尊敬的各位考官、各位评委老师: 通过考试,今天,我以本岗位笔试第*的成绩进入了面试。对我来说,这次工作机会显得尤为珍贵。

我叫xxx,今年x岁。****年7月我从**学院**系毕业。由于**原因,使我与“太阳底下最光辉的职业”失之交臂。幸好,当时***(原因),经人介绍,我在***单位有了**的工作经历。回想起那段时光真是既甜蜜又美好,虽然工资很低,但听着别人对我工作的赞美,看着那一双双充满信任的眼睛,我心里充满报幸福与甜蜜。我原想,即使不能转正,只要单位需要,就是当一辈子临时工我也心甘情愿。

今天,我想通过此次考试重新走上工作岗位的愿望是那样迫切!我家共有三姊妹,两个姐姐在外打工,为了照顾已上了年纪的父母,我一直留在他们身边。我曾开过铺子,先是经营工艺品,后又经营服装。但不论生意做得如何得心应手,当一名银行职员终是我心向往之并愿倾尽毕生心血去追求的事业。我曾多次参加考试,但都由于各种原因而未能实现梦想,但我暗下决心,只要有机会,我就一直考下去,直到理想实现为止。

如今的我,历经生活的考验,比起我的竞争对手在年龄上我已不再有优势,但是我比他们更多了一份对工作的责任心、耐心和对单位的诚心,更多了一份成熟和自信。银行职员这个职业是神圣而伟大的,他要求我不仅要有丰富的专业知识,还要有高尚的情操。因此,在书时,我就十分注重自身的全面发展,广泛地培养自己的兴趣爱好,并学有专长,做到有专业和专长(历数自己的专长),还能会唱、会说、会讲。在注重知识学习的同时我还注意培养自己高尚的道德情操,自觉遵纪守法,遵守社会公德和职业道德,没有不良嗜好和行为。我想这些都是一名金融工作者应该具备的最起码的素养。

假如,我通过了面试,成为众多银行职员队伍中的成员,我将不断努力学习,努力工作,为家乡的教育事业贡献自己的力量,决不辜负银行工作者这一职业。

尊敬的各位面试官、各位评委老师:通过考试,今天,我以本岗位笔试第一的成绩进入了面试。对我来说,这次机会显得尤为珍贵。

我叫***,今年xx岁。xx年7月我从**师范学校艺师美术专业计划内自费毕业。由于从97年起国家不再对自费生包分配,使我与“太阳底下最光辉的职业”失之交臂。幸好,当时河西马厂完小师资不足,经人介绍,我在该完小担任了一年的临时代课教师

回想起那段时光真是既甜蜜又美好,虽然代课工资很低,但听着同学们围在身旁“老师”、“老师”的叫个不停,看着那一双双充满信任的眼睛,那一张张稚气的小脸,生活中的所有不快都顿时烟消云散了。我原想,即使不能转正,只要学校需要,就是当一辈子代课教师我也心甘情愿。不料,xx年起国家开始清退临时工和代课教师,接到了学校的口头通知后,我怀着恋恋不舍的心情,悄悄地离开了学校。

今天,我想通过此次考试重新走上讲坛的愿望是那样迫切!我家共有三姊妹,两个姐姐在外打工,为了照顾已上了年纪的父母,我一直留在他们身边。我曾开过铺子,先是经营工艺品,后又经营服装。但不论生意做得如何得心应手,当一名光荣的人民教师始终是我心向往之并愿倾尽毕生心血去追求的事业。我曾多次参加考试,但都由于各种原因而未能实现梦想,但我暗下决心,只要有机会,我就一直考下去,直到理想实现为止。

如今的我,历经生活的考验,比起我的竞争对手在年龄上我已不再有优势,但是我比他们更多了一份对孩子的爱心、耐心和责任心,更多了一份成熟和自信。

教师这个职业是神圣而伟大的,他要求教师不仅要有丰富的知识,还要有高尚的情操。因此,在读师范时,我就十分注重自身的全面发展,广泛地培养自己的兴趣爱好,并学有专长,做到除擅长绘画和书法外,还能会唱、会说、会讲。“学高仅能为师,身正方能为范”,在注重知识学习的同时我还注意培养自己高尚的道德情操,自觉遵纪守法,遵守社会公德,没有不良嗜好和行为。我想这些都是一名教育工作者应该具备的最起码的素养。

假如,我通过了面试,成为众多教师队伍中的成员,我将不断努力学习,努力工作,为家乡的教育事业贡献自己的力量,决不辜负“人类灵魂的工程师”这个光荣的称号。

Nowadays, a lot of recreational activities are available for people to release their stress of work or study. Recreational activities have aroused a hot debate in society. When it comes to recreational activities, people’s ideas are not cut from the same cloth.

Abundant recreational activities make people’s life more colorful and people can release their stress with amusement. Also, participating in recreational activities helps promote our competence. However, too much recreational activities will bring problems. For instance, many young students are addicted to online games, which will generate bad effects on their studies and might lead bad consequences.

In my opinion, we should keep a balance between amusement and study or work. Of course, we should join some recreational activities after study, but we need arrange our time properly. Only in this way can recreational activities provide more benefits for us.

