What is my biggest success?

My biggest success?

The experiences I have when my family moved to Guangzhou in 1996
I moved to Guangzhou when I was ten. It was really hard for me to keep up with my classmates. Because I had never studied English before. However ,they had already learned how to talk some normal coversations. So I tried my best, and asked the teacher to help me after the class.  Two months after, I got an A in English. And I can understand most cantonese my classmates speak after class. I think this is the biggest success I'd ever made.

What's your career plan?

At first, I'd like to be a developer in the field of IT industry. Then after some more experiences, I would like to be in a senior position in which I can have a broader view of the development process. With the lower layer knowledge I have in these positions, later I plan to be in a manager position in which I can directly design the whole structure of the product and communicate directlly with the customers.

See yourself 5 years later

5 yeas later, I would have learned the structure of the devlopment of a product. Also, communicate with customers would my main responsibility, because I understand what can be done and what can not. To be a manager to provide solution and service to my customers. I would design and modify the whole structure and negotiate my whole team to fufill customers' needs.

Other's comments on you and examples
Helpful, creativity, passion, have a sensitive eye on business.
My friends said I was helpful. Maybe that's because I have helped a lot when they encountered some computer problems.
And they think me of creativity because I always think of some bussiness plan. And I always write down the plans. Then I would share the ideat with them. I always take a close eye on the environment. And always want to make some change, make some modifications. How to do better? What would I do if I was in that position? I always ask myself these questions.

Work with high pressure
High pressure is no problem I think. Sometimes it's really some kind of good stimulus. In some competition, there is always some kind of deadline. I would do my best when I was under great pressure. Because I would always believe in myself. So however the pressure is , I would try my best. Then I won't feel pity of myself. Because I had done the best of myself.

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.

a easy toeic test and more other things.

Today I took the TOEIC test. It's not so difficult. It's much like the tests i took before the real test.
By the way, it rains in Beijing again. It has rained a lot during this year. It's really rare in Beijing, the northen city famous for its shortage of water. More stangely in the Olympics year.

Today I went to the railway station to buy the ticket home. I didn't buy the ticket I originaly want. There was no berth ticket availabe when I got there. So I bought a sitting ticket with 90.5 yuan because of the students' discounts. Cheap enough, although I don't want to have to stay within the sit through the journey which takes about 13 hours.

I don't want to waste a lot of money on traffic and other things. I still can't afford myself now. But I don't want to ask my parents for money all the time before I graduate from university.

Lenovo is doing a sales campaign on potenial notebook buyers. It offers a attractive price for student buyers. I was interested in it,too. But without a job, I still can't afford the price. What a pity. The special discount will end on Sept. 30th. 

Maybe I would buy just a desktop on the future when I can afford to buy one. Because it's more useful and much powerful than just a notebook. Also I don't usually take a notebook out, do I ?
Moreover, notebook all have a shortage of power, and great heat on the keyboard and the pannel behind it. It's so uncomfortable.
