Journal!!

Remember the day I arrived at Taiwan in the evening, I told myself I had to get back to USA once having something in my resume. But, I needed to finish my military service first. During the serving time,  I've followed Chris Huang's suggestion to get some Financial certificates, which are approved by our Government. Although they couldn't be a significant, or valuable weapon for me to trigger a war, they are the minimum requirements for me to join the war. I, indeed, took and pass some of them, but failed the most important one. Therefore, I lost the chance to apply a position in equity firms. During the time I'd been looking for an equity research assistant, I got refused due to lack of the one I failed. Because of it, I, in turn, started to look for a position in banking industry. Luckily, I received an offer from Chinatrust with an acceptable pay as well as a well-established 6 months' training program. I've learned a lot of knowledge from it. At the end of training program, I took the final presenting test, which I've had to pick one of reports that I wrote in the program; thereafter, I had to present it with sufficient information, in order to answer questions that exam's committee would ask. If I couldn't answer them correctly, I would probably fail the training program. all of us were working hard to check, to ask, and to discuss "what-if scenarios" that would happen in the final test. One week later, I received a pass notification from HR and was assigned to one of RMs, whom I respect very much. Since then, I've worked overtime almost everyday.
