Last Sat.

Last Sat. morning, I went to a finance professorial semiar, in fact, it is a recruitment meeting. More than ten companies are there. I was told that the meeting was going to begin at 9am, hence, I got up early that morning. But, but, when I arrived there, I thought I went to the wrong place. There were only a few persons decorating the hall. It was five mins to 9am. Then what XL talked at the last Toastmaster meeting came into my mind, “Singaporean never being punctual”. That day I did have a clear idea about that. The meeting start at 10. I knew that being late is not a patent of Chinese. But what confuse me is that Singaporean seem live at a much faster pace than Chinese. How can that happen? Any way that is the truth.

Back to the point. I dropped at several stops. What caught my eye is that, most of the companies have a department called 'Chinese Service' something like that. So, I asked what's the responsibility of it and what kind of service they offer. A senior from Deloitte explained to me that it is somekind like cooperate. The next sentence hurted me, "Chinese branch doesn't have enough people so we have to send people there to help them." How come a big country doesn't have enough smart people while a city country have? "It is because that different people have different experience and tend to look from different angles." May be that is part of the reason but it did call for us to deep thought.

Deutsche Bank seems good to me.

I didn't
even bring a copy of CV with me but still benefited from it.
