Benoit CLÉMENT

I have a career that gave me a very substantial and varied experience in China where I have been living in very different cities for more than 7 years. During this period, I have been completely immersed in Chinese society. All my experiences have been very successful since I always try to reach the best of me in what I do. People around me have always appreciated me as I am someone very easy to get along with, I still keep in contact with most of them.

I have been living in Shenzhen for the past year. I’ve been working as a Production/Project Manager, in a company that takes care of sourcing, production and exportation of furniture and decorations for shops, hotels, restaurants, etc. This experience has been very interesting and has allowed me to put in action the skills I have learned during my self-training. This job has also permitted me to work in an international company and environment both in China and Hong Kong. In order to reach the next level in my career, I would like to apply for a job in management.
In addition to my job, for the past two years, I have been spending a lot of my spare time studying trade and management (with a great interest for the Total Quality Management and the PDCA). I have also developed an interest for several others subjects such as negotiation, transactional analysis, project management, purchase, marketing and public international law.
I believe I would be a suitable candidate to join your team and help your company achieve a better efficiency.
Among my strengths you will find:
- Strong knowledge in intercultural management (fluent practice of Chinese, and understanding of the habits),
- Versatile and specialized,
- Love challenges, self-investment of 110% but without careerism
- Observer and organized (able to deal with an issue without being focused on it),
- Objective (able to identify, analyze and solve problems),
- Persuasive and hardworking (I seek the working performance and quality for the company),
- Very good listener, also creative, inspire confidence,
- Enthusiasm and empathy (a positive attitude is communicative and vector of building relationship),
- Integrity and respect to the pledged word,
- Great capacity of adaptability, sense of analysis and fast learner (as independent/autonomous and as subordinate),
- Mobile (able to travel all over China, or worldwide if needed).
In addition to all of the above features, I have been a very good mediator with a good experience and comprehension of the intercultural dimension in Chinese society for a long time. I believe I can bring to your company a competitive benefit that would make a difference in management, internal and external communication and quality.
