After graduating from South China University of Technology in 2011, I started my career with ExxonMobil Chemical as a Sales Assistant for Specialty Elastomer Business. I’ve enjoyed a unique working experience with the company that includes challenges and learning opportunities.

From the very beginning, we are offered a systematic training program and challenging assignments at the same time. ExxonMobil spend a lot of resources on training us from fresh graduates to professionals. Colleagues are supportive in helping us to adapt to our new work environment. This positive learning and working environment allows me to operate my work with both degrees of freedom and constructive guidelines.

As a sales assistant, I worked externally with customers and internally with our sales team. It was a great opportunity to understand our business and company culture. From dealing with new business scenarios every day, I benefit from solving various tough problems. With this experience, I continuously gained and improved knowledge about our products, technology and market. Additionally, I developed a network with different functions, which enabled me to work more effectively in my sales assistant job and future assignments.

This year in May, I was given an opportunity to complete a project of market assessment in the United States. I received many advices on both project and culture from my US colleagues during these 5 weeks. I also spent some time in the Chicago Thin Wall Packaging conference, and had the chance to work with Polypropylene marketing and US sales developers. This cross-function and real market exposure offered me a chance to further develop my commercial capabilities and skills.

Coming along with my one year anniversary with ExxonMobil, I’m taking a new role as Market Developer for the same business line. I will have more chances to work globally with colleagues from sales, marketing, and technology. I truly enjoy observing myself grow in different dimensions everyday with ExxonMobil. It was a great choice to join ExxonMobil and I’m eager to learn more every day!

Two years ago, I graduated from East China University of Science and Technology with a Master’s degree in Chemical Technology. I appreciate the opportunity to join ExxonMobil Chemical, one of the leading chemical companies in the world. My initial assignment was a Polypropylene Sales Engineer covering East/North China area, where my bright and rewarding career started.

For new campus hires, training is a critical element for growth. EMC offered me systematic training not only in class room settings but also on-job shadowing conducted by experienced colleagues. Through these training opportunities, I broadened business knowledge and strengthened my commercial skills. Being a sales person, the most challenging task is to build mutual trust with customers. I spent a lot of time interacting with customers, listening to their opinions, handling their feedback and providing value-added services. Finally I was highly recognized by most customers due to my sincere characteristics and professional business operations. At the same time, my maturity and confidence level improved as well.

In Apr 2012, I relocated from Shanghai to Guangzhou for a new assignment as a Marketing Developer responsible for the Asia Pacific Automotive Segment. The new challenge for me was how to quickly settle down in a new environment while picking up a new job. ExxonMobil provided me very strong support for my relocation, such as finding an apartment, moving personal belongings, and facilitating my wife’s relocation to join me in Guangzhou. Meanwhile my boss provided many advices in how to grow fast in a marketing position that helped me to foster a smooth transition.

Aside from daily work, ExxonMobil also has many platforms for employees to show their talent in social activities, support in charity events, robustness in sports competition, and enthusiasm in community services. ExxonMobil as a company is like a big family with strong social citizenship responsibilities.

ExxonMobil is a fantastic company that can offer you not only a job only but also a career with memorable challenges and valuable returns. Please come and join us.

I joined ExxonMobil Chemical Shanghai Office in July 2010 after graduating from Shanghai Jiaotong University with a bachelor degree in Bioengineering. The past two years I experienced growing responsibilities from three challenging positions in ExxonMobil.

Serving initially as a Sales Assistant for Specialty Elastomer Business (SEB), apart from learning basic business models, I was also encouraged to take initiatives in streamlining the current operation process to improve business efficiency and effectiveness. As a freshman at ExxonMobil, I benefited from the well-established mentor program, diversified training sessions, as well as working with intelligent professionals in my working environment. Moreover, ExxonMobil helps new hires to build up network of contacts through communities such as alumni networks and recreation clubs for me to better adapt to a large corporation.

Nine months later, I was moved to become the Asia Pacific Demand Planner for SEB, which required more extensive and in-depth understanding of the business. I was challenged professionally and personally to coordinate between sales and supply chain with an all-embracing perspective. Four months later, I was then dispatched to a short-term assignment in the United States for a one-month mini-project. With the help of people from different functions and divisions, I learned how to initiate a project with paying attention to every single aspect and then combining them together to formulate a whole picture. I also appreciated the opportunities to communicate with senior management in the headquarters, who provided me insights about our business.

Very recently, I was rotated into my third position as a Supply Operation Planner. Relocated from Shanghai to Singapore, I have been dealing with logistic issues concerning our new plant in Singapore. This assignment allows me to experience living in a different country and working in an operational work environment.

I am very glad I made the decision to join ExxonMobil where I have grown tremendously. I truly enjoy the variety of responsibilities and interactions with a wide range of people in an international working environment. It makes every day of my professional life all the more exciting!

I graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics in 2009 with a Bachelor’s Degree in International Accounting, and then joined ExxonMobil as Financial Analyst. I still remember the first day when I came into the office, my buddy bought me breakfast and introduced me to everyone in our department. The safe, healthy, friendly atmosphere here deeply impressed me and relieved my stress of being a freshman. It was a good start, but not as good as the journey I went through during the past three years.

