I need to learn to be humble again

August 24, 2019

Introduction

It is my personal finance research. I chose to start personal finance research last November, and then learned that frugality should be my best choice, cut off all relative's emotional connections, focus on my own business. I do not want those depressed stuff and try to find ways to cut off. I do not want anything in my life, no material things, I can live happy and healthy and smart.

My email

I wrote an email to reflect on my thought process. I know that it is tough business world. No one will pay attention to my writing, since I like to write and express myself.

HI, xxx, 

I read your email. It is such great to hear from you about the result about onsite interview. I definitely like the whole experience of interview, including final result. I am just hunger for success, and so happy to meet those hard working engineers in Facebook. 

I wish that I could have impressed them with my curiosity, and quick-to-learn, sports-style problem solving and coding approach. It is very challenging job to work on big project like Instagram, ads team, work for Facebook in general. I am looking for the best opportunity, and also Facebook works so hard to identify who has potential. We all take calculated risk to figure out best for us. 

My boss - owner of company XX xxxxxing sent the email once a few years ago with all kinds of paper piling on the table to the office, remind us to clean up, throw away things when we moved the office. He told me a few times how to work better with young people in the office. 

I enjoy my current job, and also I enjoy to work on more algorithm and data structure practice, 

Feel free to reach me any time if I have chance to be interviewed. I will be very happy to apply again. 

Also if you can share me more about feedback, it will be great help for me as well. 


Sincerely, 

jianmin chen

It is so important for me to review my own thought process. I just reviewed the onsite interview, and then I noticed that I was so rude, in my thinking process; I did not send an email in Sunday August 18 or August 19 to notify the recruiter that I came to San Francisco as planned. I did not think for others, specially a big company to work together closely. 

I decided to change the blog title from "Look for fair chance" to "I need to learn to be humble again". 

I also decide to start to learn how to be a project manager through youtube.com. I like to be a person who knows how and what to communicate, and be able to allow people smart and successful people in Facebook feel comfortable to work closely with me. 

I like to continue to advance my algorithm and data structure practice, and really make it my hobby and good topics for me to learn how to write as a writer.
