Dear Sir or Madame,

I have been informed that you have been looking for an interpreter plus tourist guide for a group of Canadian visitors this summer. I would be glad if you will consider me for this job.

You have required someone who has good communication skills in either English or French, who will be available between in July and August 2010, and who is familiar with the tourist sites in Beijing. You have also indicated experiences with similar jobs are preferable.

As a student who already has a bachelor degree in French and currently working for a master degree, I have a good grasp in both French and English, as indicated by my excellent test results in both languages. Whether they choose to speak English or French, our Canadian guests can rest assured that I will have no trouble communicate with them. July and August this year happen to be the time for my summer vacation. As I live in Beijing, I will be available for work any day of the week. My being a habitant of Beijing since birth has also given me the advantage of being extremely familiar with all the tourist hot spots in the city, be it Forbidden City or Silk Market. Apart from all the historical information, I can also offer interesting anecdotes that can’t be found in any tourist guide books. I would also like to say that I already had many experiences working as an interpreter plus guide. I have worked with officials of various organizations as well as foreign friends and had learned to deal with all the most common problems likely to surface. One last thing I would like you to know is that I have always enjoyed my work as an interpreter and guide, so I’m always full of energy and good humor while doing my job.

I would like to thank you for reading my letter, as well as the CV I have

Personal Statement May 7, 2010 included, I am looking forward to hear your response.

Sincerely,

Personal Statement

My name is Sun Liying. I am majoring in software engineering in Shandong University. Four-year college study awards me excellent mathematics knowledge and organized thought. Apart from my major courses, I have been crazy about attending lectures of Economy Department in my college. The effect of market and economy attracted me a lot. Therefore, I completed macroeconomics, microeconomics and accounting in my sophomore year. In addition, my father is taking managing position in an entrepreneur. Accordingly, I have been interested in business courses and I decide to take financial related courses, especially Actuarial Studies as the direction of my master’s study.

I have been interested in numbers since I was a high school student. I felt satisfied even though I had to contribute more than one hour to solve a mathematic problem. I often spent time to think about other methods to solve mathematic problems that my teacher had provided answers. My enthusiasm about mathematics was inspired again when I began my college study. I took some basic mathematics concepts, such as limit, series, calculus and differential coefficient. I also learned some basic theories and the application of related concepts, such as differential coefficient of function of one variable, calculus, partial derivative of function of many variables, differential equation, and Taylor's formula, intermediate value theorem and infinite series which help me to know the nature of function, and the independent vector algebra and space analytic geometry. To be honest, I even made more efforts in the study of mathematics than that in my academic courses. Therefore, I believe that my mathematics achievements are pretty competitive in pursuing Master of Actuarial Studies.

I took multi-directed development when I was in college since I believe that enhancing my learning and surviving ability accounts even more than receiving academic knowledge. Therefore, I chose my favorite lectures from other departments

to explore my interest. Moreover, the experience of organizing art activities in my college developed my communicating ability and teamwork idea. With my adaptive ability increasing, my academic results in last two years showed a dramatic improvement than that in the first year. Last year, our teams stood out in the program internship with the establishment of portal website of Commercial Bureau for Langchao Electronic Industry Group Corp.

The visit to Taiwan for half semester inspired me going abroad. As an exchanged student, I learned being independent and treasuring. I was aware of communication ability, independence and international viewpoint worth more than academic degree. I was convinced studying abroad would be a turning point in my life. In addition, I am a typical optimist with adventurous mind. I prefer finding my interest in the process of pursing new goals. In the meanwhile, I can find my shortcomings and improving solution as well. It is worthy to have a try in spite of unpredictable future and unfavorable factors, such as being far from my family.

I used to be a professional swimmer in middle school. I left behind in my academic courses because of regular training. In order to entry a better university, I focused on my study and gained a satisfied result. Therefore, I could make a great achievement successfully only if I contribute more efforts to my deed than others. Therefore, I am fully convinced that I am able to complete my master’s degree in actuarial studies with qualified result and to get related certificates if possible through my hardworking and perseverance though I have an engineering background.
