American teacher find full time position in Chongqing

SUMMARY

I'm a full-time audio book narrator and voice over artist with 36 completed audio books. Before transitioning from the corporate world I spent over twenty years in institutional investment wholesaling industry. I have 24 years of experience in national and regional business-to-business sales, sales management, corporate level training, marketing, operations management, budgeting, and wholesaling. Accustomed to successfully operating within multiple channels of distribution and producing multi-million dollar results. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated the ability to maintain outstanding customer relations as well as building new sales opportunities in an extremely competitive environment. How does this translate to teaching in China? My corporate job required me to train investment professionals on how to manage portfolios and how to sell the products I represented. This job required group training sessions and one-on-one meetings throughout the week. It also required building and maintaing business relationships. Teaching requires the same skills that I already possess. 1. The ability to teach concepts and ideas at very basics levels. 2. The ability to build rapport quickly with anyone that I meet. Last, I spent three weeks in Chongqing in February of 2018 and I'm familiar with the city. I have been studying Mandarin for about three years, but admittedly after visiting Chongqing I realize I need more lessons in Chinese:)
