Where there is a will, there is a way
In 2007, I was a fresh graduate stepping in society and without too much reflection on my future career development. My first job was being a management trainee of a SOE industry group, and then being the secretary of the industry group.
In 2009, after two years since my graduation, I joined a privately-operated equipment manufacturing enterprise. There, I worked for four years, getting promoted from the Assistant Manager of the Marketing Department to its Human Resources Manager and finally to the Associate Human Resources Director of the company.
In 2013, I walked out of my comfort zone to be the HRD of a pharmaceutical company, which enabled me to enter the all-around human resources management from the previous supporting role in different segments of human resources management. Facing the booming emerging industries, I can clearly see my own advantages and disadvantages, and can predict the future development direction in advance and take every step more firmly.
Three years later, I started a new job in Koubei company (an internet service platform about local life) belonging to Ant Group.What impressed and influenced me was the time working in that internet company, as I was able to see the culture and management about top Chinese enterprises for the first time in a real sense. And I experienced the rapid changes of Internet industry and the running transformation of the organization in more than two years, which shaped my character with strong will and perseverance in daily work. In 2018, when I saw the rapid development trend of the future education industry, I once again choose to work in a whole new field and join New Oriental Education Technology Group as the human resources director of Wuhan school. Through the accumulated human resources management experience over the past years, I helped the school realize the fast transformation of the strategy-based on organization from traditional mode in the past.
