The location of the apartment is at Kangding road, I love that place beacuse there are so many bars and good restaurants around there,  this is definitely a reason I’ve chosen that place. you know I love foods and beer:) There are 3 Roommates lives with me, one Chinese girl and one American girl. i haven’t meet the American girl beacuse she is living in the master room. So she doesn’t have to going out her room for nothing. The Chinese girl is kind and she told me the details about the (laundry machine and kitchen). There is another girl but she works in another city for a few days then come back.

The Chinese girl is kind and she gave me some tips about the laundry machine and kitchen. There is another girl but she works in another city for a few days then comes back.

I want to talk about my work experience. After i finished high school I found a job in one Italian company  with a location in France. This company builds its own brand of milling machines and i started as a commercial assistant. My tasks were to organize events, make offers, help customers and translate documentation. After 2 years in this job i evolved to/I got promoted to sales assistant in the same company. My tasks were to manage 6 technicians, buy and sell parts for repair/fix machines, make offers, service clients, make invoices, visit customers, read drawings to determine which part i ordered or have problems with, supply chain, transport machines, shipment, travel between France and Italy and train interns. I stayed in this second job for 4 years. I loved this job and company but i desired to evolve/advance more so i started working for a forklift company as a manager. I managed 12 technicians and after 1 year i quit because i didn’t like their organization and work method.