I began my career as bank accounting analyst in the general accounting team. To me the assignment was a perfect starting point. It not only helped me to learn the fundamental knowledge of our department, but also prompted me to improve my communication skills. I expanded my vision from accounting to various different aspects, such as procurement, supply & distribution, human resources, etc. In the following year, I was transferred to the financial accounting team as inventory analyst. My logical thinking skill and business acumen were strengthened a lot. I took a site visit to Hong Kong in the winter. It was a very exciting experience because all your imagination about the oil terminal suddenly became real. From that moment I felt all my calculations and analysis of numbers turn into real business. After two years, I got my third assignment as financial reporting analyst of Fujian project. I cherish this opportunity because it offers me exposure to both the downstream and chemical businesses. Also, the position requires solid knowledge of both US GAAP and local accounting standards, which is a big challenge for me. I need to learn fast and react immediately to various kinds of situations. My soft skills and technical skills have developed quickly in this assignment.

Look back to the experience I’ve had in ExxonMobil, I feel lucky to have the chance to work here. I grew up to be a professional, step by step. If you are curious about the energy industry, come on and join us! You’ll never regret.

I graduated from Fudan University in 2009, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting. After my graduation, I started my career with ExxonMobil as a financial analyst. During my three years with ExxonMobil, I grew from a freshman to a professional. I always hold the confidence that I have made the right decision to join this great company.

I am really impressed by the long-term commitment that ExxonMobil promises. I have gained great opportunities to have four assignment rotations within the Finance organization, from financial reporting, to bank accounting and inter-company accounting in Corporate Accounting Services, and now I am a stewardship & analysis earnings analyst in Business Analysis & Reporting. ExxonMobil has provided me with good exposure in different roles at an early stage, to broaden my horizon and enhance my accounting knowledge step by step. My current assignment has given me a brand new platform to understand how ExxonMobil runs its business and operates, gaining the ability to understand, interpret and apply critical thinking and problem-solving techniques in creating statistical summaries and graphical representations of business data. My system and PC skills have been further developed by utilizing sophisticated spreadsheets and problem solving tools to interpret data. In addition, I have benefited from comprehensive training provided by ExxonMobil such as new employee orientation, individual effectiveness etc. I am able to put what I have learnt into practice.

ExxonMobil is also a very people-oriented company. The comprehensive safety program and the strong safety sense of our employees impressed me a lot when I joined the company. The first orientation I received here was the safety briefing on the office evacuation plan in case of emergency. Besides, I was assigned with a good Buddy who helped me a lot to get adapted to the new environment quickly. In the next year, I became a Buddy myself for the next batch of campus hire to pass on this best practice. Meanwhile, I do appreciate all the excellent colleagues I am working with. Without their input, I would not have improved over time.

Taking into account the good new hire assimilation and sound career development in ExxonMobil, I have made progress steadily. What is more, the company provides me with a sense of belonging. This is a wonderful starting point to develop finance and accounting career in a great company. If you are looking for the same, welcome to join us!

I joined ExxonMobil right after my graduation from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2010 as a campus hire. After two years with ExxonMobil, I am convinced that what ExxonMobil offered is far more than a job, but a wonderful long term career.

During these two years, I had three job rotations in Corporate Accounting Services. My first position is Banking Analyst, General Accounting, responsible for whole PRC bank accounting and process improvement. After one year, I moved to the Financial Accounting and Reporting Team as a multi-task analyst for General Ledger, Inventory Valuation and Reporting for HK Chemical Affiliates. In March 2012, I began a new assignment for PRC Chemical Financial Reporting. I learned a lot and benefited tremendously from the exposure to the different positions and progressed step by step through them. I got the chance to coordinate with colleagues from other functions and review the process again to identify areas for improvement and initiate problem solving. It not only helped me to pick up accounting knowledge quickly but also provided the chance to understand other functions’ processes. I am grateful that ExxonMobil has built my capability in critical thinking, seeking out improvement areas and taking the initiative to implement process improvements at an early stage of my career development. I am interested to be involved in process optimization projects and to take up the challenge of improving the quality of operations.

Every work accomplishment is recognized by our management and I was given the chance to present to senior management. Not every big company would offer the chance to a young employee like me to have the exposure to senior level management. But ExxonMobil does.

ExxonMobil is a multinational company and provides various opportunities for us to interface with colleagues in other sites through the global network. I treasure the chance to participate in such networks as it provides me a platform to learn from other talented people around the world and develop my communication skills.

ExxonMobil will always push us ahead by providing us new assignments. Apart from my main job, I was nominated to be the lead of a committee which rolls out the office safety system. This task was a big challenge to me as I was a project leader for the first time. However, by taking on the challenge with an open mind, I now know how to manage a project and lead a team.

ExxonMobil really puts emphasis on the career development of our campus hires. There are opportunities to rotate not only within CAS but also to the other PRC Finance functions, even to a short-term overseas assignment. Management is giving us more exposure to various opportunities as well as challenges to help us grow in ExxonMobil. I really appreciate the challenges where I need to stretch myself in order to accomplish the tasks. Such challenges allow me to achieve more than what I thought I could.

ExxonMobil is a great place to start a career, has great people to work with, and offers great opportunities to grow fast. I am looking forward to seeing you join ExxonMobil and making progress together with ExxonMobil!
