Finding Jobs


These days I've been busy looking for jobs. Mostly I went to the Yinjiesheng website, and found many new jobs pop out. These jobs are all nice, but also with a high standard and many requirements.

It's really frustrating that I did not fit into their requirement even it's a great job. And people always say a lot about their past experience on the job application. They've made a great success, or they won't say a word. But I am still filling a lot of forms and questions, waiting for rejection.

Today I went to an presentation by the Technology Division of Morgan Stanley, a great investment bank in America. It's recruiting people in Shanghai. They offer a competitive salary, also a high standard of ability.

If I can decide the career path I would take one year ago, this would be quite easy for me now.
So I try to tell Sinkey what I think and remind her that she should take action as early as possible. Try to find a suitable job, understand the job requirements and try to prepare for it now.

These days I always call my mother. Because I want to buy a new notebook. The Thinkpad T400. There is a special sale going on. Before Sept 30th, I can buy the T400 notebook with special discount only for students. That's really sound attractive. With the old one,  I was really not confident to persuade my parents to buy the new one for me. I called several times. But all failed to say the word.

Also I think that these notebooks are too bad. First, they are all too heavy. Although there are ones called netbook weigh really light, they always generate much more heat than the bigger one. They are just not your best dreamed one if you can't accept their flaws.
