Jean-Pierre Chang

I would like to play with open cards and to use this moment to evaluate the reasons why I think I am an ideal candidate. 1. Given my 5-6 years working experiences in the banking sector (HSBC, M&A in Paris, 5 years in CS from the lower segment in PB to the highest segment), I am convinced that I possess the necessary hard skills (e.g on excel, can do attitude, results driven, resilient) that will allow me to assist you and your team members. 2. Moreover, I am confident that the interpersonal, communication and project management skills that I have acquired in my previous roles (Sales initiatives, PIC, digitalization) will enable me to support you and your team in all Business/Project management related tasks. 3. Furthermore, growing up in a family of Entrepreneurs in the banlieue of Paris, I had to help my father on weekends in the shop. It became very natural if not a leisure to assess business ventures/ideas at my early age. Evolving in this ecosphere, I am familiar with the challenges small businesses / start-ups face on a daily basis. 4. Last but not least, my language skills (English, French, Mandarin, Spanish and a conversational German) makes me an ideal team player and this person capable to assist you in building sustainable relationships. Today, I feel the potential given by this role to further develop my skills and to work in my dream job with very talented people. I am eager to play part of the continued success of your team. This is the reason why I have attached my CV for reference and I am looking forward to speaking you at your earliest convenience.
