Work History

Human Resources Assistant

Chongqing Geology and mineral exploration and Development Group Co., LTD
Chongqing, China
09.2021 - 08.2023

When I joined the headquarters of Chongqing Geology and Mineral Exploration and Development Group Co., LTD, a state-owned mining company, it was undergoing a major restructuring. This process required the reallocation of staff and the introduction of new roles and responsibilities that affected over 2000 employees. I was tasked with ensuring clear communication about the restructuring, addressing employee concerns, and updating HR documentation. My solutions focused on establishing communication channels and employee support. Eventually, employee satisfaction surveys showed a 30% increase in confidence regarding the restructuring process. Meanwhile, restructuring was completed on schedule with minimal disruption, achieving a 95% employee retention rate. Here were my specific solutions:

  • Developed Communication Channels: Organized 10 informational meetings attended by over 150 employees each.
    Set up an anonymous email hotline, receiving and addressing over 200 employee queries.
    Created and distributed FAQs and informational packets to all 2000+ employees.
  • Facilitated Feedback: Conducted 5 focus groups, each with 20 employees, to gather feedback.
    Relayed feedback to management, resulting in 15 policy adjustments.
    Met personally with over 50 affected employees to offer support.

Instructor (Tourism)

Chongqing Business Vocational College
Chongqing, China
03.2014 - 11.2017

During my tenure at Chongqing Business Vocational College, I successfully led a group of students who initially had the lowest academic performance in their grade. These students faced significant hurdles in securing internships and future employment opportunities due to their academic standings. By implementing my tailored strategies, I guided this group to achieve a significant increase in internship placements and subsequent employment rates. (with 80% of students securing full-time employment after their internship). Specifically, I devoted myself to the following strategies:

  • Conducted bi-weekly progress meetings with each student, resulting in more active communication engagement.
  • Developed personalized career plans for 20 students (the whole class), leading to a 28% improvement in internship application success rates.
  • Managed teaching responsibilities while securing internships for my students by actively cultivating relationships with tourism industry professionals and local businesses, achieving a 90% placement rate within targeted industries.
  • Conducted rigorous assessments of internship performance throughout the process by regular check-ins and record-keeping

Journalist

Faculty of Law and Politics, Beijing Normal University
Zhuhai, Alberta
09.2010 - 06.2014

From 2010 to 2014, I joined the periodical zine owned by Beijing Normal University's Faculty of Law and Politics when it struggled to gain popularity on campus. We needed to accurately identify and cater to the diverse interests of our readers while aligning with the campus's cultural trends. As a literature enthusiast and a newcomer to the team, I recognized an opportunity to revitalize the zine's impact.

  • Firstly, we conducted surveys and interviews to understand student interests and campus cultural dynamics.
  • Then, I led a team of 8 to overhaul the zine's layout and content, introducing sections on current affairs, student life, and even dating ads.
  • Realized that staying updated on campus events and social media to reflect emerging cultural interests in the zine is vital, I continuously work closely with student clubs and faculty to gather feedback and improve content relevance.

Still our zine was free, yet by 2012 we did make the zine as a respected platform for campus discourse and cultural expression, for we had 50% increase in submission within the first semester in 2012.
