Female president of drift on Wall Street

Kam-ethnic sound, Chengdu, Sichuan, and in 1992 the American University of Washington doctoral degree in comparative literature. Graduation means unemployment in the financial know nothing about her circumstances, their own thing but the stubborn spirit of 7 to enter the Wall Street. 3 years, she became the top three Wall Street headhunting firm’s vice president. In 2000 the United States to create its own focus group.
I am 13 years of higher education, and finally from the United States, the University of Washington College of Liberal Arts Dr. graduation. But I have learned the professional it is very difficult job, and I immediately lost their jobs. My husband and I study in the United States for many years, with a high level of scholarship, but after the arrival of children, if we do not work on the economy stretched. The most difficult, I had 3 and jobs: two tutor, as well as restaurants get bit.
I have decided for a living law, to Wall Street to find a job, the purpose is simple: Since the decision to stay in the United States, it should enter the U.S. mainstream society - the financial sector. But I know nothing about the financial. I Shulgin land to the well-known text of financial market information and personnel management consulting firm called in after seven days, I call almost every day the past, the operator heard my voice pretty annoying. However, the Employment Manager Mitchell either meeting or in the call, the last time he went to London has been. Whether true or false, in a word, he did not have time to me. However, this is the last time saved me.I am suddenly struck with a telephone: Please linked to the switchboard operator access to the company president. This “audacious in the extreme” the move has given me a chance of survival. Tel actually had. President, secretary received my phone so I waited. Then came soon resonant baritone: “This is Donald. I can do for you?”
Moment, I have prepared more than one weeks, then tell the whole abuse. I told him that in a tense state of his name I could not even have heard of clearance; I have no business school graduate, but I have a doctorate in literature, literature is a science, I understanding; In the process of getting a Ph.D., I know how to find and solve problems. At the same time, I told him I was a female, is a minority, I endured many hardships and difficulties, they did not let me down, but I have become stronger. I also said: “There is a woman land a sense of fortitude, than to deal with any eventuality in life. Even if you do not answer repeated employment manager, I have determined not to back down. You can see my determination and courage.” Finally, I added a special, although I do not have banking experience, but because I have these advantages,I urge the company must provide me with a chance of success, or at least let me get a teaching and restaurants in addition to working outside the mainstream of social work experience. “What do you lose? Hired during my salary? You can not pay me!”
Later, after I was employed, the president also often recalled that he had heard my breath over the phone with fluent English, said these words, very shocked and immediately wanted to employ me, “because you are a non - to the life of compromise, but our company is in need of such a person. “

