Hello.
I’m a Korean university student studying Chinese via language course in Beijing International Studies University.
While studying in Beijing, I came to think that it’d be better for my experience/ learning if I had a chance to work as an intern here.
My original university is located in Korea, ‘Korea University’, and my major is ‘Division of International Studies’.
My second major is ‘Business’.
I am confident that I can meet your standards for being a good worker.
Because I am full of curiosity and want to continuously experience new matters, I am capable of handling whatever job is given to me, and of loving the job itself.
My sociability skills is also an area of which I consider as qualifiable.
Please give me a reply as soon as possible.
I’ll be ready to hand in my resume. Thank you.
