November came...

More than two months passed since I came to N.Y.

In October, it was a terrible month for me as I had no time to sleep well actually because I had to prepare for my job hunting in Boston. I was so nervous even though I made a great effort to keep myself calm but I wasn't able to do that in fact because of the huge stress beyond my imagination.

It was a funny thing that I couldn't come up with the appropriate word to write down in my resume in Japanese. I really tried to find refined and formal words in Japanese.
I didn't know the exact reason why I wasn't able to figure out what words to use in order to express my real motivation for each company.

Finally, I gave up thinking about that only by myself.
Actually it was too late to purse someone's support to succeed in my job-hunting.
But I really wanted to do as much things as I could in order not to feel regrettable.

I appreciated it that many friends helped me, taking a lot of time for me.
One of my friends gave me lots of valuable advise from Taiwan through Skype.
Another friend staying in Japan had my essay modified and told me what was the good expression in the resume just to pass the first step in which people in the company judged our resume online and gave the permission to go thorough next step to some of applicants.

Even though I knew the person being familiar with the specific companies at which I hoped to work and whom my friend introduced to me through the Internet, he helped me with a great wider mind.

Let me just say" Thank you so much".

If I say honestly, I can't say that my job-hunting was succeeded although I got one permission from IT company, but I could say with my great confidence that I was able to have the valuable experience like I could make full use of the knowledge and the skill I learned through the job-hunting in next job-hunting coming next summer .


If I challenge something difficult like it will change my way to my future, there are more people who try to help me with their kindness than I imagine.

Sometimes a person hesitates to ask something to the people he knows even though it is his significant thing.
Through my stay in USA, I feel that such hesitation might be based on Japanese cultural behavior, especially related with the idea"Omoiyari".
Even though I am here in N.Y, in many times, I often get unsure whether I should ask my friends for help,even seeming to be a small stuff because I consider too much what they feel when I pursue their help.

I would like to try not to think things too much and to keep myself confident, looking forward to my next moment filled with great hope.
