cause/effect

Why did you choose your major or career? I choose to be an ESL instructor for several reasons. I was involved in training and education in another field unrelated to ESL. I wanted to join my interest in teaching with my interest in international studies which was my major in college. My husband and I were living in Puerto Rico at the time, and we were going to be moving to South America. I realized that teaching ESL to adults was the perfect combination of my interests and skills. I love my job!

Although I used the Japanese for most of the time, but still have to deal with other customers from all of the world. I found out that my English is not good enough for the business field, therefore, I decided to came here to enhance the ability of the language.

I have worked in the real estate area for a half year in Beijing, China. I really loved and enjoyed that job at the time. I am going to do this job continuously. There are several reasons why I choose a real estate as my career.
First, my major in college was the urban management and regional economics. During my undergraduate working, I learned about urban planning and real estates. My graduation thesis was also about real estate policies of government. My major in college made me understand the real estates area more.
Second, I am a only one who studied urban management and real estate in China as a foreigner as undergraduate major. Indeed, my class-mates and I were first graduates of our major in China. According to the vast scale of urbanization in China, I believe our potetialities will get other's attentions more, in particular, from relevant companies and academic areas.
Finally, I really love every kinds of buildings, such as houses, hotels, high-ends offices and retails. When I worked, I really enjoyed studying other famous real estate project which was successful.

After I had finished my undergraduate study and earned economics bachelor degree in this July, I came to U.S in order to get a Master degree in two years. My major is international business. There are two main reasons results in my choice. Firstly, I am interested in business field. I think my father affects me. He is a dealer who agent American brand products and sell them to some Asian countries. He often teaches me about business knowledge such as management and negotiation. When I was a junior student, I use to do some business such as sell the gift card and get sponsorship for the activities of my department in university. I can not forget how excited I was when I earned the first pot of gold from selling the gift card of the pizza hut. Secondly, after the financial crisis, the policy of insist on expanding domestic demands contribute to the Chinese economic growth. I believe this is not only challenge for the export business but the opportunities for import business. The Shanghai expo in 2010 also can provide more opportunities for my profession. Above all, the interests and the opportunities is the cause of my choice.

I was worked the Embedded System software engineer. Because I just want to be the real engineer. Actually, some engineers don’t have a development work. Their job is just management or supervision. Of course, management is important. However, in my opinion, development or research is the most important job then management. The development & research is very hard job. I always worked lately, and even I didn’t go to vacation. However, when the project was finished, the achievement is really great. Especially, when my products are showing on the store, my feeling is getting more awesome. Therefore, I love my job.

My first bachelor degree was majoring in multimedia and I am going to study a secondary bachelor degree in fine art. I decided to study in an undergraduate program again mainly because I believe that creativeness is based on knowledge. I believe I have to build up my foundational knowledge before I can create my own works. My previous undergraduate program focused on technical issues instead of theories. Besides, I am interested in traditional art very much. I hope I can create some art works which can fusion new media art with traditional art in the future.u

Before I came the U.S, I have worked at internet advertising agency in Tokyo. I have worked as Planning and Sales for 4 years, then as Human Resource Manager for 1.5 years. The first job had told me how to make an advertisement plan by using internet media, and how to decide adverting message and sales target. The second job also told me how to make an advertisement for University students, and how to edit in-house magazine. Both jobs were very interesting for me, and I was really enjoyed my work. They helped me to have more interest in creative job such as drawing and designing related. Thus, I decide to focus to drawing and designing as my job. In addition, as we know, California has many advanced companies such as Google, Apple, and other IT companies. So I think I can get novel opinion and idea through learning in this area. These are the reason why I choose my career.
