(To those who are in search of job or have been through the same process back then)

Every now and then there is a voice saying getting hired is a no-nounder such a market situation. Yes, it is hard, but there is a way.Successful job seekers (well, job hunter to be pricise in thissituation) know even in tough economic times, there is opportunity. Youjust have to dig it a bit deeper, or just one inch deeper than yourpeers. The following threads shows how it is going to work.

The following sessions are divided into four core parts (bulletpoint clickable).

  • Part I - explains basic things to avoid, and basic skillsets to acquire before a real job searching process
  • Part II- tells some most frequent situation to which most graduates encounter.Making the right decision would end up saving a ton of time andprogress towards your career goal
  • Part III- dives into the evangelizing some of the most innovative tool forcareer advancement, over a long term basis. The immediately effectcould also be seen in the short term
  • Part IV- advance and jump to another curve by effectively planning your careerright from the very start, from being an undergrad to aspiring for anMBA, from MBA to an ex-MBA career path, and etc
Here, based on a variety of tricks, techniques and solid skills most in the college or even working should know, I would use my favorite Top 10 methodsto ensure you won’t miss the focus and save time by jumping ahead ofthe curve or going backwards. The table of content would also help tolocate where the focus lies, dependant on your career goal and how youlook at it in the near/long term.

Typically, the following content applies based on my understanding of Finance, Consulting and Fortune 500 types of job. If there is any discrepancy, you are welcome to email me or comment following thread below.

Below is a more concise table of content.

    • Q2: It is not a hiring season yet, where and how can I find a job?
    • Q3: My CV looks great, and I come from a target school. But, why I am not selected even for the first round?

PART II#7 The biggest dilemma -  master? delay graduation date to catch another hiring season?
  • Is Master really for you, or are you really ready for a Master?
  • Master still good
    • Q1: Is it worthwhile to delay my education just to catchanother hiring season? This way it makes me look like an fresh grad andmy opportunity will be boosted?
    • Q2: Location matters?
      • I am a native Chinese/other nationalities, I just graduated or onthe process to graduation in the US/UK/AU/Other countries, should Icome back to work in my home country or try to stay when theopportunity from both sides look slim.
      • I am a Chinese, does location matter alot? What’s my advantage?

个人认为拥有属于自己的生意才是最真实的。给人打工是绝对办不到的。工字不出头,出头就要入土为安了。要真正实现财务自由,就必须要有自己的生意。只要找到一个好的平台,就可以放手一搏了。打工一辈子是在为人家做,而且你的付出永远多于回报,不论你有多努力,你的回报也是有限的,你的收入也不会增加太多。所以说选择比努力更重要。。现有一个很好的生意平台,不需要销售。欢迎有梦想,要改变自己的朋友来电: 我们可以互相交流,互相分享信息,一起拼搏
