“I went to the University of Washington and majored in English Literature. I went to graduate school because I really enjoyed learning. Afterwards, I started my career at Boeing as a web content editor. I’ve been there for 3 years now. Although my emphasis is in writing, I like numbers. I think solving logic problems and riddles are quite fun. I also enjoy jogging, reading, and watching movies.”

After 5 years working at Third Bridge, I do realize I am someone who is really excited about growing an account from 0 to 1 (add something about your personal life and how this is reflected there). That’s exactly what I’ve done the past couples of years.
I really want to tap into a big firm such as Google to further define myself as a sales/account management person and make it as a long term career. Witnessing Third Bridge grow from a small company to a middle size company, to be honest, I am eager to join a big firm to see how I can fit myself in / how I would fit in and empower myself to accept new challenges and learn as much as I can from colleagues.
The advertising industry is totally new for me, but I do believe I can ramp up in his role quickly based on what I’ve learned about myself and achieved on growing accounts in the past years.
Additionally, several of my friends work in Google for new client acquisition and account management roles. I’ve spoken with them a number of times and they are really proud of working here and we had discussed the concept of Googleyness. I am really excited about the possibility of being part of Google’s culture. I think it’s about who you really are. I can’t pretend to be someone I am not. If you happened to have those qualities Google are looking for, then you are the one. – you either fit in or you don’t / you’re either googly or you’re not.

we supposed to went to a wanghong restaruant which is highly recommended on xhx but there are too many people lining up so we just gave up. We just went right away to the restaurant just right next to the wanghong restaurant and surprisingly it tastes really good. I don’t think so comparing with SH. I have been staying in GZ for more than 20 years.
