luck + communication + good personality + strength

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I've been here for 4 months, only got two interviews besides those from agents. One was a small IT comany who find my resume on workopolis, another one was introduced by an agent who found my resume on monster. I've almost got two offers, but I lost the first one because they are too late to response me , I've already booked a trip. As to the second one which happened after the trip, I've passed three interviews and got the offer.

Due to my experience on job hunting, maybe my interviews is too few to show something. I just wanna list something.
1 luck: both of these interviews happend so suddenly that I've almost thought it is the pancake fallen from the heaven.
2 communication: though you have the strength, without good words to express it, how would others know about it?
3 personality: I might think this factor is so much important on hiring you. Show your passion, show how eager you would like to learn, show it from your experience. Show that you are a good team player. Be more positive when interviewed.
4 strength: Skills are always important. They won't hire somebody who don't know anything about the position. They would hire you based on your strength besides your personality. So focus on your aim, try to improve yourself as much as possible.

Since we could not control luck, we could control other factors. Be strong and be more ready for the job, there are a lot of things to do like communication skills, technology updated. For those who have good networking, use that. As I knew somebody got his job on networking. Anyhow, try to plan well, keep good feelings and never give up.

My husband always helps me on this, whenever I felt so depressed, he would encourage me. I knew I wouldn't keep good feelings whithout him, I knew I couldn't hold so long a time without him. I would also thank those who posted their experiences here on rolia.com, their stories encouraged me too.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • Great !
      • Make a baby next year and enjoy the benefit. HeHe:=)
        • ???
      • A good news :see #247451
        • Thanks.不过我是决定在这里老老实实的呆满三年了。
    • You know I am very jealous of you!
    • 恭喜恭喜!虽然有点晚。原来是英文的,所以没看见!
    • Thank you very much! It is very useful.
    • It's good experience for new comer.
    • Great! Which field are you in?
    • 多谢诸位捧场,我玩的是数据库,编程倒不是很在行。
      • 很奇怪,rolia里怎么这么多IT 业的MM?在Tsinghua读书时,女生只有1/6,但是成绩第一名是女生,别的班也类似.男生们都觉得不可思议,因为我们都很吃力.大家总结:通常女不如男(理工科),但是她如果厉害的话,就比男生还厉害....佩服佩服!
        • really? 我高中同宿舍的读书最用功的一个据说是她们大学一个宿舍里最不用功的一个。她清华毕业后继续读直博,现在在美国。你为什么来加拿大?我认识的读清华的(包括毕业的和没毕业的,有两个读到4年级就走的)都在美国。
          • 我班大部分出国的同学去了美国,但我不想去,也不想来加拿大。因为我比他们几乎所有人都“混”得好得多。来加的目的是为了Canadian Passport,另外,我们喜欢kid,能有第二个小孩也不错。
            盼望新移民法,希望能“混”一个身份,否则只有give up LP。
            • r u in Changsha or from changsha?
              • I am from Changsha.My wife and I landed in Vancouver in this October.Now,we are back.I'll appy for RRP.
                • Which middle school did you graduate from? I am a little bit curious.
                  • I studied in No.2 Middle School,but I graduated from No.1 Middle School.Maybe allumni?
                    • I graduated from No. 2
                      • Nice to meet you.I was there from 1979-1980,When did you graduated?
                        • wow,so early. I hadnt been there yet, I was in a primary school in another city at that time. Anyway, nice to know you and happy for your success. I am not so ambitious though my husband might be. It is me who dragged
                          him to board on the same ship with me. Though I knew China is the biggest and still an aboriginal market in the world, there should be a lot of opportunities, I don't like my husband working as a typical bussinessman in China, just living on his amazing communication skills and spending a lot of time hunting with so-called customers or friends. Though I dont have kids yet, I wish if one day I could have my own, I prefer he or she had a better way to enjoy knowledge instead of being pressed by those boring tests in China. I am a timid little person, just wanna have a peaceful life.
