Lucky Guy

This post is just about some recent feelings.

 

I am such a lucky guy. And I always know that.

The best thing that keeps happening to me is the great people & friends I meet.

My family is so supportive and understanding.

There are so much solid friendship from my elementary school classmates. 

My high school friends know me so well and our relationship are so deep and long.

Now, I am here. Again, so many kind, knowledgeable, and helpful friends are around me.

I learned how to enjoy golf. I received so many help for my job hunting.

There are so many great people trying to make me a better person.

How can I let them down.

Last night, I met my alumni mentor, who is trying to find me an internship more aggressively than I am. Is the luck from my name: "The one who get great people's help, guide, and support"?

The only thing I can do is to achieve my goal, to show them their help is worth it, to demonstrate I do learn from them, and to honestly present my heart to them.

I wish all my family and friends the best.

You are not wasting your time on me. I will not let you down.

Atlanta trip:NSHMBA career expo

I came back from Atlanta last Sat. night. There are lots things that I learned from this event. First of all, the economy is really shrinking right now. All the companies are offering much less openings than demands. Although that might be the truth for anytime, the difficulty of finding a job is extremely high right now.

Second, the opportunities for international students are even fewer. There are few reasons that a company needs to hire someone from other country, especially at this moment. They may want to hire me in their Chinese branch or Hong-Kong one. And that may be the highest possibility my intern will be.(if I can really get one)

Third, I need to learn and get used to American culture in order to get an offer here. All those social events, greeting conversations, and strong confidence in expressing oneself make me uncomfortable, but I need to overcome it or I will never get a job here!

It's a tough mission and I do not think I can achieve it. However, this is also a chance to grow, to learn, to be open-minded, so I will keep trying. Boston career forum! I am coming soon!
