Today it was a busy day. I had two interviewes, one for IBM and another for
Exoweb. I got a call from Dalian in the morning. It was from IBM. I answered several questions about my projects, leadership, and how to overcome a big problem. The person who call to me is a executive of CGD of IBM China think I am going to lead a software team and to do the projects related of China-Korea. To confirm this position, i need to have a more interview with a executive of Korea side. I emphasized my good communication skill and programming skill. I hope to pass all.
Another interview is a little bit interesting, Exoweb is agile software developement company. They usually encourage TDD and pairing. Their favorate language is Python. The interview is quite fun. They gave me three quizes. These quizes are just like a quiz at the school or topcoder's. All quiz should be solved in 1.5 hours. I could use the computer installed gnu/linux os. To solve the quiz I could choose four different languages, c, c++, java, and python. After solving one quiz, i could check my code using the building and testing tool called exocheck. I choose c++ because that is my favorate language. I solved all of them with easy because I used stl containers and algorithms.
At the lunch time, I met Ms. Kang with my family, she gave us delicious food at the Obaltan, a Korean restorant in Beijing. It was good taste, so i and my wife were enjoying the meal.
At the dinner time, I attended the BLUG meeting at the
Kao You Kao Yu Dian (烤鱼店). I never have eat before such a flavor
kao you Kao Yu, which is a kind of fried fish. My two korean friends Joy and Peter had joined this meeting.
Wow, I am tired. It was a lot of things today.
