VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [S]

Speaking exercise

I have worked in the banking and online businesses in business development for about 10 years at 2 different companies, including YesMyWine and mingshen bank. I spent 5 years at both companies and am now at YesMyWine as Business Development Director.

At the online business I learned all about wine so it helps me to understand the client’s needs and do my job more effectively.

I majored in economics at university and received an associate degree in economics.

My interests include swimming, window shopping, and spending time with my son. My friends always say I am a funny and positive person and I think working gives me energy and happiness in my life so I always work very hard to enjoy my job and feel fulfilled.