                          • 我的移民也是太太drag来的。我不想出国,可她想出国,于是就递了申请,没想到“双免”,很顺利。现在反而不知怎么办。能保有LP最好,毕竟多一种选择。但是如果要以长期两地分居或事业为代价,则有些沉重。
            • 我不明白你凭什么说你比他们几乎所有人都“混”得好得多。他们拿到美国的文凭,留美国有机会拿美国绿卡,回中国薪水不会低,再退一步,他们在美国呆不下去,再移民加拿大来加找工作也比直接从中国来有优势。
              说老实话,我同学中最早去美国的是高二,交换学生,当时北京市就一个名额,后来上了哈佛;再后来就是一些高中毕业去的;去年去的也有。这两年美国的就业环境也不好,我那些同学也没听说哪个LAID OFF的。不说那些在美国拿了博士的,我先生的表妹不过是在美国拿了个本科,去年也在大公司找到工作,今年还买了house。当时我是最不爱读书的,吃不了读书的苦,又根本没想过出国。直到有一天,发现在中国的日子开始没意思了,才想到来了加拿大。
              如果你那帮同学真的日子都过得不如你,只能说你们那批太差。
              • 绝大多数人都在当高级白领,拿高薪,但仅此而已。他们已经没有了锐气。极少人有1000万人民币的财产。他们不可能象我这样,把一个公司从小做到大,as a member of the board,体验把它送上市的全过程。那不是高级打工仔体会得到的
                • 日子过得好不好也不是用钱的多少来衡量的。你在中国有钱有事业,还不是也想拿个加拿大的PASSPORT。小声问一句:你的上市公司不会是一个网站吧?你的财产不会大部分是公司的股票吧?
                  • 你说得对,他们更加有freedom,我想要加国护照,也是为了商务方便。我觉得我的同学们失去了锐气很可惜。除非他们也创办公司,否则永远赶不上我。但是我很累。我不是网站,国内没有上市的网站
                    • 什么是锐气?难道只有做生意挣钱才是锐气么?爆发户可最有锐气了。做学问讲究的是宁静至远,道不同不相与谋。
                      • 应该说是“朝气”或上进心。如果他们在做学问,那我怎么会有可惜之说呢?没有一个人在做学问!甚至大部分人博士没毕业就进了公司,学术水平已经不行了,在公司地位也一般。见#247427 后段。
                • 大岛,各有各的活法,看法不一而已,只要自己觉得好,打 labour 也不错。芸芸众生,皇帝有时还羡慕乞丐的自在生活呢。
                  • 你说得极是。大部分人还是出国好,生活质量高。但是如果国内有基础,又有“野心”的话,中国的机会比较多。
                    • 如果我是你,就从此退隐,到加拿大养老。只可惜我不是你,你不能没有事业,我这样好吃懒做的人也不会有这么多钱。ANYWAY,GOOD LUCK.祝早日成为加拿大公民。(哈哈,这方面我比你有优势!其他....唉!总之我好妒忌你有这么多钱呀)
                      • 呵呵,同感。
                      • 我一生中最紧张的日子在清华电子系,拼死拼活,好不容易保住了班级前十名,进了研究生。9年前,从日本洋插队回来,觉得累了,晃晃悠悠休息了3年。终于闷得慌,又和哥们一起创业,一直忙到现在,上了贼船。
                        我倒是想不要副总的年薪,只拿年底董事分红,但是哥们不会同意。人总是有很多的责任,总是太忙了想闲,太闲了又闷得慌。36岁就休息似乎也太早了点,肯定会闷得发疯。更重要的是,看着自己与企业一起成长,是一种难得的体验。此时,钱早已经不是问题,更不是目的了。回首往事,我最值得自慰的,不是现在的事业,地位和财产,而是我有一个幸福的家庭。人生无常,钱财可以灰飞烟没(9。11就是明证),唯有真情永在。
                        • 原来你也是出国镀金回来的,还以为你一直在中国读书工作呢。这样和你去美国的同学也没有什么不同。只是现在他们选择了在美国做高级打工仔,你自己在回国做自己的事业。
                          这只是选择的不同,你也不能说“我比他们几乎所有人都“混”得好得多”,你最多只能说“我比他们几乎所有人钱都挣得多”。
                          • 其实你还是没有理解我的意思,我在日本只呆了两年。我主要不是说钱,而是在说事业上的地位。事业。他们在大公司,但是职位不高,没有进入主流社会。凭他们的能力,完全可以做得更好。
                            我同学有一个留校,早已是博导,业界权威,手中的经费极多(千万量级)。他发现我们在海外的同学在学术上已经完全不行了,事业上也没有出人头地,大部分人在“过日子”。“可惜论”就是他最先说出来的。海外同学本应该是精华中的精华。It's not a matter of money at all.
