I thought I had about two more weeks to go when I published the last post about Google PM Certificate, well that’s where I was in the course when I did the first post about the topic on May 10. However, the closer I got to the end, the more I wanted to just finish it. Good thing I did it on May 19! What a relief! Why did I feel that way? The fact was, the last course had 8 peer graded assignments and I took these assignments seriously. In the previous courses there were a lot of graded quizzes that somehow I found them easy enough. If I didn’t get over 90%, I would actually redo them to make sure I understand the concepts. With peer graded assignments or any writing actually, I held myself to higher standards. Instead of spending an hour on the assignment, I often spent way longer. So much so that I had no weekend last week and this week, I have to make up some time for my internship job! I got all fired up and completely drained my mental capacity. This is not a self congratulating post. Even before I formally completed the course, there was one section about job hunting. There are several sites that I never heard of that I am now eligible for. They help you with resume writing, interview preparation and I believe they also have recruiters that actively look at the pool of graduates. It's all great… but it has to wait. My internship is almost done and I want to do a reasonable job. I have a family that I desperately want to visit. Thanks to COVID I haven’t seen my folks for almost two years. Finally, just thinking about job hunting makes me tired already~ I am sure there will be another posting on all these job sites. Stay tuned.
Update 11/18/2020 - my windows got re-installed... 11/03/2020 It would never happen to me. How could it be? I have been preparing for this. I have been waiting for this. Then, it happened to me. On this unforgettable Monday, Murphy's laws - whatever can go wrong, will go wrong - came true and true. I have gone through two phone interviews with a company. At 1 PM, there was a video interview scheduled for 2 hours, with 3 people. I knew it’s the last stage. I am this close. I tried to soak up as much React, a web front end language as much as possible for this day. Disaster struck #1: The day before, I got a phone call from my sister that my dad was in a motorcycle accident. All of his left side is scratched up. I spent two hours in the morning with my dad, my mom, and my sister to better assess the situation before the interview. I am upset that I wasn’t there to help and that he didn’t call anyone for help at the scene. Disaster struck #2: It’s almost 1 PM. I made sure
