Jie Zhou
My name is Jie Zhou. I already started my academic career in Europe in Rotterdam (Netherlands) at the Rotterdam Business School. I completed a BA in Logistics in English. Afterwards I went to Germany and first learned German at Communikation Akoun & Scholten for one year (2006). Yes, learning German is work, but the course was fun, and the lecturers did a good job. After I had passed the DSH examination, I started a Master’s degree in Logistic Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen and completed it after 2.5 years (2009). Then I started to work in Germany. First at the Deutsche Post in Bonn. After one year I changed to the subsidiary of Deutsche Post, DHL, and after 2 years in Bonn I was transferred to the branch of DHL in Singapore and worked in the Regional Route Management as a Risk Manager.
2014 was an important year for me. I changed my job again and started at Daimler (Daimler Northeast Asia Parts Trading and Services). For more than 5 years now (now as Senior Manager) I have been involved in warehouse logistics planning, managing warehouse design and construction projects and developing automation projects in existing warehouses together with my team. I no longer work in Germany – my office is currently in Beijing – but I work for a German company. My studies (and of course my language skills) gave me a good start in companies that all earn their money at the interface between Germany and China.
Finding and training young people for these jobs is, I think, an important contribution of the Tsinghua project and language training within the partnership between the UDE and its Chinese partners. Thank you very much for that!

我叫周洁。我的欧洲留学之路始于荷兰鹿特丹商学院。我在那里完成了英语授课的物流专业本科学习。之后我来到了德国参加了Communikation Akoun & Scholten为期一年的德语学期。德语学习是艰苦的，但也是快乐的。老师们非常的棒。之后我通过了DSH考试并被杜伊斯堡-埃森大学的物流硕士专业录取。通过两年半的学习我于2009年毕业。毕业后我选择留德工作。我最早工作于波恩的德国邮政总部。一年后我转岗去了德国邮政的子公司——敦豪快递（DHL）。又在波恩工作两年后我被调往新加坡的DHL分公司并于区域路线管理部担任风险管理经理。
2014年对我是非常重要的一年。我跳槽到了戴姆勒东北亚分公司。迄今五年多来我从事于仓储物流规划，仓库建造和现有仓库的自动化改造工作。虽然我已不在德国，被掉到了北京，但我依然是在德国公司工作。我的德语及德国留学背景为我提供了一个极好的职场开端，搭上了德中经济发展大好局势的顺风车。
我认为，清华项目和其项目框架下的语言培训为在杜伊斯堡-埃森大学就读的年轻中国学生提供了一个非常好的留德平台。衷心感谢。