And president of Qualcomm End phone half an hour, that the secretary of the Employment Manager Mitchell made a phone call, let me the next day to the company to attend the Chloe Paddington Handbag.
I can not describe my feelings at that time, I sat down slowly sliding carpet, so that the brain uninhibited. I think I 7 years in the United States to study all suffered emotional and economic suffering, immediately will become the past. On in my imagination, I also made a big mistake: I forgot how to prepare the next day should be the “interview.” Others agreed to give me a chance to interview, did not tell me a job. But at that time I could not even text Shulgin company specific do not know!
I took the yellow from the wardrobe cheap suit, but also to find a pair of earrings set in the ear, and 9.99 U.S. dollars to buy a pair of white high-heeled shoes. I wear on the body, citing Mitchell secretary later told me the respect:she almost dropped the phone!
I really do not know, from the first interview began, I set foot on a long road to the interview. Finally, I experienced a 7 interview before entering the company.
The first “interview” I am the person is Tom. He asked me to start several aspects of government bonds, of course I. He looks a little bit surprised, Dayton for a while, he had to tell me their own four children, I would jokingly say to him my teacher, Dr. anecdotal story, he listened with relish, even laughing. So that we talked for two hours, he left when told me that he will be happy to chat with me.
The second “interview” is in the afternoon the next day. I went to the same conference room be patient.After work, I only know that the ocean into the Wall Street firms, 78 job interviews are very common, in order to enter such a Goldman Sachs or Salomon Brothers investment bank, is some 20 times the interview! Later president told me that the marathon is an interview before the inauguration of “compulsory” because Wall Street were the lack of patience is a virtue, the test of patience is necessary. In addition, if 10 people “interview” you, a person you feel uncomfortable, you will not be admitted.
The second interviewer Mike let me wait 45 minutes. He and I talked about 1 hour and 55 minutes, all with non-professional. We talked about Chen Chong, the Gulf War, I and his school, Fuzhou and Chinatown, the gap between dreams and reality. Finally, we chat a passion of emotion, when I left his face still hung an expression of something more to say.
I am very excited to know nothing about professional knowledge in the case of the smooth passage of the two interviews, is a good communication skills and interesting conversation helped me!
3rd “interview” is the 7th time in the most formal. Interviewer is an elite - Roland.He asked me the purpose of his inauguration, plans, short-term goals, long-term goal, I was unable to answer, but I am in good faith, he questioned whether the executive search firm and immoral company? He was very surprised my ignorance and bold, but also in his answer, I know what is headhunting. It is Wall Street the significance of human resources, but also know I will be a great career, however.
No. 4 interview, I did not have a chance to see the interviewer. Because she deliberately forgotten in the conference room I have an entire afternoon. Finally, the secretary told me that the interviewer and hiring manager Mitchell because there are contradictions, I simply do not want their views, but said she did not have any opinion.
5th interviews, I have a little bit impatient and anxious nervous. Because finally turn to the Employment Manager Mitchell interview me! The result was that I wait for an entire day, fast work, the Clerk said that Mitchell did not come, arranged for the two employees “interview” I, is behind her trim suit and the Bill & looked handsome Japanese Japanese.

Then Bill started to ask me the financial expertise, from bonds, equities, foreign exchange, financial institutions to distinguish between banks. He asked very detailed, and even asked the United States before the names of 10 major banks, business, the same with the different offices and their respective advantages.
In fact, in the past two days, I have in the Harvard library to find on the history of Wall Street investment banks and the information read several books. Also like to learn English, like the information recorded in the book “rote”, so I have been able to chat interviewer some problems. It is obvious that they had heard I know nothing about, see, I made rapid progress can not help but to my memory, learning and showing appreciation for expression.

Waiting for an interview days notice, and I another case, because they do not know when the interview to drag, but I do not know what the outcome. When the secretary said that the interview would also like to push into next week, I have been to suppress the outbreak of the anxiety. Hanging up the phone, I told myself, must not be hanged in a tree! I decided to go to Cambridge District Xie hotel marketing manager candidates. I first came to the newspaper found that this vacancy. An hour later, I got the job.
Xie hotel to work in the first 5 days Mitchell secretary received the phone message, informed me two days later to the company “to continue the interview.”The next morning, I have not had time to go out, Mitchell’s phone calls, and an irresistible voice overbearing.
“We want you to come today. Today is the last interviews, seven employees of the interview you, but also give you a chance to interview us.”
Tell him I have a job? I hesitated. Mitchell said: “Although I have not talked directly with you, but next to look at, you are a good material: You can accept the cold; you can anti-defensive to the offensive; but also to find their own way. I interview you colleagues and the president discussed the matter, has the sincerity to engage you. Hotel work of the speech - you did not come to the United States stem the hotel, it is not at the end of the road, you have retired 80-year-old can not break, just like my father. “
I turn, how can he know what I am grateful to have found Chloe Paddington Bags?
Later, after work at the company I know that Mitchell, who lives in the hotel. His philosophy of life is: to spend more money more, if we do not spend, it is not earned.
I resigned from the hotel duties. A week later, I put on my first applied to 180 U.S. dollars from the high-end boutiques bought a dark suit with a silver brooch to work.
I think that Wall Street job might be in my life to make the most correct decision. Since then, my life, social status, experience all been improved; more importantly, this experience taught me that knowledge can be converted, studying literature can do management, can go to the design of financial products, be able to follow the talent assessment. Society changed, the occupational structure changed, the emergence of the information industry, knowledge of the explosion, requires us to change. Job search methods, ways to earn a living in the new circumstances have changed. I also learn from experience and job-seekers after the practice was found,Others begged “Let me try it,” this sentence can be traveled the world, it really is very important, because no one will be stubborn refusal to your dedication to fight for their Chloe Paddington Bag .
As a top executive search firm business major, I will be looking at work I think the best to pick out affordable talents fit again. I found that they shared the quality of 4:00, you have these fancy quality headhunting it?

