Asher Kim

Summary

I am confident I will be valuable to your company for three reasons:

1. I have history of great teamwork

   All teams I belonged to had great results. I contributed to my team's 1st place in new employees' product idea competition at CJ CheilJedang (2017), 2nd place in national collegiate baseball club tournament (2014), 1st place in national collegiate classical guitar club competition (2014), and more. By putting team above me and doing what team needs, even if I don't like it, I believe I contributed to each team's success.

2. I tailor my work to customer and employer

   I ran e-commerce business for two years, and though I failed, I experienced being business owner. I will work from customer's and employer's perspectives, not mine.

3. I will grow quickly as developer

   It's likely I will make decent developer for two reasons. First, I fit programming. I enjoy solving difficult problems with logic. At school, people sought me for one reason: math problems. Second, I learn fast. One of my Gallup strengths is Input: gathering and soaking in new information. I will learn what is needed and adapt to work environment quickly.

Experience

• Managed key food products' export to North America, and helped NA team exceed goal by 5-20% every quarter
• Elicited good cooperation from involved departments (Marketing, Packaging, Quality, SCM, Production, and more) by communicating with humility, rare behavior in company's competitive culture
• Increased related departments' performances by voluntarily devising and doing needed work. Organized weekly spreadsheets containing key products' orders, inventory, and production dates. Shared with SCM and Production, helped them make effective schedule adjustments, and prevented almost 100% of stockouts. Had more personal workload but decreased others' (e.g. stopped feuds and negotiations among Overseas Sales teams, which arose from stockouts ).

• Contributed to successful ROK-US joint exercise as senior translator

Education

Minutiae

• Enjoys using brain to solve difficult, interesting problems (e.g. devising builds in games like Monster Hunter and Dark Souls to beat challenging bosses)
• As introvert, prefers balancing socializing with bit more solitude
