Summary
In my first year of university, I co-founded our brand, NoodleFans with my partner. We opening our first branch in Chinatown. During the COVID-19, I successfully negotiated with delivery platforms to reduce their commission fees and created and managed our Instagram account, significantly increasing online sales and delivery orders to navigate through the tough times. Subsequently, we opened branches in Hillside Centre and Mayfair Mall, and we successfully sold the Chinatown branch in 2022 and the Mayfair branch in 2024 at prices higher than our initial costs.
While running my own business, I also served as a sales representative at Newmate Auto on Vancouver Island, primarily responsible for client engagement, vehicle acquisition, and used car sales.
I aim to enter the banking industry because my assets are invested in various fields, and I believe that investment is essential for success. Through the US stock market, I discovered how importance of financial knowledge. This has fueled my passion for the finance industry. I want to learn more about finance, and I believe that working in a bank will be a crucial step towards achieving this goal.
