Summary

Equipped with a strong logical and analytical mind, I think I am very well-suited for this job even though I do not have any previous related work experiences. I am a fast learner and I do have a strong inclination towards work of investigative nature. I have always find myself meticulous and being able to pick details that many will miss out.

I am able to communicate well in both English and Chinese languages, able to read both English and Chinese texts and write well in English.

My former days in the education and sales industries had taught me much about human psychology. This will certainly aid me in this job when it comes to interacting with the subjects.

I have always believe strongly that everything has to be done in a fair and just way and I hope to achieve more of that through this job.
