture. People always say that work in “big four” (especially in the audit department) is tedious and tiring. But PwC provides a large amount of human-based management measures. The people oriented culture can ease the staff’s tiresome in a large extent. Therefore, I appreciate the loose and harmonious working environment very much. Additionally, PwC is doing its best to fulfill the corporate social responsibility, which gives the firm a good reputation and credit standing in the society. I think my dedication spirit which is cultivated in the volunteer activities in my college life fits for the corporate culture perfectly. In that sense, I believe I am able to earn a pleasant work in such a culture in PwC, furthermore, get a nice career development.

     

    3. For the summer intern project I am applying for, I think taking part in the intern project is the most direct way of accumulating related experience. Based on the yearning towards PwC, it’s my true thoughts that only by entering your intern project can I be acquainted deeply with as well as permitted into such an excellent team. I believe that if I am lucky enough to be received, it can give me a solid foundation and comparative advantage in graduate recruitment in 2009.

     

    4. A further explanation for my interest in assurance department is based on the analysis of my personality. After fully knowing myself, I am confident to say that I fit for the job so much, that I can acquire pleasure, keep passion and as a result succeed in this field. Specific reasons are listed below in the answer of the next question. : )

     

    2) Please explain how your personal qualities, skills, knowledge and working experience will help you to be successful in the position for which you are applying.

    1. 个人性格方面,detail-oriented, precise, careful,patient, long for perfection 非常符合普华的工作要求。一方面我能在大量细碎的工作中获得乐趣而不会感到疲惫,另一方面对细节的重视和对完美的追求能够使我很好地完成审计部门大量的工作。

    2. 语言能力和沟通能力。良好的英语水平是我胜任这个职位的基础,英语口语和写作方面的优势能使我在工作中游刃有余。同时,汉语水平突出,普通话标准,口头沟通能力很强,这一点可以在我大学期间参加的各种社会活动中得到验证。以上语言能力与沟通能力保证我与客户良好沟通,与同事和谐相处。

    3. 大学期间学生会的工作经历、下乡经历,acca就业力大赛案例分析的经历以及其它团队合作的经验培养了我良好的团队合作能力,能在一个团队中与leader partner很好的配合,发挥自己的作用,共同完成既定目标。同时,我曾任班级的班长、暑期社会实践团队领队等领导者角色,这些经验也培养了我相当的领导力,为今后的晋升做好准备。

    4. 大学期间我曾参与过数次义务献血,两次下乡支教,担任JA中国部志愿者,参与了大量志愿服务活动。这些活动培养了我很强的奉献精神和社会责任感,这与普华永道的企业文化是十分契合的。

    5. 去年冬天我曾在local firm实习,全程参与了对住总房地产开发总公司、悦成大酒店等大型企业的年终审计,积累了一定的工作经验,为进入普华永道审计部实习做了实践方面的准备。

    6. 现在正在准备20089月的CICPA考试,这个过程使我在理论上为会计师事务所的工作做好准备。

     

    1. When it comes to my personality, I am detail-oriented, careful, patient, precise as well as longing for perfection, which are all suitable for the working demand of PriceWaterhouseCoopers. As a result, I can obtain enjoyment from large amount of finely distributed work instead of exhaustion. Also the much thought of detail and the pursuit for perfection qualifies me well to fulfill the work in ABAS.

     

    2. Language and communication skills. A nice English skill is the basis of my competency. The advantage in oral English and writing can let me do the job with skill and ease. Meanwhile, the mother language of mine is perfect that I can speak a standard mandarin. The excellent communication skill is validated in my social activities in the 3 years college life. Therefore, I am able to go along with colleagues and communicate with clients well.

     

    3. The working experience in the Student Union, the experience of going into the countryside, the experience of the group case study in the ACCA Job-hunting Camp and also the other team cooperation experiences cultivated me outstanding group cooperation ability, that I can work with the leader and partner of a team very well to achieve the common goal perfectly. At the same time, I was monitor of my class at one time and the leader of my summer social practice team. The leader part I played also gave comparative leadership to me, which prepares me well for my further promotion in PriceWaterhouseCoopers.

     

    4. During my undergraduate life, I donated my blood several times, helped teaching in the impoverished countryside twice, and acted as a volunteer in Junior Achievement China. I joined in large quantities of volunteer activities. These activities give me strong dedication spirit and social responsibility, which agree with the corporate culture in PwC very well.

     

    5. Last winter I had an intern period in a local accounting firm to acquaint myself with audit related affairs. I took part in the whole process of the annual audit to several large-scale companies, like the Zhuzong Real Estate Corporation and the Yuecheng Grand Residence Hall. I have accumulated comparable experiences in the intern period, which prepares me well for the work in assurance department in PwC.

