回京·面试·唯一目标Seravi@

真的很感动,本来没想到年前回京。

Danny 让我体会到了被三顾茅庐的感动。他的公司是我此行北京的唯一目标。行就留,不行就回。

人物:Danny ,新加坡华人吧,该公司CTO,三个创始人之一,哈佛大学物理学士,斯坦福大学计算机的硕士、博士。斯坦福大学上有他的个人主页。具体名字我就不说了。百度功能太强大。

4.24凌晨发作,失去了这个工作机会。(发作第二天早上我居然还把 面试程序题目完成了,email中有说明)。对方在4.29给我回信,问我是否对这个工作还感兴趣。
我告诉他,很感兴趣,跟他工作应该会很愉快,可惜我必须得回家休息一段时间。

5.13日,对方公司的HR来信。给我面试通知。我说自己已经回家了。但是觉得这个职位非常不错。不管怎样,我都很感激。HR说回京后可以联系,如果这个职位有效的话可以安排面试。

6.11日,对方继续来信。问我回京了吗。我说得到8,9月才回。

8.17日,对方继续来信,问我回京了吗。我说
I could return Beijing in this fall , however now it seems little chance. Either this November or December,大意是本打算秋天回京,可是现在看来要等到11,12月了

9.28日,对方继续来信,问我回京了吗。我觉得很受感动,没有被这个世界遗忘。于是我说11月回京。

11.7日,我基本把《正宗马礼堂养气功》整理完毕,于是给他发信,标题:请求一个面试机会。 内容大概是:如果你还需要Senior Programmer,我就18号回京。 很快回信。11月8日早上收到并回复,呵呵,于是一个早上,效率很高的定下了面试的时间地点: 11月19日 3:00 pm, Beijing Office.


这个公司的业务(法律,税务的在线咨询)主要面向北美。。。3个老板都是美国人(一个是Danny,另一个是google的前产品经理,第三个是高盛( Goldman Sachs)的前执行总监)。



短短半年,全球就发展了4个分公司(北美,北爱,香港,北京)。我要去的,是 beijing office....

Hi Shen,
Are you still interested in this job?
Thanks,
Dann?

Mr Dann?,
I do want to join your team and work with you , and till last Thursday I have refactored the program and optimized my algorithm to match the new needs, also I did some kinds of unit test.
Unforturnately, there's no time for me to complete this programm as I have to go back home(in Liaoning) for a rest which may take several weeks. don't worry, I have my body checked and the report shows everything is well, The doctor said the only thing I need is to REST. :)
In the attachement is the almost finished program.
It must be a very good time to work with you, however, ... Hope you everything goes well, and take good care of your health, Dann?. Make sure ENOUGH SLEEP and DO EXERCISE everyday!
Sincerely ,
Shen

Hi Shen,
How're you doing? Are you looking for a job?
Cheers,

Greetings Dann?,

Very happy to hear from you, I'm now still in my hometown -- Liaoning and not able to return Beijing until this August or September. The reason why I left Beijing for so long time is that I'm the only one child of my parents, but it's eight years that I left them and made them being lonely. I must spend some time with them , do somethings a son should do.
I promise I will contact you as soon as I return to Beijing. :-)
If you are eagerly needing some programmers, I can introduce some of my friends to you, most of them are java programmers.
Thanks again! Sincerely

Shen Siwei

hi shen,
thanks for the update. enjoy your time with your parents. i took the train to liaoning a few weeks ago to visit liaoyang for the weekend.
we're looking for ruby/rails programmers. so if you know anyone, please let me know.
thanks,
Dann?


2009/6/12 <[email protected]>
Hi Dann?,
Liaoning welcomes you! Hope you have a good time in Liaoyang. I think Dalian and Dandong are more funny and beauty , maybe :)
Most of my friends are using java, few using ruby. However, there are many good Ruby/Rails programmers in www.javaeye.com which is the top level Rails forum in China Mainland. I have already posted a message there, url:
http://ror-party.group.javaeye.com/group/post/716??

Wish you good luck!

Shen

Hi Dann?,
So glad to hear from you, I am fine and still in Liaoning :-) I thought I could return Beijing in this fall , however now it seems little chance. Either this November or December.
I promise I will contact with you ASAP when back in Beijing .
Thank you very much again and wish you great success in career.

hi shen,
how're you doing? are you back in beijing? we're hiring if you're back or know anyone. we're also looking for a front end (css/html/ajax) guy if you know anyone.
hope you're well,
Dann?

2009/9/29 <[email protected]>
Dear Dann?,
So glad to receive your email, :-)
I am in Liaoning ,and will not return to Beijing until this November. I will contact you as soon as possible once I am back. Serav?? is always in my mind and the first choice when I am seeking a job. :-)
I do have friends who is doing this kind of job and just "be familiar with" but not "master" the CSS /Ajax. What's the detail demand of the "front-end" position?
Sincerely,
Shen

2009-9-29 11:04:59 发件人:Dann? Yang <dan??@ser?via.com>
great, let me know when you're back in november.
we're looking for someone with a lot of experience with css/html/ajax.
thanks,
Dann?

Morning Dann?,
Happy National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival!
I asked some of my friends who are doing a web's front-end job and familiar
with CSS/Html, however none of them had any experience with Ajax. They think
Ajax should be done by the programmers but not the art designers, so do I :-)

Please be patient, it's hard to find one who is good at both CSS and Ajax,
and it's harder to find one who masters them all plus English. I have made some
posts for you in several art-designer's BBS. Hope this will be helpful.  :)

Best regards,
Shen

Morning Dann?,
Serav??'s new website looks good. I saw the Beijing office's address on
it:
"?? Business Center, C-206, 3 ?? Road , Chaoyang
District, Beijing 10020, China"
Any time is good for me after my returning to Beijing , what about 11.19
or 11.20 ?

My phone number has not changed : 135 2222 33??. Do you need something
more,such as my resume (which is almost the same as it is half a year ago )
or so?  :-)

regards,
Shen
