I can't believe that I totally forgot this blog. I guess that is because I stopped hunting for job for a while.
Now I have graduated and have moved to Jersey City, which is only a few subway stops away from Manhattan New York.
I have to mention about one person before I report what I have done recently. This person is Eric Cao. He is a very straight forward person. He would express whatever is in his mind to me without any modification. Although I feel being disrespected sometimes, I have to say I learn many things from him. He gives me pressure and advice to learn, to grow up, and to live and think like a mature person. I am very grateful to him.
Below are my weaknesses in general:
1. Messy, not organized
2. Doesn't plan forehead, not enough pre-action
3. Not purpose-oriented, give up very easily
4. Doesn't think hard enough
5. Not responsible
Below are my weaknesses in job hunting:
1. Language, communication skill
2. Weak resume
3. Not focus on one area
4. Not enough programming knowledge
5. Not prepared for interview

What should I do to improve myself in general?
1. Keep my room and my desk clean and organized
2. Plan things ahead and stick to schedule
3. Think about what I need and figure out a way to get it
4. Try to be responsible. Admit the mistakes I make
5. Know what to do, learn to reject people and don't waste time on unnecessary stuff

What should I do to improve myself in career?
1. Practice English. Watch English Talk Show, Friends, News. Read English Books. Go out and meet ppl and talk to them (using meetup.com).
2. Write different resumes specific to different positions
3. Read more about Hedge Fund news, website and books
4. Study VBA
5. Practice for interview
