Could I talk to the manager, please? I understand you have an opening for a secretarial position.
2.
I’m a postgraduate student. Are there any opening in your company?

I received seven years of education in this field and two degrees, a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Science degree in Electronic Engineering – both from the world famous university, Harvard. I have two years of work experience in Electronic Engineering, and the honors and awards listed in my resume are a persuasive proof evidencing my achievements. In fact I have already succeeded in this field, but I hope I’ll be more successful in your company.

I understand your corporation is one of the noted international consultant corporations newly landed in China after China entered WTO, and I think I might be able to do something to help you develop business here.

It’s my duty to accomplish my work.
