"Communication and Interpersonal skills"
Through the hard work and continuous learning during my first year in college, I could finally transfer to my dream department of accounting. After that, I decided to proactively took participation in various kinds of activities in order to cultivate some important leadership skills. I joined the Student Association Committee and served as a General Affairs Officer in our department. The committee is the main place that students plan and hold all sorts of activities such as the Student Congress, the Accounting Weekly, Alumni activities and so on. With hands-on experience of conducting teams while constructing positive working environments, these training helped further my communication skills and public relations because we had to deal with lots of issues related to both students and professors, as well as administrators.
The College of Commerce at National Chengchi University is highly regarded nationally and internationally as the best business school in Taiwan. This is because the program aims to strength the managerial competencies of students to deal with greater competitions in the global marketplace. Our school puts heavy emphasis on not only academic theories but also practice. Starting from 2008, the department began to offer courses such as Management Classes based on Harvard Business Case Studies. Besides, over 90% of the courses in our college require students to form a team and accomplish some group projects to train them with leadership potential and interpersonal skills. Through the precious opportunities that my school gave me, I learned how to organize a team by coping with complex issues with team members.
During my senior year, I faced a tough dilemma, which challenged what I did learn from my college years. The Student Association Committee was assigned to hold the "Cross-Strait Accounting International Conference" which is an annual conference for academic exchanges and discussions between Taiwan and mainland China. However, only three days after the conference, my team members and I had to submit the final report of our group term paper in advanced accounting. It was very hard to have one's cake and eat it, but I devised a plan to solve the conflict. As a group leader, I arranged the time efficiently and set fixed schedule for weekly meeting. I communicated with the crew and properly divided the members into small groups, each with different tasks. Some people were responsible for figuring out the problems related the conference; others focused on the group project. On the weekly meeting, we could discuss the problems and come up with smart solutions together. Everything worked out in the end. We successfully managed to hold the conference while finishing our project in time. The experience demonstrated my ability to handle miscellaneous issues based on interpersonal intelligence.
