Ten Simple Rules for Approaching a New Job http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003660 A brand new paper on suggestions for the life. I am wondering whether to translate it into chinese.
Job is among my favorite chapters in Holy Bible . I have read it for several times. I like its dramatic plot and lively main characters, but I do not agree with its theme. However, it is a characteristic of great classics that any readers can find more than the writers tried to express. First, the plot of Job is simple but dramatic. Long time ago, a man named Job lived in northwest Arabia. He worshiped the Lord and was nice to all people, and therefore he was rich and happy. In the beginning of the story, Satan pursued the Lord to test Job to see if Job would still serve the Lord when the Lord did not bless him. The lord, somehow, agreed to let Satan take away all form Job, including his wealth, his children, and finally, his health. As a result, Job lost everything. At first, Job felt easy because he believed, “If we accept blessings from God, we must accept trouble as well.” Then three of Job’s friends came to comfort, actually to disturb, him, because they insisted that the Lord must be punishing Job for his sin. Job answered that he was innocent, and argued with the friends back and forth, until the friends gave up without any agreement. During the argument, Job asked the Lord to appear and to explain why he was suffering, but finally he realized that human beings are lack of such wisdom to answer the deep questions of the life. At this point, a young bystander began to criticize both sides. Actually, he suggested that Job should ask the Lord for help rather than claim his innocent. The Lord, at last, appeared to them, but he did not explain anything. He just showed that humans could not understand many things he did, and criticized Job for talking so much while knowing so little. He also criticized the three friends for not telling the truth, as Job had said about the Lord is true. At the end, the Lord blessed Job and made him twice as wealthy as he had been. Second, main characters in Job are vivid. Job was a nice man and faithful to the Lord, but he became rather exciting in the argument. Facing the Lord, Job awed him so much that he forgot all his questions. The Lord was powerful and willful. He blessed his people in the way beyond the understanding of modern men. He allowed Satan to kill all Job’s children, 7 sons and 3 daughters, and then let Job have other 7 sons and 3 daughters. The Lord thought it was a happy end, but I doubt if Job have ever mourned his dead children. Acutally, the Lord in Old Testament is different from the Lord in New Testament. He was powerful, but not beneficent. He might bless his people, but did not love them. As for other characters, Satan was clever. He took advantage of the Lord’s arrogance to make some trouble for him. The three friends were so similar that I cannot tell any deference among them. I guess that the writer used three friends instead of one to indicate their views widely-acceptable, rather than personal. That young bystander was very shrewd. He admired the Lord a lot. Indeed, the Lord finally said nothing about him. Third, Job addressed an important problem. Why do innocent people suffer? Unfortunately, the writer failed to give an acceptable answer. He tried to pursue readers to believe that human being could not understand such problem. I have not been convinced. Anyway, an insightful problem is significant enough. Last but not least, anyone can find something interesting in Job , which may be beyond the writer’s intention. For example, I inferred that, in the writer’s view, the property is much important than the life, because all Job’s oaths were about his property, and “the happy ending” only meant more property, regardless all lives lost, his dead children and servants. Besides, in the biblical world, there is no destiny beyond the Lord’s control. The Lord can do what he wants. On contrary, in the Greek pantheon, even Zeus could not change certain destiny. In conclusions, Job deserves to be perused. It has impressive plot and picturesque characters. It raises a noteworthy problem, though it dose not present a satisfactory answer. What is more, it makes its readers think a lot.

”A quick and dirty job” 暂无好的译文 请教： ”A quick and dirty job” 中文怎么翻译？ 受教于黄老邪认真而追求完美的态度，我对 “quick and dirty” 试译、试释如下。 在黄老邪的例子中，“ A quick and dirty job ”就是汉语里的套话“本书编写仓促（或时间紧迫），不足之处在所难免”。 就“ A quick and dirty job ”而言，其意为“（由于时间紧迫或使用者催促而做的）快速而不完善的工作”，也就是“快而糙的工作或作品”、“编写仓促而质量粗糙的程序或作品”、“临时凑合的工作或作品或程序”、“快捷的”、“有待完善的、次级的、质次的”。尤其在计算机编程领域，指那种“快速完成但运行不太完美或不是很好的程序”或“快速但是存在一些瑕疵或并不完善的解决方法（这种方法快速而且容易建立，但是会隐藏一些问题）”。 “a quick and dirty job” 似在 20 世纪早中期出现，最初在计算机程序员中间大行其道，以后各行各业都经常使用的一个俚语或俗语。据有人考证，该词来源与表示“投资少、生产快的 B 级电影”及“快速性交或草草完事的性交或所谓的“快餐””的“ quickie ” （ ... originally late 1920s Hollywood slang for a Grade B movie, a film comparatively cheap and quick to produce. By the 1930s the term was being used to mean a quick act of sexual intercourse. ）有关系。因为与性事有关，因此“ dirty ”含义显而易见。 参考来源 http://www.weste.net/2008/11-15/13290077490.html http://www.knowyourphrase.com/phrase-meanings/Quick-and-Dirty.html http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/6/messages/911.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick-and-dirty http://www.knowyourphrase.com/phrase-meanings/Quick-and-Dirty.html

