墨香依然-InkHouse

网申中比较让人头痛的一项是开放性问题(Open Questions，简称OQ)，毕马威(KPMG)会计师事务所2010年校园招聘的网申OQ就颇具代表性。为了回答好毕马威的OQ，我当时花费了大半天的功夫。拿出来凭吊一下。

Question1 -Please give a brief summary of your current recreational and leisure activities, including sports and hobbies.
 
Talking about recreational activities, I do regular aerobic exercises like jogging, swimming and brisk walking. Not only are these exercises helpful for maintaining my body slim but also they cultivate the spirit of volition and persistence. In addition, I really enjoy reading some business-related newspapers and magazines at spare time, such as The Economic Observer and CBN Weekly, which extend my understanding of the world of business.
 
Question2 -What clubs and societies are you a member of and in what capacity?
 
I have been a Senior Fellow at Young Volunteers Association of DUT since sophomore year of college. Soon after joining the association, I participated in a one-year program named “Encouragement with Love” as a volunteer teacher in Miaoling Primary School of Ganjingzi District where many of the pupils are children of migrants. With all my heart and effort, I succeeded in improving the academic performance of those with a weak foundation after two semesters. During this period I developed my patience and leant how to be committed to our communities.
 
The opportunity of volunteering for 2008 CHINAOCS International Talents Fair was another valuable experience for me. I organized and participated in a group of volunteers dedicated for area arrangement, stage decoration and guest guidance. The performance of our team received a favorable review from the sponsor and in the process I strengthened my cooperation, leadership, organization and communication skills.
 
Question3 -What factors have influenced your career choice?
 
At the very beginning, I was impressed by a book called Chasing Daylight written by Eugene O'Kelly, a former CEO of KPMG, which recounts how he played out the final parts of a life cut short. From then on, I knew KPMG and the Big Four accounting firms, which led to my interest in the accountancy and professional services firms, and I began to spend time in collecting relevant information as much as possible about this industry.
 
For auditors, having the ability to put people at ease and understanding life from the auditee's perspective is an important quality. I am personally interested in dealing with people and I am confident in my capabilities to meet customer satisfaction in a professional way, particularly in the face of adversity. My part-time experience at IBM Global Delivery Center has definitely improved the people skills and the ability to deal with all types of people.
 
Auditors deal with dynamic business sectors and they have the ability to walk into an organization and within a short period of time have an instinctive knowledge of what the state of play is within that organization. They are able to build a picture of what the situation is within an organization and then translate that into what it might mean for the organization in the future. That is why the audit profession attracts me, for I am a dynamic candidate looking for a challenging work environment. Becoming an auditor can help me clarify what I want to accomplish.