                            • You are right ! :)
                            • 人的生活中并不是只有钱和事业。每个人的人生目的不同。很多人都知道,对中国人来说,回中国比其它在其他国家更适合赚钱和开展事业。我想你那些同学也不是傻子。
                              他们愿意留在北美做打工仔,是因为他们认为有比赚钱和事业更重要的东西,这些东西可能就是在北美有,中国没有。
                              人生的目的不同而已,你根本没有资格因为他们钱赚得没你多,所谓事业没你成功而说他们过得没你就好。大家道不同也。我们也是。算起来也许你在清华读研究生的时候,可能我也在附近游荡,但我们是根本不同的人。钱和事业对我来说都不重要,钱虽然是多多益善,如果也我为钱和所谓事业放弃我更喜欢的东西,我情愿不要。
                              我发现我还比你有一个优点:我比你清楚“鱼和熊掌不可兼得”的道理。要得到一些东西,总要放弃一些东西。世上的好事不可能都给一个人占尽。

                              最后,还是GOOD LUCK.祝早日拿到加拿大护照。这其实是很容易得到的东西,连鱼和熊掌都算不上,拿不到就有点不划算了。
                • SORRY,话说得不太好听,请原谅。在国内,周围的人里大把有钱的人,也不见得他们日子过得怎样舒服,也都把小孩往外面送。我先生的舅舅有9位数的身家,他的独生女在美国靠自己的工资供房供车,也挺开心的。
                  • A good news for all of us:新移民法已经参议院通过,明年6月28日实行。见 法律:#247451
                    • 这法律也没多大用途,5年内还是要住满两年,还不如老老实实的拿了国籍再回去.否则下一个五年又得再来两年,那不是更加折腾.
                    • 我一直都不关心新法。我会老老实实在加拿大呆足三年,然后再考虑是不是找个暖和的地方居住。中国我是不会回去长住的了。还有想问一句无关的话,长沙现在有麦当劳了吗?我前几年出差去过,饭菜不合口味,想找麦当劳都没有。
                      • 有几家麦当劳,还有几家肯德基。I'll buy a house and live in Vancouver when I retire,enjying the rest of my life.
                        • 等你退休开始ENJOY YOUR REST OF MY LIFE的时候,我已经过这种日子不知多久了。
                          • I'm jealous of your being a woman ,who can enjoy life earlier.My wife has been enjoying her life as you do. God bless you!
