Job offer, Yeah!
Thursday, March 18, 2004
I went to see Dr. Giuse this afternoon for an interview. After i-am-not-sure-how-long minutes of pleasant talk, I was offered the position. I couldn't believe Dr. Giuse made the decision on the spot. I'm very thankful for what he did and am exicted to start working on the exciting health care project.
Thank Liguo for his support. Life just takes turns sometimes unexpectedly. I never imagined the life change in current stage of my life happened in Starbucks in one afternoon. About two weeks ago, I bumped into Liguo when he took a break during his intense disertation writing. He found a job in First Boston in NYC as a financial analyst. We sit down and talked about the job hunting frustration and eventual success. Liguo assured me it will happen and will happen rather quickly. He is absolutely right. I put myself out there and showed my enthusiasm to the position applied, there I am! I appreciate what Liguo did. Thank you. :) This weekend will be Liguo's farewell party before he heads up to north. I will thank him in person on Saturday.
This unexpected turn also happened right after I finished reading What should I do with my life? by Po Bronson. For numerous times, this very Reality Book brought tears, excitement, hope, courage and purpose of life to me. There are so much to learn. I realized what I need to be successful, to be a leader. I learned the importance of being humble and friendly. Sounds too simple? Yeah. Unfortunately, lots of things in life need to be learned from role model and practice, not just theory. The valuable lessons in the book definitely gave me a clear vision about who I want to become. The new work environment will be THE perfect place to practice.
I also had a weird dream last night about losing my laptop on a train and the efforts finding it was futile. I woke up this morning feeling upset. But I took it as an auspicious sign. The interview and offer proved it. :) Thank God it all happened.
I called Dad, Mom and sisters to tell them the great news. They are all pumped. The next step is trying to get them come here to attend the Commencement. I hope we have enough time. Cross fingers.
It's been a good day. I'm exactly 24 years and 3 months old today.
