my Career- FIT

1) Right function

it's hard to tell because in nature i am a multi-tasker instead of a function-specific person. but i know what I don't fit well: accounting/ budgeting/ customer service/ healthcare/ pure investment or corporate relations/ trading/ security/ secretarial/

and pure engineer ("nerd")


2) ideal industry and interests
it's quite easy: the industry where I can have fun with new tech stuff - as far as i know, mobile and www :-)

3) things that matter (career needs)
so many things, but the least requirement

Derived from Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs -> career counterpart
  • 1. physiological - basic $$/ work hours
  • 2. safety - basic work environment
  • 3. belonging and love- organizational culture
  • 4. self-esteem - title, awards, appreciation
  • 5. self-actualization - personal growth

4) Define fulfillment

my fulfillment statement - draft

5) Enhance my identity

6) Know my personality type
MBTI test

7) salary range



Summary of my CAREER-FITTM

" In the short term, I will focus on getting work experience around web/mobile industry. I believe my background in engineering and management would enable me to do any kind of job function- from marketing to technical work and from management to administration.
Ultimately, I want to work on utilizing high-tech to benefit general people's lives especially in less developed countries(LCD). Currently, even though WWW and other communication
technologies made it possible that a lot of people benefit from them, still majority of world population don't even have access to them.
Putting in another way, my mission in career is to facilitate fair use of technology for average people.
