Trustworthy!?!

From Joe do therefore Joe thinks

LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking site launched in May 2003 mainly used for professional networking.

My current boss found me on Linkedin, and added me to his network saying "Since you are a person I trust" in the invitation, I was shocked, because I've listed 3 of my present jobs and resume on it. He knows I was doing other stuff other than my full time job as a bioinformatics engineer but since I am such a proactive worker. I can always finished my tasks on time and ahead of schedule. My boss have no problem with me doing other stuff. I'm sort of think that he actually encourage me to do so. Where can you find a better boss than him?

Cagic II

What I've learned from Tom, Tom is a sophisticated guy, he is way more sensitive about a lot of things than a lot of American, I've ever met.
Tom is also a good photographer maybe that explains why he is sensitive to his surroundings.

1. Tom started his own company because he wants a break from Corporate America therefore he became a Life Style Entrepreneur working for himself.
2. Don't burn bridges, because of Tom's networking skills he got very many co-workers from AOL comes back and hire him for jobs, so having good networking is definitely important!
3. User interface is very important..
4. Tom wishes that he didn't worry money too much when he was young, because he could have traveled a lot of places and had a lot of fun in the college.

Interview with FalconStor Taiwan (APEC HQ)

When I first got the email from Falcon, I didn't really know who they are, until one day I was looking at their company website, and notice IBM bought the company and they do a lot of business with IBM, immediately I get on 104 to apply for the job again (they invited me to go for interview, but I didn't answer their call or reply their invitation)

background on FalconStor, they are the Forbes Magazine 5th out of 25 fastest growing company in U.S. which is like hugely sucessful and they sell storage software and hardware..

so my job description is talking to all the pissed off customers, I meant the technical support for all of Asia and off hours in North America.. it sounds like a tough job and it's very stressful...

so in the interview process, the manager came in and talking to me.. oh boy isn't she hot? and tall? she on her high heels is probably 182cm..
she was chatting with me asked me to talk about myself in Chinese, then all of sudden she wanted me say exactly what I was saying in English..
lol it's like a piece of cake..
so we starting to have English conversation about me and the job..
It went well, I sort of enlightened her with the "Cloud Computing", that I was surprised she didn't know what I was saying..
Anything it went well, 2 days later I got the offer which is 30% more than what I was making, but I rejected them..
because I got a lot better offers coming in..

Interview at Yahoo! Kimo

At first, Yahoo Kimo called me and made an appointment on Wednesday June 18th at 1900, but the human resource guy was sick and did not tell anyone that i was coming, so they missed me for that appointment, so the next day i emailed and called the HR guy and we have an appointment on Friday the 20th.

This time I took the Taiwan High Speed Railway and MRT to Taipei for the interview, because I was just sick of driving. It was quite fast and convenient.

So I call the manager's cell phone and went directly into the meeting room and then he starts to ask me questions, but I thought there were suppose to be some tests I need to take, but anyway....

So he starts to ask me some random questions about my resume, programming, and anti-spam questions, he had me draw some diagram explaining what's DomainKeys, SPF, Python Scripts, and trouble shooting techniques I will do when I encounter troubles in linux administration. Shell Scripting, Hash Tables, Sorting etc..
I think I did well and honest. Stuff other than Hash table and sorting I could not answer, but I do heard of them.. Well It was quite a brain storming, because I felt brain dead afterward...
