Go Hard or Go Home

Currently, I am busy writing the term paper of strategic management and Marketing Plan of product management. These assignment let me feel better and feel worse.
The good is that I can learn how to organize the Marketing plan and strategic plan, especially in product innovation and strategy decision. In contrast, It give me a sorrowful feeling. I have different background of education which combine with businesss, engineer, and information technology, also have nice career expericnces. However, I can't find a good job in U.S.A. Although I have some interviews and a jog offer of chinese company, I still feel bad and Frustrated. In addition Reccently, Some companies of Taiwan ask me when will be back to Taiwan and They will give me a job offer in Taiwan. Suddenly, a question get out of my mind.  Go Hard or Go Home? I seem to face the vital choice of my life. After I came to SIU, I already lost my direction and goal of my life. I feel that I lost my social and career networking also missed some opportunities cost.  My goal is not to advance but go back. I afraid to make any decision bucause I don't lose any thing. Sad to say, It become my weakness and trobule. Stay In U.S, I can't find my favorite job. Go back to Taiwan, I will fall in a situation that worse than before I left. I am in a dilemma as to whether to go or stay. God, could you give me a sign?

I pass the first level interview, but it still have a far far away to get the job.

Today, I got a message for recruiting center of Caterpillar because I want to Peoria for Caterpillar's interview last Tuesday. I remembered that too many people want to there for interview also they said they quite few offer sponsorship for international employee. Therefore, I thought I was denied and they might not call back again. Fortunately, today they called back again and told to me that I should prepare the I-20, F1 visa, EMD OPT licence, and passport for the second time interview and testing. They said they will no any position at spring 2008, so I should collect these files and make the second time interview as soon as posslibe. I will miss the opportunity for this year.However, I still wait for my OPT licence. I hope it could coming soon. Anyway, I very glad and hope I can pass the second time interview.

10/12 Caterpillar Interview on Campus. That day was very cold only 49 degree at the morning.
I woke up at 6:00 AM because my schedule is at 8:30 to 9:30 am. I felt so tire since I have a sleeplessness last night. 
I bear the fatigue and nervous and go to school. In order to suber myself up, I decide go to Starbucks and get a carmel makiyado.
I am first person for interview so I arrived in woody hall at 8:30. However, I wait for 40 mins and met my interviewers. They are two peope, one is black lady and another one is white man. They look like friendly and I met the man before in job fair.  At first glance, the black lady look like very serious and the man looks like easygoing. In fact, it is contrary. She is very nice and her speaking speed is very good for me. she asked lots structure question which means is the questions format is very normal in interview such as what is your best class and worse class. I did a good job in part one and expect next session still as good as before.
At part two, I felt very good at beginning and we spent a lot time in some questions. However his speaking speed become fast and fast, I guess he want finish it fast and interview next person. So, I starting got a dazzled and don't know what i am said. my mood plunge down because I felt I can't answer very well.  Finally, I took 1hr and 20 mins. I felt it is a good chance that give me a good education for interview. I thought I will do it better next time.
I hope I have a chance go to Peoria which is headquarter of Caterpillar.
