So. I should finish online application for CAE, NI, CMC electronics, Teradyne, Gennum, Stryker, Analog Devices, future electronics, ati, matrox, omnitech labs, abbott, compuware, emploiquebec, superjob.net over the weekend.

I find it funny how I can walk into a restaurant asking for employment and get it right there. It surprises me and throws my schedule off guard. I was expecting interviews within the span of 2 weeks so I can have other options from other companies to consider.

Gabrielle mentioned that I have a very confident tone at the end of the interview. She likes that… Those endless nights of practices to lower my tone of voice really works !! But I think it has to do with the fact that I do not try to hide my intentions and I am not clinging that much to this opportunity. I told her directly that, I am looking into engineering jobs as well, but for the moment, this is what I get. However, I have to be careful when using that on guys as they will sense danger/challenged from someone more confident than them who are younger.

I've been trying to confirm a theory that I have on people for a while. But because I was in Taiwan, in a different culture, I could not really test that out as no one is used to the challenging confidence. Girls are shy and guys are wusses.
Here, I find, that the more you make them feel you don't care about them accepting the fact you hand them, the more they accomodate for your needs. Alot of time, I find myself saying: “What do you want?” “Ok, this is what I am going to do, so see you next time.”

And I get girls/guys trying to find jobs for me… and dance partners… I told a girl I am trying out with that I will give somone else a first choice before her and she started struggling to keep me to herself. You women.

It's too much. Or I am just probablly way over my head in lala land.
