I've wasted time to wait for the recruit market on Mar 8 and Mar 10. No good job or mighty company. Sent 137 resume and application letter on web:www.cjob.com. 10+ interview phone call in a week, but I just went to half of them.

Gerber far east is a Hongkong company. A family corporation. They mainly deal with the daily appliance. Such as the tableware, cutlery, bathrole, porcelain, Hotel appliance, etc. The 3 issues were most attractive to me:
1, Hongkong background
2, Olympic relations
3, Fix salary.

Ms Chan, the manager of the Administration interviewed me in the first round. It's simple, and my oral English is so fluent then I passed and went into next round to talk with a vice manager of the Export department.

The airconditioner was set very cold then I who was in a short shirt shivered and even could not speak well. But the second interview was also an easy one. Nicole Huang, a thin girl with a raucous voice, just wanted to know my sales experience.

And the next afternoon I talked with the boss, a lady who is almost 60 years old but u could not find the aged winkle on her face. She is certainly a woman who had took good care of herself in past decades. Becky Fu, is an uncompromising woman and highfaluting boss. She fear the staff could not work employable, or the elite would run out when they are strong enough. She had to handle too many trifles herself and even didn't think that was a waste of her precious time. She has worked  in that industry for 40 years, and she said no one could deceive her in that business. Is she a Hongkong Carly S. Fiorina? I'm not sure her educational background at the moment, but I know what I should do in the probation is just learn and stick strictly in the regulations of her company.

I didn't sleep well in the vain days that I was unemployed. The instable, poor and dull months make me depraved. I could not make a routine life, and was addicted to the PC and Internet. This life style was unheathy and could ruin a man's life.

Now I have the opportunity to change my life. Work and rest, learn and practice. Have annoyance and also have fun. Just like when I was in Maersk, to work with so many female. The difference is I'm now not so sensitive about the inessential affairs. I will concentrate on my job and lear English, learn the process of the manufacture of porcelain or the other products, lear the export process.

More power to myself and engrave these credendum in mind:
-- Always have respect for people -- those you work for, especially those who work for you and anyone else you meet along the way.

-- Never expect things to be given to you. Life isn't a free load. Good fortune has much more personal value if you've had to work for it.

-- Let disappointments or setbacks become motivaters for self-improvement. Don't blame others for things you can't control.

-- Set the bar high for your achievement goals, but make patience one of your tools for getting there.

-- Be a good listener. No matter how much you have learned from books, friends and mentors, there's always more knowledge out there for the picking, so don't stop learning.

How to set a regular schedule when u r broke and looking for a job?

I was ever good at English, but my life was never stable. The bad-pay job and huge debt almost beated me.  This spring festival was the most upset one in my past 26 years life. I'm the most clever and best educated one in my family, but I could not be the expected one. I disappointted my father and the other eldership.

 I've wasted 5 years in the university, and only half used the time in high school. 2.5 years after graduated from the university now, I achieve nothing but have a completely idle year.

I spent so many time to think what I've done and what I should do in the future and right now. But I could not just proceed day after day. That's always a temporary endeavor.

No saving, no job, decreasing friends, only my father are the constant backup to me. I'm so sorry but I just can't stir myself to pursuit the outstanding real-life achievement. The ruined university life, the wasted time and money, the deserted major, the unstable character, the greedy desire and the poor ability may draw me to the hell.

But guilt and shame are destructive feeling. The time and energy spent on them is just a waste. Suppose you have hurt your beloved, self-abuse accomplishes nothing. Instead, accept the fact that you have make the mistakes, and make up your mind to be more sensitive in the future.

So, make up an effective schedule and stick at it. Find the essential part in your life and put all your resources on it.

It is much easier to say than to do. I know everything especially the theory, but just the unstable life make a coward helpless.

Anyway, I could always try my best when I have a job.

But when could I find my ideal job if I still indulge further and further?