                            • 我先生也不用等退休才ENJOY HIS LIFE.我不是要求很高的女人,我先生完全可以去做他喜欢的事,不必被赚钱和所谓事业束缚。对于我们来说,没有什么比两个人在一起更重要的了。
                              • 其实我现在主要是对公司,对同事的“责任”问题,我不能脱身。我觉得第一是家庭,即两人在一起,第二是事业,第三是自由(LP),第四才是金钱 因为不想两人分离,事业又无法脱身,所以保住LP对我们很难。
                                • 你不觉得你逻辑有问题吗?说是家庭是第一位的,又说如何如何不能脱身,LP也难保住。你有可能申请返加证,你老婆肯定不行吧。只可能两地分居了,还谈什么家庭第一。倒是什么好词儿你都可以用到自己身上。你自己玩吧,我不陪你了。
                                  • 我没有让我女儿landing,所以她事实上已经gives up 了.my wife 和我登陆后,一起回国了.我们在中国团园了.我们一直在认真考虑放弃LP的问题.fiona,仔细看看我的帖子,其实我是前后一致的.
                                    • 我怎么觉得还是矛盾多多。其一:既然你太太已经和你一起回国了,你一个人申请返加证干吗?我没有听说过夫妻俩都能申请成功的。就算你申请到了返加证,一年后你怎么办?
                                      你太太、女儿因为放弃过一次了,没那么容易申请团聚了。就算可以申请团聚,申请期间你在哪里呆?中国?这不是拿加拿大移民局开涮吗?否则还不是要分开。
                                      其二:你太太、女儿既然这么简单地就放弃了,当初干吗还要让你申请移民?钱和精力过剩?看起来又不象。我真看不明白。
                                      其三:你既然“一直在认真考虑放弃LP的问题”,为什么前面还那么笃定地说要退休后在温哥华买房养老?加拿大移民局是你家开的?批准了你移民,你又全家放弃,回中国赚钱,等你老了再批准你去养老?如果说我前面误解了你,是因为你一直给我这样的印象:你还是很想保留PR身份。我的思路是:你这样在国内有事业的人要保留PR身份,最起码是要留妻儿在加做移民监,才有希望。你倒是好,一家在中国团聚,就想靠你申请返加证保留身份。
                                      祈祷新法按时实行吧。这是你最大的希望。但几年后你一样要面临同样的选择。
                                      虽然我比你年轻不少,实在忍不住想教导你一句:人做每件事,都是有得必有失的。好处不可能全让你罗尽的。你给我的感觉是你是不懂放弃的人。

                                      Anyway, good luck.
                                • 大岛,每个人背景不一样,周围的环境不一样,想法自然不同。I agree with you. :)
                          • 谁愿意过什么样的日子就过什么样的。有人愿意幽闲,有人愿意干点事。你觉得你一直enjoy life了。别人还觉得你荒废青春什么都没干呢。人和人的想法不同嘛。哪那么多好说的。
                            • 我也是在说我和他的人生不同,况且我没说他不应该做他做的事。你指责我指责得没道理!
                • 在美国做个高级白领,有个上百万美金的身家不是很难吧!再说,等人民币真的自由兑换的时候,还不知道汇率是多少呢!
      • Congradulations!Are you a DBA? Can you tell about your job in more detail?
    • 恭喜恭喜!写得很好,最后才知道是一位MM。我认为你的LG何必encourage你呢,他自己多干点活多挣点钱,减轻你的生活压力,不就万事大吉?让女人去拼搏,本人颇不以为然。脑海中浮现出:一个女孩肩扛大箱子,呼着粗气在爬山坡。一个男人袖手站在旁边喊加油。你倒是伸伸手啊
      • You should be (or will be) a good husband. However, some women like to carry that “big case”, though I am not one of them.
        • thank you.I check your brief info,you are a system analyst,the same as me.I'm very suprised: my God!佩服
          • I almost foget that.
            Because I lack of strength and my husband never gives me presure, I've never sent one resume during the past seven months. Sometimes I think I need a little bit presure. I also need money for travel, for a beautiful car, for an unit at the waterfront.... I am jealous of ShaSha, just for her strength and her job.
            • shasha太累。 I never give my wife pressure.She can do whatever she decides to do.
