How do I find a job. Session 2 I am little confused. Progress so far - I got through the first round with IGT, an ideal job for me. I talked to Vu, Neeta, Katie, Namrata - basically four people that have referred me to the position in their company. Namrata and Vu refereed, but I didn't hera yet. I had a phone call amazon fashion, I did not move forward. If I push hard, I will eventually get the amazon job. Yes, I will. Now, it will be a big pity if I won't get a position before April 1st. In fact, I have to get something in max 3 weeks. That is really a max. So let's focus on this magnitude. Brainstorm. Options: ask Melissa for the job - on Wednesday also ask Mike - Navitas for the job - for Sears job - ask on Wednesday. ask Danielle - for the job. Just asked Khan about a position at Kin…

Apparently, I am a good coach and teacher, and I miss it. That is one of the reasons I want to teach girls to play tech games.

Today I submitted nice pitch deck and a pitch script. Also, today I applied to the gracenote job. So in total I worked for 3 hours. I am planning to apply to a  several more jobs, and concentrate on getting myself a job.

I need to decide exactly what I plan to do with CET.

Do I want to go further and further with INjoo?

How is it going to coincide with my other activities.

Two most important tasks to focus on - IGT paper, 3 hours tomorrow; and Mike's assignment - 3 hours tomorrow. Tonight focus on jobs.

Then, look up conferences for this year to participate, competitions. and lastly your pitch.

I am back in San Francisco. I had a very good trip in the bus. I slept sweetly. I had warm and sunny dreams. I also planned out my trip in SF. It's funny and new, I know where I am sleeping tonight, but I don't know where I am sleeping tomorrow. I am such a nomad. It's funny Today now, I felt a little lonely, and homesick. Now I drank coffee, talked to Gulshat, and talked to Enlik. I am full of hopes. God, please give me a job. I am listening - "I am glad you came" - remember my sister. I listened to "pumped up kicks" here at Starbucks. It was nice Get to work now. Why you are so lazy. It's funny, how lazy you are. Ah, you need to love the process. What is your flow? What is your internal genius? Preaching and giving presentations is my genious. Storytelling is something that I love. Teac…

January was just a pilot month. February is when an amazing ascend will start. I am about to get into a bus. It might be a hard road. But I am not scared at all :long way is not scary to me. I am going from Seattle to San Francisco. This week was pretty good. I had two first round interviews, and in both I was invited to a second interview. On Monday I had a conversation with Amazon, it didn't go too well, and I was a little anxious all day. In the evening I had interview with Brightidea, and it went really well. I felt like I was already offered a job. Then on Friday I had an interview with IGT, it went okay. Now I have two interviews on Monday. For both jobs, I am very qualified. How good to have this feeling - I am well qualified. Now, I need to nail my interviews on Monday, meaning -…

Yesterday in the morning I had a phone call with an Amazon recruiter. After that, I was worried and couldn't concentrate. All day I spent in pain and agony. I went for a walk, I read, I talked to both of my parents. Then I slept a little, and then I worked. I mean I sent my resume to Cisco, and to Amazon. I listened to john Newman, I liked it.

Today, I went for a wonderful walk in Seattle. I cooked for Emily. I cleaned a little bit. Tonight I need to go to meet dj N. Overall, I am mad at myself, that I slept, and didn't send a shit to Mike.

It is going to be okay. I am at the good place now. Today will be okay, and tomorrow will be awesome! I will make it work. I will rock it. My life is full of fun and ambition.

Friday January 22nd I am only 5 days here, and already feel very immersed in the city, and I am full of hope. I met Vu and Katie and really hope I have good chances of getting a job.I stayed at the hostel, in the basement. At the first night, I was scared, and felt my body was physically adopting to the new environment. But I slept really good there. It made me think that I belong pretty well to small places, where all my belongings in one place, not well organized, but I know where and how to find everything. What matters to me is that nobody can see me and judge me. I also lie activities outside. I go outside, and see people and I can merge with the flow, camouflage and disseminate in the crowd, doing my thing. First night, I thought oh - bad, I am 30, and in a hostel, how did it happen…

I am depressed. I am not sure of anything. I feel bad that I am 30, and am living in the hostel. What a shame. I feel bad that I am the only one who didn't get a job. All other international students did get a job, and I didn't. Okay first year I was arrogant, and didn't even look at the jobs that are not super top. Second year I tried my best and had bunch of interviews, but in the middle I gave up, because I realized that startup is my way to go. Now I am struggling as an entrepreneur. I came to understanding that I need a stable job, to get myself on a normal speed, and to learn.I need a job in any scenario, and I need to start a family in any scenario. Remember Kellogg, I didn't know whether I will get in or not. Everyone told me I won't. But I really understood that credentials is im…

I did, most easy things - reached out to everyone on my network for coffee. I will keep asking, and thought of dragon project, thought but didn't  finalize. For dragon project we need:1. find Asian educated parents with girls, and see them playing 2. decide on how to program, alternatives:

a. through ipad; b. with light sensors; c. with voice/clap; d. with screen on the toy. e. with a bracelet/ a show; e. a remote control. (focus on three commands)

Next steps - with user interface I decided to wait till I come to chicago to learn.

Think of marketing, and user interface in Chicago.

Now most importantly, jobs - what do I do?

Nice, it's 5:30pm. I made some progres. I am meeting Katie, Vu, and Trinity, and tonight I will need another 30 min to finish up my leads from today, and decide.
