Going to London Career Forum tomorrow

I am going down to London tomorrow for the London Career Forum 2006. I will be going tomorrow night by night coach and spend two days there. Coming back on Sunday night. It’s going to be quite challenging to take night coach return, but this is the most economic way I can do as a poor student.

This Career Forum thing is held by Japanese companies and those who are looking for Japanese-English bilingual people. Bloomberg, which I had been their recruitment event before, will also be there. As well as some giant companies like Toshiba and UBS. It’s a two days event and I think they will interview people there, so I had been trying to prepare for it, but didn’t get much done :(

It’s time for me to seriously start thinking my future career now. Although there is still one more year to go, but time just goes by while you blink your eyes. Some of my friends had been to this forum and they found companies are more interested in Japanese students in England rather than students who are major in Japanese, they reckon it’s not really worth to go. But I still want to give it a try anyway. There is a story goes like this: One boy is so hungry and ate four bowls of rice, when he started eating the fifth bowls he feels not hungry anymore, so he complained he could just had the fifth bowl instead of wasting the first four bowls of rice. Unfortunately there is not “the fifth bowl” in normal life, there is less likely to have one-shot-to-success, so I need to have my first four bowls – experiences – first!