      • 你怎么知道她LG就没挣钱干活。
        • 我只是说:作为男人不应该让妻子太辛苦,经济的重担应该比女人承担更多而已。
          • 多谢关心,老公没有让我吃什么苦,至少经济上我们不会有太多的担忧。要说苦的话,那是相思苦。
            • 不是特,下辈子最好让你坐回男人,站着说话不腰疼!!!
              • What do you mean ? Why I couldn't understand.
                • 你当然不会懂,狠不懂吧!让我来告诉你。
          • Oh, Man!
            A guy doesn't have big money doesn't mean he doesn't love or care his wife. Not everybody can be as lucky as you. Also, who knows, maybe more women are even happier than your wife with your money, your care and your love. hehe.. Kidding.
            • yes,you got it. but what i said is another topic,not a topic about happiness.
      • 非也。出国纯粹是我的主意,老公尊重我的选择而且非常支持我,虽然以他的能力在国内可以生活的非常好。即使我一个人在这里打拼,有老公不时帮我出谋划策,我没有觉得孤单和无助,没有他的塑造和策划,
        我可能就是一个只知道混混日子,得过且过的人了。他能容忍我的任性,又会在适当的时候点拨我,引导我,激励我。如果没有他强有力的后盾支持,我很难有好的心态去准备,如果没有他,我也不会胆敢拒绝一个 offer 而开车横穿美国大陆( 这是我的梦想,老公帮我实现了这个梦想)。其实他并不希望我过早的找到工作,更希望我有多的时间去了解这个社会。
        老公有句话非常有道理,我们两个人就象是在攀岩,一个人只有站在另一个人的肩上向上攀登,才能立的稳,攀的高。
        感谢上苍,让我们在适当的时候相识,相知,相爱,并能同舟共济,携手走过风雨路。
        • 说得好!
        • If you are not forced to do it,all you did is your "choice" ,your souce of joy,that's very good.比你找到offer更值得羡慕的是你的family。祝福你。
        • Interesting & brave! - What's the most interesting thing during your U.S. adventure?
          • 美国特别适合自助游,高速公路四通八达,而且标识特别清楚,跟着路标跑准没错。西部几乎没有什么收费口,而从中部到西部,收费口渐增,最贵的是从 New Jersy 到 New York 那个隧道最贵而且还堵的厉害。
            地图都是免费的,州和州之间都有 visitor center,可以索取免费的旅游资料,象旅店的折扣券,很管用的,有 free 的 coffee,和休息的场所。除了吃我不太满意外,行、住、玩都没有问题。碰到的美国人大都比较友好,还告诉我们如何撇开收费的路口。颇为感慨的是哪怕是一个很小的小镇,都有中国人的足迹。好莱坞的摄影场,去亲身体会电影的场面;神奇的大峡谷,大地象是裂开般,colorado river 从中穿过;las vegas 不愧为赌场,无处不在赌,连吃饭的地方都不放过。 7 月 4 日在美国的St.Louis( 百威啤酒的总部,也是当年西部开发开拔的地方)度过,看到不少漂亮的MM 和英俊的GGDD,老美也爱凑热闹,跑到Missippi 河边看烟火。华盛顿很美,尤其是夜晚,不很喜欢纽约,太脏又乱,开车的人动不动就按喇叭,一点都不懂礼貌。
            我喜欢边开车边游览的感觉,很自由。
            • Wow, what a feeling when a dream came ture! Thanks for sharing.
    • congratulation!!!!thanks for your experince!
    • 恭喜!两人间的相互鼓励真是很神奇的。祝你们幸福。
      • 谢谢!前些天,和老公在电话里,还感叹这点,映象最深刻的不是什么奢侈的玩乐,而是在曲折和情绪低糜时,两个人仍旧能牵手度过的日子。
        • 经过困难洗礼的爱情仿佛就是精雕细刻过的钻石,才会有璀璨持久的光芒。
    • Great! Does your nickname mean "wanna reunion"?
      • Yes,cause he is still in China, but he would come soon.
        • It will be good for both of you.
