3. What would tell about me ?
I’m everywhere
On all the major Social Networks
Even on Google+
I like to write. And share
I’ve participated in many blogs
On many different topics
Such as Cooking, Gaming, China
I love communicating
I like to interact with my peers
And it’s gotten me a Klout of 56

5. Well I could tell you the boring stuff
Like my civil status
e.g. my gender
Even my age (you shouldn’t ask ) 07
March
Or the places I lived
Right now in Lille (that’s in France)
And before that, many many places
Both in France and China
… but you could find all that on

6. Working

8. That was a unique opportunity of mixing
fun and work
I was playing video games
And not only playing
I was actually producing them
And had to do business as well
By dealing partnerships with leading Asian distributors
Such a Papaya, for distributing games for Android in China

9. Why did I leave ?
I want to fulfill my dreams
And that means working in Asia
More specifically in a Chinese-speaking country
Like China, Taiwan or Singapore, for example

10. Before that, I worked 3 years for
and learnt loads of new skills

11. First as a SMB Marketing Assistant
That was an internship
Actually, it was part of a sandwich course
The rhythm was really great: 2 weeks working for Microsoft, then going back to school for one week
I had to manage our day-to-day campaigns
My first mission was to manage a cash-back campaign aimed at medium businesses
I was even part of the Windows 7 launch team
And my biggest project was the Ingram Showcase
That’s the biggest reseller-aimed IT event in France
My role was to coordinate all the team working on this project
And we did great!! Our booth was elected second best booth of all the fair

12. Then as a Licensing Sales Specialist
That was my very first job
I’m now an expert on Microsoft Licensing
And when you know how complicated it is, that’s an achievement
I even obtained an official certification
It is a sales assistant job
Ensuring the Account Manager were selling the right contracts
And guaranteeing a maximum attach rate for our key products
And an international part
It was called “International Allocation Management”
Basically, I had to negotiate with Microsoft subsidiaries, to ensure the right downstream coverage
It was only aimed at specific, global (worldwide) contracts.

13. And finally as a Community Manager
But not as you might think
I was not on Facebook 24/7
Nor was I moderating forums and newsgroups
It was a “people” job
I had to form friendly-yet-professional bonds
With both people who loved and hated us
In order to broadcast our messages
And together tell a compelling story
I learnt the art of speaking
I was the voice of Microsoft during tech events
The biggest of those events was the Microsoft TechDays (17 000 attendees)

14. But before that, I did an internship
In an international NGO
Plan International is a fostering NGO
It helps children all around the third world
I worked in webmarketing
I launched two websites for the association
I implemented the subscribers’ newsletter
I even built their whole presence on Facebook
I discovered adwords
We were offered a complimentary budget
I had to optimize our keywords bidding

16. They praise me better than I do

22. I stayed there 3 years
Learning the basics
Full time at school for the first year
Learning the basics in economy, law, finance…
In an exchange program
The first semester in China
I worked as a translator for the 2008 Olympics
And the second semester back in Grenoble
And a sandwich course
1 week every 3 weeks at school
The rest of the time at Microsoft

24. That’s a bit complicated ?
I got it covered
VIP International Plan International
Import-Export Assistant Webmarketing Assistant
Beijing 2008 Olympics
Translator for the french wrestling team

26. I practice my wrestling
I used to teach it
I was training a team of schoolgirls
They made it to the regional championship
I made it to the Nationals
I ended up 5th in the French Championship
It was in 2005
And trained abroad
My team organized many exchange programs
The most interesting were in Serbia and China

27. I read. A lot.

28. I write. A little.
I have two blogs. And two Tumblogs
They’re mostly about China. And also gaming and cooking.
Two are written in English, one in Chinese, and one in French.
I love writing actual letters
It reminds me how to use a pen, instead of a keyboard.
And knowing I’m fine keeps my friends and family happy.

29. I watch loads of TV Shows and movies
From Bollywood to Wisteria Lane.
In Chinese, English, French or Hindi
Animation
Real TV

30. I sing. Badly.

33. You’re a global company
Not necessarily a big one
I enjoyed working in big corporations
But my teams always kept a “startup” spirit
With multicultural teams
亞
I was in one at Microsoft, this is an experience I want to live again
It keeps your mind open to new strategies and approaches
And you’re located in Asia
Moving to Asia is an adventure
And I’ve been planning that for ages

34. You’re a brand I would be proud of
You gotta believe in what you’re doing
You value innovation
I believe innovation really is the key to success
Actually my Master’s term paper dealt with innovation for SMBs
You’re a technology company
亞
I’ve always loved technology, and couldn’t work anywhere else
Besides, tech companies are renowned for setting trends
And working for you is fun
As work and play are not always exclusive
Really, my motto is “work hard, play hard”

35. Got the feeling I would feel
at home in your company ?
