My name is Luqiang, you can call me John if you wish.

I'm from GZ, the southernmost point of JX province, well-known for its "Hakka Culture".

I'm not a student, I have been graduated for 7  years and current I'm working for a company that develops and manufactures video security devices. I'm a software engineer.

I hav a job. I'm working for ... (同上).

Well, [as I have mentioned just now,] I'm a software engineer, and I think I'm really cut out for this job. First I'm not a communicative person, so I'm not good at handling interpersonal releationship, programming fits me well because I only need to concentrate on the work itself. Second this is a challenging job, and I love challenges. The major drawback is that it's too demanding, you will need a lot of time, attention and energy to deal with the problems in your work, sometimes makes me feel exhuasted.

Well, I'm fully awared that I was not born to be a good manager, so from the very early time I have decided to embark on a career as a developer. My short term goal is to pass this exam and get the certificate, my long term goal is to join a big company, maybe a multinational company, to work in software developing. Being an expert in my industry is my career goal.

Well, for me I best enjoy working with driven individuals, people who are positive, energetic, and take accountability for their work. These characteristics can ensure that we can fully corporate with each other and make the best out of the team.

Well, I like working in a team, for efficiency consideration. As the saying goes, two heads are better than one, I can use my teammates' help in case I'm in trouble.

In fact it has been widely proved that teamwork is more effective than individual in my industry.

Well, first, communication skills, this is the most basic skill for managers. A good manager must be able to communicate effectively with other employees. Second, the ability to delegate well, that means when delegating managers should take both the tasks and the employees' personal characteristics and skills into consideration, and make sure the employees are well informed of what they should do.

I think it's self-learning. Techonlogy changes rapidly in software industry, new practices and frameworks are being created everyday, you will need a good self-learning skill to cope with the development of software industry.

My buying habit has changed a lot due to Internet. Back to the old days I used to go out for shopping and pay in cash, but now I buy almost everything online, it's much more convenient cause I can pay online and wait the delivery to be deliveried by the next day. also I got more choices when shopping.

Well there are many factors that can be taken into consideration. First, salary and benefits, competitive salary and generous benefits are always key factors that keep employess away from job-hopping. Second, communication, communicate expections with employees and receive their feedback, this will make them feel being valued. Last but not the least, set up a clear career development path for the employees, so everyone will know there is a good outlook waiting for them.

Well, there is no enforced dress code in my workplace, so we are free to choose what to wear. Some people like to wear formal suit, but for me I just prefer caual dress.

Well, I believe when selecting applicants for a job or employees for promotion, these factors should be taken into consideration. 

First, work experience,  the candidate must have related work experience or outstanding performance in his current work, this will decide whether the candidate has the qualification to take on the work and do it well. 

Second, personal qualities.  he or she should be of good manners, be dependable,  be able to cooperate fully with each other, so that the candidate can function well as part of the team and  make the best out of the it.

Last but not least, we should also refer to his or her former business achievements, cause successful people often has more pontential to success again.

Well, I believe when choosing a new supplier these factors should be taken into consideration. 

First, prices and discounts, lower prices will help us reduce cost, so we can have advantage in pricing, by a lower price we are more likely to attract new customers and secure the market.

second reputation, a well-known supplier is more likely to deliver high-quality products, cause they have been tested by the market and earned their repuation. we should always choose suppliers with a good repuation and avoid those who have disputed issues.

last, the punctuality of delivery,  punctuality means reliablity, means that we can always trust the supplier and keep things under control, on the contrary, if the supplier always miss the delivery time, we will have to spend a lot time waiting for them, thus miss the opportunity too.
