August 20 is an amazing day. It seems to be even far away from my life even now. However, it did happen and would definitely affect my whole life! I just can’t tell you how excited I was when I went out Mr.Leach’s office in 36th floor of the nationwide headquarters in columbus, ohio. I can’t express how I became relieved when I finally learn a lot of things from Ms.Meg and Ms.Liu. In short, it’s a crazy day!
The most important things that I learned from Mr.Leath are as follows:
- Age dosen’t really matter!
- Be well-prepared when you begin to start the career!
- Tech is the essential base and other skills can learn later!
- Choose the things you are passionate on and just do it. Do not care time too much!
- Find someone you trust that can help you develop your career road!
- Be on different roles in company and gain different skill sets!
- Small company gives big picture but large company teaches you the system!
- Attitude toward the job is important!
- Finance work in high positions are more!
The most fantastic takeaways from the conversation with Ms.Meg and Ms.Liu are as follows:
- Never push in email with officer and teacher!
- After meet, send an email to follow up!
- Maintaining the relationship through asking questions, sending greeting emails in festivals and updating yourself!(Note: once per two month woils be fine)
- The whole point of maintaing a relationship is getting but giving also!
- Attend the events holding by companies earlier and be a observer!
- Keep in touch with the recruiters!