     

    6. And right now I am preparing for the CICPA examination in September 2008. The process qualifies me academically for the accounting firm work.

     

    3) What community or students' clubs do you belong to and to what extent are you involved?

    我想以星火农村发展促进会为例回答这个问题。我作为这个club or rather association的会员,在2007年五一和十一参加了两次下乡的活动。协会本着支农学农的目标,需要每一个参与者践行志愿服务的精神,为中国农村的发展做出自己微薄的贡献。2007年五一,我跟随下乡的团队来到了山西的农村,我在这个团队中扮演指导员的角色。十一期间,我与另一个团队的成员来到山东的农村,我在这个新的集体中负责安全方面的事务。两次不同的地点,我在团队中扮演了不同的角色,而相同的是我都很好的融入了集体,支教、调研工作尽心尽力的完成。作为星火的一员我学会了很多,包括团队、纪律、责任、奉献。

     

    I want to take “Xinghuo” Country Development Promotion Union as an example. Being a member of the club, or rather social association, I took part in the “going into the countryside” activity twice last year in May Day holiday and National Day holiday, respectively. The association is based on the “agriculture, farmer, country” affairs. It is aimed at “support agriculture, learn the farmers”, which demands every member to realize the volunteer service spirit. In the May Day holiday 2007, I, along with my team members, arrived at a country in Shanxi Province, and I was the director of the team. Again, in the National Day holiday in fall, I went to a devious country in Shandong Province, with a different group of people, and I took in charge of safety in the new team. Two different locations, two different roles I played, the same thing was that I was in harmony with the team both times. I devoted myself in the teaching and researching work, enjoyed my time with the indigenous kids and made my best to accomplish the established task. Being a member of “Xinghuo”, I learned a lot, including team cooperation, discipline, responsibility, and devotion. All that will help me much in my future career path.

     

    4) Any additional information?

    1. 关于我的专业。全称为数理经济与数理金融,数学与经济学双学位,全英文教材全英文教学,很多专业课程设置与国外一流大学研究生阶段课程一致,因此课程数量较多,难度较大。一方面塑造了我扎实的数学基础和良好的英语能力,另一方面也在一定程度上解释了我相对较低的专业课学分基点。

    2. 关于我的特长与兴趣爱好。我通过了业余手风琴十级考试,有较深的音乐底蕴和艺术素养。擅长写作、朗诵,喜爱足球篮球羽毛球等各种球类运动以及游泳,爱好摄影,能熟练运用各种音频视频处理软件,有良好的影像后期处理能力,曾自主创作多部视频短片,在学校中反响强烈。

    3. 我在20084月参加了由ACCA北京代表处举办的ACCA job-hunting camp,从900多名参赛选手中脱颖而出,经过简历筛选、笔试、面试进入最终的北京区25强,并在最后的决赛中与队友通力合作获得最佳团队奖。

    4.我对贵公司的员工推荐制度比较感兴趣,如果我有幸进入贵公司实习乃至最终能够进入普华工作,我想我会更多地了解这方面的信息和要求,从而能举荐身边一些优秀的朋友进入普华,为普华带来更多的活力。

     

    1. About my major. The full name of my major is mathematical economics and mathematical finance, mathematics and economics double bachelor’s degree. All the text books are in English and all the courses are instructed in English. Many major courses are set in accordance with the course arrangement in the graduate stage in the top universities in US. As a result, the quantity of the courses is relatively large and the difficulty is also high. The large amount of training for one part gives me solid foundation in maths and excellent ability in English, for another gives a reasonable explanation for my relatively low GPA in major courses.

    2. About my hobbies. I have passed the 10 grade of accordion performance, affirmed by the Appraisal Committee, Tianjin Conservatory of Music. So I am confident to say I have got good art attainment. I am good at writing and elocnting, fond of different kinds of ball games, and also being a shutterbug. I am familiar with applied programs in managing audio and video documents, in a sense that I created several movie clips by myself.

    3. I joined in the job-hunting camp held by ACCA Beijing Agency in April 2008. Selected from more than 900 candidates in Beijing, experiencing resume selecting, English test, logical test and interview section, I was luckily permitted into the final round of top 25 in Beijing. And by the perfect cooperation with my teammates, we obtained the best team award finally.

    4. About PriceWaterhouseCoopers. I am interested in your employer referral program. If I am lucky enough to be permitted into your intern project, and stay in PwC for my stable job, I think I would like to know more about the relevant information so that I can commend some excellent friends around me into PwC serving for you who are the first-rank team.

    Thanks for reading!
