I can categorize my job preferences and choices to three groups:

I don't want to be simply at the back somewhere doing processing work; it is repetitive and boring. I want a job that will fall in one of the above categories. They all make me feel more involving and makes me feel more part of the company. I work not only for the paycheque but I also work for the company. When I was at UVic, I took a course (POLI350) where I wrote a paper on a theory of management called XYZ Theory. It is practised in many companies in Japan. The screening process for hiring is strict - they want to be sure that you will be dedicated to the company. I think that's neat. To me, the company should be somewhat like a family. I want to feel part of it and the company part of my life. There should be opportunity for everyone to provide feedback. This feedback can then be collected and submitted in the form of a report for management to review. This can make the employee feel more excepted and will thus be more motivated to doing better.

I am also not interested in workplace politics and power struggles. I am only interested in the efficiency of business process. I have no interest in dealing with immature co-workers. I want to be given some room to make decisions, suggestions and innovations. I give myself to the company, develop myself there and then give more to the company. I will be recognized by the company and I will thus be further encouraged. I am not so much looking for recognition as I am looking for a chance to grow and develop with the company. I shall be devoted to the company and the company shall support me. It will always be mutually beneficial.

Career-wise, I actually have more than one thing I want to do. I have always had some interest in a wide variety of subjects so I don't think there is any single career where I want to devote the majority of my working life in. Right now, I hope to work in the personal banking industry for about 5-10 years. But I also would like to go to Beijing in 2007-2009 to teach english and, in return, be taught..... WUSHU! Dang, I should have started earlier. I wasted at least one-and-a-half years since I left UVic taking unnecessary courses and failing useful ones. And I am still interested in Information Technology.... because technology, if managed properly, really can be a good investment for improving business process, reaching out (and keeping) potential customers, and researching & creating new opportunities.
