嗯，誠如假說只能用反證法來驗證，我相信組創業團隊的邏輯也是一樣。而能在沒有後顧之憂的環境中體會到這個心得是很難能可貴的。

說到創業家， 到底是怎麼煉成的呢（除了用人體煉成以外）？

突然想到要po的， 這是之前跟生科系某不熟的學妹講得一些東西， 不過個人認為應該可以給有點想出國念書， 但是又不確定要往哪個方向未來想做甚麼樣的工作領域的人參考， 畢竟我也做了不少次的"劉"學顧問了

現在回想起來 我推算我的applicaton應該有幾個重點比較好: 1. Experience: 大學 + 碩班 + 助理 加起來做了五年, 加上又都可以拿到老闆的推薦信 應該至少讓我的研究經驗是可以被認可的 (雖然沒有publication加分) 2. Diversity: 大學跟研究所做的東西比較接近都是proteome, 不過還是有一些不同 到了助理做的就是有機合成 雖然還是bio的題目 不過幾乎是上課也沒有碰過的東西 應該讓我的diversity有小加分吧?! 加上有去過VC 實習過 應該又有增加我的趣味性 3. International-Known Lab: 在中研院待的實驗室 好歹老闆已經是國際知名的了 所以應該比較有公信力 UCSF CCB的網頁上也有特別指名這個要求 4. SOP: 這邊我也不知道我寫得算好或不好 畢竟每次看都覺得可以再改 總之,就是要把自己講得對這個program認識很多 而且是準備已久胸有成竹 保證可以在此打下一片天 不用過分強調自己很懂 但是至少字裡行間要講得出這個program/研究的精隨 (如果只是說這個program看起來很有趣...) 不要讓人覺得你只是因為學校名字就來申請了! (雖然我真的是...為了Stanford....啊 T_T) 這篇分析的可信度有多高 有待我去上學跟老師們請教為什麼要在這個經濟不景氣的時間點收我這個國際學生再說吧

After two months in the merciless financial world, I realized that I might get easier to be in the science. Although I am not smart enough to make revolutionary discovery, it should be okay for me to be okay here. After all, it is some how less...beguiled. Even though geeks still can do bad, they always do it in geeky ways --> much less harmful but more hilarious in most cases. I can remember the smell of all the organic solvents, good to be home~ 寄件者 Blogger 圖片 Good to be a scientist!

A long long month has finally passed my - my first month of full-employment! Working in a security investment company is a whole-new experience...but not so good Waking up at 6 am every morning is so painful @@ --> just like the god-damn military Well, there is still one thing to be glad --> I got my certificate of security 2!$#%$^ (高業，whatever its English is) today! No need to stay late in the company ^^~ A transfer from science to finance is really a tough play, but they are not that different after all. Logic is the basis of them, and taking care of all details to deduce hypothesis. However, a big different point is that we make it as carefully as possible in science, while in finance we make prediction as our conclusion (kind of weak for a scientist @@). People do make unreasonable prediction in science, but definitely not as much as in finance. A field of assumption from nowhere --> might be the origin of credit bubble :). Whatever the flaw it has, it is a good experience...

Finally, with some luck maybe, I got my first job interview in my 26-year-old life (not very quick after all?!). Though I have taken some school interviews before, job interview is something different! I applied for some clinical research assistant (CRA) positions before the Chinese new year, but only one company replied T>T. Whatever, at least there is a firm willing to interview me. So I went for the Nxxxxxxs company for the interview today (actually I had taken a prior interview last week, but it was more like a form-filling process so it didn't count in), and the weather was like the hottest day this year. The whole process could be condensed to one word, "personality", and mine is not that good (ha). After all, it is an experience sooner or later will come so I am glad that I finally made my first step towards the real world! There is definitely lots to be polished.

終於開始找工作的動作了， 雖然原本想再ㄍㄧㄥ久一點的， 不過看到大家都很努力地找真是不加油也不行。 開始準備之後就又意識到寫履歷真是一門藝術， 到底要怎樣講我的做實驗經驗， 到底要怎樣算我的GPA， 到底要怎麼豪洨我的實習經驗， 到底要怎樣蓋我的未能發表的OOXX一堆， 到底為什麼我找這些實習工作， 真是一團亂啊， 有一大半大概都是無腦的去年的錯， 我想我的腦細胞還在恢復到70%的狀態吧-.- (要不是可以在專長裡寫說會用一點點Photoshop...這一年可以說真是完全浪費了) 現在自己最主要的應該就是眼高手低的問題， 既不想做這個又不想試那個， 整天只想著最難的目標， 真是累了 (耳邊響起張爸文的"你累了嗎?聽首歌吧~")， 還是腳踏實地應該比較有用， 畢竟第一個工作我的最主要目的就是要去體驗去尋找工作經驗的， 談了很多人生規劃如果沒有踏出去就變成嘴泡丸了，科科！ 希望年前找到工作，揪咪>.^b。
