2013-5-4 Good Friend, Great Weather, Continuing my reading


During this great day with great weather, I hang out with Julian in downtown Vancouver. We had lunch at VietSub Vietnamese Restaurant. Below is my food picture.

Julian is very brave to pick up a job at a house that rehabilitates pedophiles. Yesterday he worked in a graveyard shift from 12am to 8am. And had not sleep before meeting me in Vancouver downtown.

He told me that he got jobs at Wendy's and also at a Japanese Restaurant in Burnaby. Julian told me that "It is just by luck. Simply put in a couple resumes into different restaurant, then you can get a job." 

I think he meant that a job can only be obtained by approaching the employers and networking that you want to work for as shown in the wordle below by magma.ca/~raksim/jobsearch.htm. 

Being proactive, one of the most important characteristic of an effective person, is important in job search and everything else that involves social interaction.

After a long good hang-out, tonight I shall work on learning the research data analysis from the book "Experimental Design: with Application in Management, Engineering, and the Sciences". Data analysis has been long and tedious. Quoting a friend, "engineering is all about beautiful trends and patterns of data." As easy as it may sound like, creating such trends and patterns is another story. 

I shall sign off for today. Cheers!
