Writing exercise

…Now I am a brand planner working in a branding company. Some of projects that I was responsible for included Citibank Young Talent Program, Rolls-Royce’s launch event for their shanghai branch and a nation-wide car performance contest. My past event experience has contributed to my ability to balance different kinds of tasks and events simultaneously and efficiently. It also helped me increase my practical communication skills, I believe these skills will be useful during my postgraduate studies.
I am a person with determination and perseverance as proven by the fact that I competed my last post graduate exam whilst I had a full time job with lots of responsibility. I will do my utmost to overcome any difficulties I might be faced with. I sincerely hope to become a graduate student of Shanghai University to improve my theoretical and practical knowledge and take my communication skills to the next level.
Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it (and I hope to hear back from you soon).