First, the character. Character cheerful, active, not afraid of difficulties, is not afraid of being rejected, the courage to uphold his own views, the courage to admit their mistakes, can get along with others harmoniously, and clear-cut attitude, this is the best interviewer and the company attracted the attention Human Resources Department The.
Secondly, the confidence. Cheerful personality often confidently. Wall Street Securities, a super salesman, in the exam-oriented central bank official told her that the Department of Securities to sell the streets need is Wall Street sell “hot dogs” when the small vendors, on the amplification said: “I need to sell the number of hot dogs? “She was Salomon Brothers Headquarters in New York to sell securities employs!

Third, the conversation to make it clear, but the talk is unforgivable. A question-and-answer, the answer is twice as much time questioning the best; Also, when answering the questions do not, we say they can not clear the answer to this question, or that this issue, please enlighten me how to answer the better; or should we say this is my weaknesses, needs improvement.
Fourth, professional knowledge. According to business success employing the case of view, often in determining the use of a talent, expertise after being placed on the quality of character. Expertise with noble character and clear conversation, often immediately get a second interview opportunities.

A female boss left the company to customers, we started singing laughing.
Anne to the company after a week, is the event of departments to complete a big case, female boss Please weekend evening meals. 10 people just did not expect to sit down in private rooms, female boss provoked attendants stabbed on: how can you not smile when pouring ah? We are on a one-day classes, here we do not face your back? Attendant suddenly flushed, loss together. A la carte, the female boss said that all of you each point one. Anne fear locations deep-fried dough sticks, a salad as soon as they were female boss shouted: eat healthy food, the dishes do not.Other colleagues at the 7788 female boss took the final menu, just point canceled most dishes, and then himself a few. No one called beverages, we desperately tea. Female boss began to tease people in other costume jewelry, saying that this speech heavy accent of Hunan, said that all day dressed goblin-like, but also from to mimic other people’s appearance. This is a food of more than three hours, almost single female boss show.
Anne was aware that the Dayton food and 400 yuan, or count the cost in the department’s. Anne was born cute, female boss quite happy to use, so in addition to the work, but also often to pay for her to handle a variety of water-electricity costs, as well as mortgages and credit card fees.
Anne and departments, most of my colleagues fail to understand is that a monthly income of tens of thousands of female boss, but very much like a small cheap. The former for a while and engage in a credit card promotion, recommended by one person to do card can be a Winnie the Pooh. Female boss of the Gold credit cards, so in order to get the Cubs to their children play, she stared at the hands of people who do card. Several colleagues say that they have been pushed to do the other cards, or feel no need to do cards,There is only one new order to curry favor with her simple-minded to do the annual fee of 100 yuan to the cards, but also specifically to the bank for her to come back from this bear.
Anne determined to leave things to say handmade jewelry. Last week, the manager of the next sector to marry fat wedding invitations, female bosses let Anne go to shopping malls to buy their own eyes the last 500 odd dollars a fruit basin, sector 10 AA system. To the wedding at the scene saw ostentation, my colleagues feel that this gift has been too light on the proposed package of a female boss and then 1,000 yuan red. The next day at work, Anne with the boss said last night sector wedding of Mary did not drink,Red is not her far. Unexpectedly, female bosses face a board, said she is not her own thing, taking into account her a copy. Poor Mary thin salary on such a direct religious ties, have been.
Anne was left natural and unrestrained. Although it is known that work now, but she would prefer the freedom of a breath of fresh air, do not want to spend every day happily.
