Welcome! Mabuhay! Selamat Datang! Ni hao ma?

Welcome to our blog!

Ms. N is from the Philippines, is crazy about bikes, scuba diving, choral music and sushi. She spent 8 months looking for a full-time job full-time, finally found one and would like to share what she has learned about the American job market to international students.

Ms. C is from Jakarta, Indonesia. Friends and family are the most important to her. Therefore, C has finally come back to her friends and family in Jakarta and is adapting to her first job as a Business Development officer at a Multifinance company. She has also secured a Singapore PR status that needs to be followed up by a Singaporean based job within one year. Here, she will tell her story at finding her place in the world.

Ms. W is from Zhejiang, China and she likes flinging frisbees at people, drives a very old but trusty American car and likes to order Chinese food take out. Unlike Ms. N and Ms. C, Ms. W is not looking for a job. She will continue with graduate studies in the East Coast.

Welcome to our world!
