Wow, can’t believe I have been at Lenovo for 2 days already! As I am in the “ramp-up” period, I have not done much yet - just trying to settle in, get my badge to work, get acquainted with all the business processes/acronyms/tools, and understand the different areas of responsibilities. The coworkers have been very friendly and helpful and my manager seems to be a great manager so I am really looking forward to my time at Lenovo! I think what makes it especially exciting is the fact that since the company (Lenovo International) is new, many things are up in the air so there is a lot of opportunities to learn and try out different things!

*Sigh* Just heard back from Ford…it was a ding. Although since it was out-of-state, I wasn’t that interested in it anyways, it is still a hit to the ego to be rejected.
Without doubt, it was the technical portion that killed me - I could hardly answer the questions that the technical guru kept throwing at me. He asked all these questions on infrastructure and security, 2 areas that I am least knowledgeable about. Oh well, this just means that I am going to have to do more work off-campus now. So the journey continues…:)
