Degree on Facebook and Twitter

Here is a school presenting degrees on Facebook, Twitter and social media. Wanna have it?

I have started

Since I started thinking of MBA program at Stanford GSB, I began worrying about my job experience. MBA programs require applicants to have a few years career background in the field of management, organization, or whatever areas similar to them. But I had nothing in my resume to put forward about that. I have been translator/Interpreter since five or six years ago, which has nothing to do with the business. Therefore, I needed a job transition, from translation to a field (or fields) I have no background in it. Thus, no organization would hire me. But if I apply for a low position, and preferably, in my existing organization, I thought it might work.

From a couple of month ago, I have been eagerly sharping my ears, and nose, to hear new vacancies. At last one was up: H.R. Assistant. No better position than that I would've thought of. I applied and passed an interview and got it. Not so easy of course. To get that job, I started from several months ago, even before the vacancy was announced. I needed to build a good and successful career in my existing one to be well recommended for the next.

Here I am with this position. It's a new starting point for me. I will not of course remain here. I am going to be promoted. But I am patient.

International Women Day: some photos

AUAF celebrated the International Women Day by inviting some people from the American embassy to give speech at the campus. I took part, more for taking some photographs! I don't know why now, I am putting some of the photos I took, here.

One of the girls has gone up a desk to take photo! It's women day!

Google's end?

If so, Google would die...

What about when an instructor delays...?

When we hand in an assignment late we have to be punished and condemned, but when an instructor delays in reviewing the assignment and giving grade to that, what should be done?

Does it mean someday, along with other courses at school and universities, students can take courses on tweeting, blogging, podcasting, online networking and much more?

Apparently, it seems not a so-far, out-of-the-way future--it has happened today! Read this on Guardian as Pupils to study Twitter and blogs in primary schools shake-up.

I should be anxious!

Everybody has anxiety before a forthcoming test--No need to explain why. This anxiety most of the time has a negative impact on the test performance. But being completely free of anxiety and stress neither is something good. Always there must be some anxiety with you, of course a bit, to move you, to force to try more.

This is particularly true when it comes to me. I was excessively worried about my UNV 101 midterm exam held on Tuesday and I tried so hard I did it pretty well. Today, I am going to take ENG 110. It seems to me it's easy. So, I am not trying. I am sitting here blogging! Is that right?

Why do they hate Google?!

Google's top designer Doug Bowman left the company to join Twitter. Because he could not tolerate more that Google sacrifices design for data. He says:

"With every new design decision, critics cry foul. Without conviction, doubt creeps in. Instincts fail. “Is this the right move?” When a company is filled with engineers, it turns to engineering to solve problems. Reduce each decision to a simple logic problem. Remove all subjectivity and just look at the data. Data in your favor? Ok, launch it. Data shows negative effects? Back to the drawing board. And that data eventually becomes a crutch for every decision, paralyzing the company and preventing it from making any daring design decisions."

What does your blog say about you?

What does your blog say about you--your values, your beliefs, your attitudes, your taste, your personality type? Here is a Web site called Typealyze which allows you to determine what your "blog personality type" is. Read here more about this Web site.

Here is what I am according to the Typealyze:

ISTP - The Mechanics

The independent and problem-solving type. They are especially attuned to the demands of the moment are masters of responding to challenges that arise spontaneously. They generally prefer to think things out for themselves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts.

The Mechanics enjoy working together with other independent and highly skilled people and often like seek fun and action both in their work and personal life. They enjoy adventure and risk such as in driving race cars or working as policemen and firefighters.


Some parts are nonsense: I don't like race cars or say I don't like risk so much. I risk in my life whenever and wherever elements are to some extent clear for me to make decision.
