终于,我按对了电钮。
I visited American Chamber of Commerce in Sheraton Great Wall Hotel (still there). They have a membership directory for US$395 (I do not remember the price exactly, but very expensive). I borrowed the directory and handcopied all executive search firms'' phone numbers (about 20 of them, most are world class). I then bombed all of them.
我登门造访了在喜来登长城饭店办公的美国商会(现在还在那里),他们有一本价格395美元的会员目录(我记不得确切价格是多少了,但是很贵就是了)。我向他们借出了这本书,把所有猎头公司的电话号码手抄了下来(大概有20家,并且大部分都是世界有名的公司)。随后,我跟他们都进行了联系。
I got 4 interviews next day and I went to only three because I already bought my ticket to Shenzhen.
第二天接到四家单位的面试通知,因为当时已经买了去深圳的机票,所以只去了三家。
It simply means we are the RIGHT CANDIDATES for these firms to sell to their clients.
其实这只说明我适合他们推荐给他们的客户。
They did get me a few interviews the next year or two, but none was better than the job I got in Fujian few months later.
后来的一两年里,又接到过几家类似公司的面试,但是没有一家比得上几月后我找到的那家福建外企。
