  Aplus Planing & Production Co., Ltd

  Feb 2009 - Nov 2009

  Marketing Executive

  At the beginning of the time when I graduated and came back to Taiwan, I worked in the advertising company as the marketing executive. At that time our company won its bid for Taiwan Life 2009 Summit which the venue was held in Gold Coast, Australia. Because of familiarity with the location and the ability of English, I was appointed as the core executive to this event. It was not only simply take customers to fly to Australia but most importantly gathered Taiwan and Australia’s video and radio equipment suppliers, performers, travel agency and Conrad Jupiters Hotel staffs to accomplish this grand occasion altogether. For 4 months of preparation and rehearsed, again and again, I was responsible for executing and spoke bilingually to both Taiwan and Australia staffs on-site at the evening party. After experiencing this time pressure and tough mission, I made myself more independently, better problem-solving and enhanced communication ability to cross countries. Show less
