I am currently employed as a sales assistant in the chemical products division. I'm responsible mainly for issuing and receiving orders, adjusting delivery schedules and managing inventories.

I had a chance to tour factories of our clients and suppliers for the products I handle. I used to not even know what kind of products we ship out to clients. Seeing the workplaces first-hand really broadened my view on the job.

When I entered the company, my view on work was very one-sided. As I progressed through my job, my knowledge of the product and the industry increased and I was able to make use of it in my work.

Don't just do what you are required to, think for yourself and make the job go smoother -- that's the prevailing mood at the company.

The company has a very favorable work environment. The relationship between the senior staff members and their junior colleagues is very friendly, laughter at work is common. It's a workplace where you can ask anyone for advice.
