Working overtime or extra hours will not be a problem for me, because I used to work 10 hours per day and to work overtime to finish some special tasks in my previous job. Sometimes, I spent my personal time on resolving some potential risks and problems that I found.
2. How eager are you to keep on learning to stay ahead of the curve?
I am more than happy to learn in the work place because I value the process of continuous improvement.

14. How eager are you to keep on learning to stay ahead of the curve?
I am more than happy to learn in the work place because I value the process of continuous improvement. As long as I was instructed to handle something new in my previous job, I felt excited and satisfied. The double-loop learning process benefits me from applying new knowledge and techniques to work-related areas and self-reflecting the aspects that I can improve. In addition, I am actively pursuing academic success outside work place. For example, I am the youngest CMA candidate in my CMA session.
15. Can you deal with the income volatility that you will be facing during the first few months?
I have no financial problem preventing me from accepting a job if the income is low at the beginning. I worked as a no pay intern during the first two months in my previous job. Since I am still young, I never put salary as the top priority in searching for a job. The thing I concern more is whether this job can help me to develop my competitive edge or not.
