Because of my extensive hobbits, I got lots of friends, and I am found of communicating with them, Because that I had always been the chief organizer in my four years’ college life when our department hold evening parties or basketball competition season, my classmates consider me a good leader.

I am interest in international trade and marketing, I always read books about them in my off hours. I am very concerned about the development of the world economy and really learned the history of some world-famous enterprises, Wallmart, Coca-cola, Panasonic, for instance. Meanwhile, I always keep trace of the changes on the national economical policies, such as the increased value in the exchange rates between RMB and US Dollars and its effects on the national economy, recently released measurements on the stabilization of the national real estate prices and its effects on the national real estate market trends.

Through all the years' professional study and avocation, I realized that the industry is indeed the foundation of a nation's economic development. Having macros copied the top-3 most developed counties: the U.S.A, Japan, Germany, we can see that all of them are owning the strongest industry as the basis of their economic development. They are on the lead on most of the high-tech in the field of industry that can be observed in the products and the related techniques around our lives. The developed counties not only have the fist-class professional research level, organizational construction and the selling conception, but also the top-advanced management experiences of the teamwork. I have been thinking about to attain an opportunity to work with such a caring company.

I know that Ameron International Corporation is a multinational manufacturer of highly-engineered products and materials for the chemical, industrial, energy, transportation and infrastructure markets. Traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and Ameron is a leading producer of water transmission lines; high-performance coatings and finishes for the protection of metals and structures; fiberglass-composite pipe for transporting oil, chemicals and corrosive fluids and specialized materials and products used in infrastructure projects.

I desire for this job especially. Certainly that I’ll try all my best to achieve all the goals if you give me a chance! Thank you for your consideration!
