Title
Hello Everyone!
Translation
English

Translated by IanMegill2
Target language: English

Hello everyone!
My name is Jia Xu. I was born in 1986 in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. From 2004 to 2007, I studied Computer Science at Taiyuan Science and Engineering University, from which I graduated in 2007. I am honoured to be here at your company for an interview.
I'm happy to have graduated now, but I also realize university was only the first step, and from now on I hope to use my knowledge and abilities to further the growth of your company.
Remarks about the translation
Literally:
Hello Everyone!
I am a graduate from the class of 2007. My name is Jia Xu. I was born in 1986 in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. From 2004 to 2007, I studied at Taiyuan Science and Engineering University, in the Computer Science department. I feel extremely honoured and lucky to be able to have this opportunity to come to this company for an interview.
After my small success in academia described above, I felt especially happy and relieved, and now I carefully hope to offer my little power for the development of your company.

As can be seen from the literal translation above, I moved the first information given about the writer's graduation, and put it the information about the university, where it would most likely be found in an English text.

Although the writer in all likelihood did graduate, per the literal target the source text does not say that; the more idiomatic target says it twice.

In the literal translation as well, the first sentence is
I am a graduate from the class of 2007
?

The literal translation also talks about
my small success in academia
which really means "my graduation" in Chinese...

So I guess it doesn't come across as strongly in the literal English translation of the Chinese, but she really does underline the fact that she graduated from university twice in the original, too...

Ah, I see the bit about graduation now. Changing the sentence order is good.

Michel Lao, why did you vote no on this one?