First of all, we should know what's your information that interviewersinterested? What your interviewer is seeking? 1. Analytical ability 2. Structured thinking 3. Intelligence 4. Ability to work under pressure without breaking into hives 5. Common sense 6. Ability to think on your feet 7. Interest in problem solving 8. Business intuition 9. Facility with numbers 10. Presentation skills 11. Communication skills 12. Ability to sort through information and focus on the key points 13. Ability to make recommendations 14. Creativity 创造力 15.Enthusiasm 热情 What's the sort of the questions? Ace Your Case 三个角度的提问： 1. Market-Sizing Questions 2. Business Strategy Questions 3. Business Operations Questions What's the steps for you to answer? 回答面试问题的步骤： 1.what is the interviewer asking? 2.Everthing there? 3.think before you speak. 4.Frameworks. 5.explain your thinking. 5.evaluate your case so far. 6.take action. Examples and Tips 面试问题举例 1.How many pieces of luggage fly through the San Francisco airport in a 24-hour period? Candidate: The best way to approach this is to define luggage. Can we assume were just talking about personal luggagethe carry-on and checked bags of airline passengers traveling to or from San Francisco? Tips: (1)When answering a complex question, start by defining parameters to narrow the scope of the problem. (2)Dont worry about getting the exact figures right. All you need are reasonable numbers that will let you work through the problem. (3)Dont be concerned if the interviewer asks you about a topic or industry you dont know well. Just be sure to ask questions about areas you need clarified. (4)Be ready for the interviewer to challenge a few of your assumptions, and dont panic when it happens. Revise your assumptions if necessary. (5)Its always okay to ask questions if something isnt clear. Make sure to articulate any assumptions youre making. (6)Before moving on, take a moment to summarize your progress and state your next steps. (7)Its fine to start a case with a working hypothesis. Just be sure to explain your hypothesis and why youre pursuing it. (8)Be sure to pay close attention and stay with the interviewer in case the conversation changes direction. (9)Be prepared to move beyond theoretical discussions. At some point, you may have to show off your practical knowledge and business intuition. (10)Showing youve taken the time to learn some of the intricacies of how a particular role operates is much more effective than simply saying you want the job.

Ok, what I meant to say is 在国内找不到工作就出国好了！ I have no intention to hurt China, my birth country. If you can agree to that, then you might see my suggestion makes good sense. One of the biggest problems in China is there are too many talented people but not enough jobs for everyone. The same project that needs 8 people is wanted by 18. What the government should do is to actually set up a fund for 万人计划, or even 千万人计划, encouraging jobless Chinese to go abroad, instead of buying more U.S. debts. Think about it; this could be the best investment the government can ever make, charging 3-5% interest if necessary. In 5-10 years, some of these people may own a company, or a restaurant, in every corner of the world! p.s. I just had a simple lunch, with no drinks.
TITLE: PostDoc: Control of organelle shape by Myosin 1b Possible starting date: October 2009 A 3 year post-doc position is available at the Institut Curie (Paris, France), both in the Laboratories PhysicoChimie Curie and Compartimentation et Dynamique Cellulaires. The project is financially supported by Agence Nationale de la Recherche (Coord.: E. Coudrier ). Recent progress in studying the role of myosins in membrane traffic has provided new insight on the link between these motors and other protein machineries involved in trafficking. The challenge now is to understand the molecular mechanisms by which these myosins contribute to membrane traffic and whether they act in a coordinated way with the other protein complexes to control the shape of organelles. The goal of our project is to unravel the molecular mechanism by which one of the single headed myosin involved in membrane traffic, myosin1b (Myo1b) regulates the traffic along the endocytic pathway. The mechanochemical properties of Myo1b suggest that it is a membrane-associated motor able to develop tension on membrane domains. In controlling the site of polymerisation of actin on sorting endosomes, Myo1b may localise and transduce the force generated by actin polymerization on the membrane of endosomes and thereby be one of the players involved in membrane budding or membrane scission. The objective of the post-doc will be to develop biomimetic assays to measure the force generated by Myo1b and determine whether this force contributes to membrane tension of endosomes and control their shape. The project will involve Myosin 1b and mutants purification, in vitro study of its interaction with lipid membranes, and eventually physical measurements of membrane tension and forces using optical tweezers on Giant liposomes This project involves different teams in the Curie Institute, working in cell biology (E. Coudrier), electron microscopy (G. Raposos and D. Lvy) and biophysics (P. Bassereau and C. Sykes). Profile: The applicant should have a PhD in experimental physics, chemical engineering or biophysics, and show interest for interdisciplinary work at the interface between physics, biology and biochemistry. Experience in membrane micromanipulation would be appreciated, but is not absolutely required. There is no nationality restriction. If you are interested by this proposal, please send your CV, a motivation letter, and contact information of two researchers with whom you have worked in the past.
