As a result, I naturally chose accounting as my undergraduate major. Not until I entered into Jilin University of Finance and Economics, rich contents and specialization requirements of the whole system in accounting did I realize. In my undergraduate study, just as absorbent as a sponge, I studied desperately, and absorbed essences that professors taught, especially for calculus, linear algebra, statistics and econometrics, thus I got the average GPA of 3.34. The more knowledge I learned about traditional accounting, the more interests and curiousness I accumulated for green accounting. Under the guidance of Prof. CUI Yingbo, I wrote the thesis Reasons and Discussions of Several Questions on Green Accounting. By searching many information resources and doing quantity analysis by compounding mathematic model, I found with the fast economic development of China, pushing on the process of green accounting was extremely urgent, for people’s consciousness of ecological environment could be enhanced. The first part of thesis was a summary on development, goal and concept of green accounting, which was summed up by me in reading literatures at home and abroad. The following part was recognition and measurement of green accounting, and the methods would lay a professional data foundation for green accounting. The third and fourth parts were existing problems and corresponding solutions of green accounting in China. A glance at the process of writing the thesis, I learned so much about green accounting’s significance for China and I was endowed with the mission sense of making innovation in accounting and finance.
It deems that as accounting systems develop, the challenges in emerging market are indisputable, which requires that accounting and finance staff should strengthen and amplify continuous education and renew knowledge. Thus I signed up for Procter & Gamble Business Elite Challenge Tournament 2014 to improve myself. In competition, we operated in groups of six to ensure we can bring out the best and create strong working relationships. Thus, the econometrics models were analyzed to find ingredient, functionality and the other unusual characteristics of this product. I made some rigorous training to understand the product and customer for members then designed suitable propaganda poster for Olay Men products. Under multiple discussions, we finally reached an agreement on marketing plan- using a method of combining online services and offline services to conduct marketing campaigns. It mainly referred to releasing products information on micro-blog, WeChat and other network platforms with colorful page designs, and setting exhibition stand on colleges and universities to answer any kind of questions produced by potential customers about Olay Men products and can show and sell products to them skillfully. In ten days, we totally sold seventeen Olay Men products and Jilie products and the total sales was RMB 4259.9. To us delighted, we became group runner-up in Jilin area.
The pleasure of success would not let me be arrogant or superior; however, it made me be more calm and sensible. I often asked myself what I was aiming to do next, what my plans were for the future. Thanks to the best efforts I paid on learning proven qualitative and quantitative methods for evaluating enterprise architectures exist in practice, I transformed all those experience as big plus for my internship and found the career goal.
During internship in an accounting firm, I worked as audit assistant. I thought, in the beginning, I might have the chance to involve in audit project. But what I did was real and trivial work. Such as arranging the audit documents, receiving and dispatching confirmation requests and account receivable etc. Gradually I learned a lot of new knowledge and my productivity had been improved greatly. Since I expect to fulfill my life by working in Big Four or relevant occupation with excellence and innovation, I took all opportunities to foster basic vocational quality and prepare the corresponding competences of financial professionals’ psychological instinct. Setting a solid foundation in economics, finance, statistics and international business is a necessary part for me to pursue career in the finance industry. Your university’s courses will allow me with a range of professional backgrounds to acquire comprehensive view of today’s rapidly changing economic environment. World-class research and research-led teaching with a real focus on personal and career development would promote my career ambitions. Finishing graduate study, I plan to be a member of the Fortune Global 500 companies. Working in a challenging industry with huge potential, I need remarkable adaptive capacity, fast-learning ability and entrepreneurial spirit. I am convinced of, in my career, not only can I work in the fastest growing financial industry, also will I be endowed with a vision of real-world business situations, relentless execution and excellent communication skills. All that will make me qualified for any jobs in the future. I had grown up in a stimulating, free and fulfilling environment, so communication, embracing diversity and innovative thinking give me more courage and determination to go after my career goals. Because of the ebb and flow of my discipline is deeply related with the tolerance and open mind of a university and its country, then studying in Canada is my solid choice.
In western economics class, I gained principles of economics and learned how to eliminate the false and retain the true. Through rational analysis based on data, which will reveal to all involved the "right" or "best" answer. That is the basic and strict requirement for financial industry practitioners. Though always on the way to keep knowledge fresh and up to date, I still remain true to myself and follow my own interests, values, dream, and passion. I would be very grateful for entering your prestigious university’s graduate program. That would be a treasurable experience and learning opportunity which will endow me with valuable skills that can take me be one step up.
