Finally I made up my mind to pursue my MBA dream. Actually still wondering whether I should switch to MIS or not. You know, MIS combines management skills with IT knowledge, which would be helpful in job hunting. And it also asks for GMAT score.

Okay, let me simplified my working experience in Toronto first. Actually it really depends on luck. After I took those exams in computer software, like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, I was so upset that, 'cause I didn't get a good mark, and I thouhgt I failed. By the way, they also tested on vocalburary, math, ( so simple that as long as u graduated from middle school, u could do it, without opening your eyes ) , typing speed, article corrections, mainly on grammar, which required some writing skills, ( pls put some efforts on business writing), finally personal interview. I felt fine for face to face interview, 'cause I was quite confident on that. But, all in all, I felt bad. As I didn't prepare for those software well before the exam, I didn't get a high mark. Dear friends, the higher score you got in the exam, the sooner you could get a working opportunity, and the higher pay you would get, keep it in mind.

To my surprise, one week later, the agency called me, just after I had an interview with an advertising company, which offered me a job. It's a kind of sales work, which required a lot of outdoor activities, and was filled with lots of pressure. The basic salary was very low, mainly depending on the sales volume you got. When Andrea asked me whether I was available next day, for a temporary job in a mutual fund company, and it's about one month work, I felt my voice trembling. Without a second hesitation, I said yes, and didn't ask for salary. She asked me to write down the address and appear there on time. She also told me it's a good company and I may get a chance to work permanently there,, sth like that. I didn't care how long I could there, I didn't care how much the wage was, the only thing made me happy was, I would get CANADIAN WORKING EXPERIENCE, which was so important on finding a job. I cancelled my plan to work in that advertising company, and went to the company half an hour earlier than the appointment tme.

Then I worked there almost one year, until I quited the job last week.

Well, just wanted to help friends with similiar background as me, following is the infor of my agency, wish all of you good luck:

Name: Quantum
Tel: 416-366-3660
Address: 9th flr, 55 University Ave, Toronto
( It's very close to the intersection of King Str and University Ave. You could get off at the subway stop, St Andrew )

As Andrea who was my consultant resigned, you could ask for anyone.

It could find a lot of financial jobs for you.

Well, stop here for today. Talk to you guys later.

It's a sunny day here in Ottawa, and I am facing the beautiful Ottawa River. I could see the tiny houses on the other side of the river, maybe they are french guys' houses, I think. 'cause it's Quebec area.

Take care, Lumlum ^_^更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Just quited the job, and would study full time, for GMAT. Have to get a good mark to get into the good business school, or I will choose MIS...

I don't know where finally I will settle down, or which school finally I will enrol, and I just follow my feeling, folllow.... u got it?

Pls don't laugh at me.... xixi,,,,,

Wish me good luck.

Your words about GZ reminded me so many good memories there. Yes, GZ, an old story, sth in the last century. Well, when everything is over, painful experience will be sweet memory. I believe that. Now I could face all the good and bad memories bravely and won't be afraid of anything....

By the way, I hate Fa kai, which is so crowded. I would rather gather with friends, to play Karaokay, or play Tuo La Ji... Though I couldn't remember cards, though my skills are so bad,,, I just enjoy it....

Now my life is so quite, comparing with those noisy days. But I enjoy it too. Everyone will enjoy different feeling and different taste for life in different stage, especially for those people with both sides of character in peace and out-going, like me.

Tell you one true thing just happened on Dec 23, 2000, which was a Thurseday. I would remember forever. Why I could remember so clearly just because it's our company's Christmas Party on that day. Everyone seemed so happy to expect the party in the morning. Suddenly the manager asked us to have an urgent meeting. We could find all the managers were so sad before starting the meeting. Later he told us, a young, on her age of 25, who just sat besides me, who came in the day before, who was very outgoing and enjoyed life, who was sick for some days, passed away on Wednesday night...... All of us were so upset and shocked, especially me. I could remember the topics we discussed, about her vocation to the southern america, about work and life, but now, and forever she won't come and talk to me anymore.... She felt so uncomfortable to come to work, but as she had asked for one week off alreday, and she told me she couldn't afford to ask for another week off, so she came in. All of us persuaded her to go back home to rest more, but she didn't leave until 5pm. Then in the evening she couldn't breath, and passed away.... Ai, life is so weak.. It's a real story... Just not long time ago, around me.

All of us should cherish life, cherish what we have now, no matter it's a hard life, cherish the ones we love, 'cause we really don't know what will happen tomorrow.

Don't regreat what happened yesterday, cherish today, and look at tomorrow...

Wish you have a wonderful life.
