Re: [Condor-users] yahoo.com phone interview

[Yang Y Yang <yyang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lijun:
	Thank you for the letter. I have been through the same process too, so I
	understand your situation. here are something I think may be helpful:
	(1) if you go to a general IT company like yahoo, google, amazon, almost
	all of them are UNIX-based. so unix knowledge and coding in unix
	environment is very important. I recommend APUE
	(2) coding in itself is important, companies like us need very little PhD
	work, so oftentimes your PhD research doesn't mean too much for us,
	except it demonstrates your intellectual ability from one perspective.
	(3) it may help if you try a position matching your research, then you
	would find they are very interested in your specialty.

	Best
	Yang
