Here is a clip of me recording Chinese.  While my blog is currently under supervision of my Chinese program; I'm required to provide this clip.  I apologize for the closeness of the camera to my face (slightly embarrassing) - picks up on every little movement I make and makes me seem twitchy, but there was simply no other way to pick up on the sound!  Also a little hyped out on coffee at the moment, but for what it's worth:  an explanation of my role at Kosmos!

Good Morning! My name is Caitlin – Because my name is similar to that of the spelling of the Brand Calvin Klein, my coworkers like to call me “CK” – the Kosmos intern! – Or, as my so-called title says “Overseas Commercial Sales Manager”

早上好！我叫蓝凯琳 – 因为我的名字与流行品牌Calvin Klein的拼写很相似，我的同事喜欢叫我“CK”我是Kosmos公司的实习生！我所谓的地位：“海外的营业经理”

I am honored!  Only after a month, and I’m already a manager! Really amazing！Actually I'm just kidding.  I suppose that makes sense… I mean, it is only because I the only one in the office who speaks english as a mother language.

我感到非常荣幸！仅一个月后，我已经是经理！十分神奇了！其实我只是在开玩笑。我想这是有道理的... ...我的意思是，这只是因为在办公室里我是唯一讲母语英语的。对我来说，任务的难度不上一般经理者之程度。

By the way – my office, the Shenzhen office is the headquarters of Kosmos Logistics International.

不管怎么说 - 我的办公室在深圳，是公司的总部。

So what do I do as an Overseas Commercial Manager?  Honestly I don’t really feel deserving of this title. I have had many jobs before – but this is the first one of managerial status.

所以，我该怎么办作为一个海外商务经理？说实话，我真的不觉得我无愧于公司经理的称号。我已经有过大量的工作，但是这是我管理状况​​的第一次。

Although my role within the company is to help increase the U.S. customer basis the only method the provided is by phone.

虽然我在公司内部的作用是帮助Kosmos增加美国客户的基础, 公司所给我提供的方法只是通过电话。

At first, I was instructed to do this on my own.  During the day I would study these U.S. companies, look at their income levels and whether they need U.S. import / export freight forwarding services) – but this was a stab in the dark, not to mention my sales’ pitches were rarely ever successful

起初进步很小，公司让我做自己的研来一找潜在客户。通常而言，这是个困难的任务。 白天的时候我会研究这些美国公司，看看他们的收入阶层以及他们是否需要中美的进口/出口货运代理服务。更不用说我开始做研究的时候，没有效果了，就是因为我原来对货运行业的理解并没有那么深，所以我当时盲目地研究这些公司没有成功的。

Later my boss gave me a database of business cards he had received at business symposiums – and this has helped tremendously.  Within my first two days of using the contacts he provided, my I had already found 6 potential clients to give shipment quotations to.

后来我的老板给了我他从业务研讨会收到的业务名片- 这有极大帮助。在我的第2天使用他提供的明辨以后，我就突然地获得了6个潜在客户而且给他们发了货报价。

How to say?  The Kosmos intern training method is very independent.

怎么说呢？ Kosmos实习训练方式就是很独立的。

Although I don’t have any desire to work in this industry after graduation – the internship is helpful with my ability to communicate effectively in sales, and it will be useful if I become a private wealth advisor.

虽然我毕业后对于种行业下，没有任何愿望工作， 但这 Kosmos的实习经验现在是让我练习我销售的沟通能力。我认为如果我依照计划成为私人财富顾问，这将是有用的。

Oh it’s almost nine o’clock! Better get to work!

快九点钟了, 应该去上班!