I was born in a small village of Shan Dong Province on April 4th, 1968. When I was young, my family was very poor, so I had to work to earn money to help my parents after class when I was in the middle school.

In 1986 I was admitted by University of International Business and Economics (or: UIBE) to pursue a bachelor degree in Economics. My major is accounting in Department of International Business Management. The undergraduate education gave me a wide range of vision and taught me how to cooperate with others. I developed several professional interests in Accounting, Finance, and International Trade.

The following eight-year working experience offered me a good chance to give full play to my creativity, intelligence and diligence. In 1990-1993, I worked as an assistant to funding manager in China National Technical Import and Export Corporation. In 1993-present, I was employed by China Kingdom Import and Export Corporation to be the Manger of Financial and Accounting Division.

I do believe that with my hard early life, solid educational background and ample working experience, I would be an excellent student of you MBA program.

MY PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT: After graduating from UIBE, I was employed as the assistant to the funding manager by China National Technical Import and Export Corporation. After reading a lot of related files, and analyzing the overall funding situation of the corporation, I found that the loan policy was not been put into effect. So we have thousands of millions RMB loan with very high interest rate while a large amount of cash in bank with very low interest rate was idle. I reported this to my supervisor, and then we studied and revised the loan policy. This revision saved the corporation approximately RMB thirty millions yuan. In order to raise the funding effectiveness, after one year’s hard work, I developed the internal banking system within the corporation based on the actual funding supply and need of the different divisions and projects. This internal banking system made full use of the corporation’ funding resources, and due to this, I was highly praised by the president of the corporation.

WHY CHOOSE YOUR MBA PROGRAM? After I have worked in business area for eight years, I feel that I need to continue my education by pursuing a Master degree in business administration. I have practiced my professional expertise in accounting, demonstrated my leadership abilities and perfected my communication skills. But I have yet to become an entrepreneur in my own right, and to fully master the art of modern business. I want to be trained more vigorously in scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. There are a lot of opportunities and challenges in China that I do not yet fell fully confident to seize. My business career has so far benefited mostly the companies that I worked for, but a good business education in your university will probably become a new era for me.

Your university is well known for its excellence in China’s business education. I am sure that, with my extensive business experience, I can be a worthy student of yours. I am anxious to benefit from your seasoned guidance and take advantage of your research facilities.

I am 25 years old and I am local. (I live locally sounds better) I am seeking an opportunity to work with XXX as Sales. (IN sales or As a Sales representative/whatever)。My professional experience and my awareness of your unparalleled reputation have led me to want to work for your company.

I have a bachelor degree with a major in Mechanical and Electrical field.(pause) Graduated from the XXX university in 20xx. Over the past three years, I have worked with XXX Co.,Ltd as Sales (again, in sales or as a sales man/person/rep?) who responsible (with responsibility mainly) for the market of Hunan. During this period, I have learnt much. I learned the values of teamwork and commitment, how to win, how to work hard, how to concentrate and focus on goals, and how to balance my time and priorities. Additional experience in other fields such as graduation practice in factory and commercial negotiation also reinforces my value to your company.

Because being offhand in advance, let’s leave it at that. (This sentence makes no sense. ’Being offhand’ means to be rude, inconsiderate, ill-mannered so I don’t think that is whay you mean! In advance of what? ’Let’s leave it at that’ is a command, it sounds rather abrupt and ill-mannered to me, again I don’t think this is what you meant. How about ’I would love to join your company and you would not regret giving me this opportunity.’ and just finish with a smile!)

篇20:介绍七夕的英语作文

全文共 2787 字

The Double Seventh Festival on the 7th day of the 7th lunarmonth is a traditional festival full of romance. It often goes into August in the Gregorian calendar.

This festival is in mid-summer when the weather is warm and the grass and trees reveal their luxuriousgreens. At night when the sky is dotted with stars and people can see the Milky Way spanning from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star which see each other from afar. They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.

Long long ago there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang (Cowhand). His parents died when he was a child. Later he was driven out of his home by his sister-in-law. So he lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day a fairy from heaven Zhi Nu (Weaver Maid) fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. The cowhandfarmed in the field and the Weaver Maid wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back.

With the help of celestial cattle the Cowhand flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowyriver appeared in front of the Cowhand. The Cowhand and Weaver Maid were separated on the two banks forever and could only feel their tears. Their loyaltyto love touched magpies so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Cowhand and Weaver Maid to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting date has been called "Qi Xi" (Double Seventh).

Scholars have shown the Double Seventh Festival originated from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD220). Historical documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD371-420) mention the festival while records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depict the grand evening banquetof Emperor Taizong and his concubines. By the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties special articles for the "Qi Xi" were seen being sold on markets in the capital. The bustling markets demonstrated the significance of the festival.

Today some traditional customs are still observed in ruralareas of China but have been weakened or diluted in urban cities. However the legend of the Cowhand and Weaver Maidhas taken root in the hearts of the people. In recent years in particular urban youths have celebrated it as Valentines Day in China. As a result owners of flower shops bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.
