安德魯/Andrew E. Mendy

A graduate student has only one thing in mind to find a job immediately after graduation. Getting an invitation to this visit is a life changer and I will take advantage of it. I realize there are a lot of chances for me to find a good job and develop myself and get some experience, learn new skills in Taiwan and one day make my dreams come true. I learn: (1) Research is the key to any one or country’s development strategy. After seeing the research capabilities of all the companies, I change my perception towards research and I will work hard to be a great researcher. I have been inspired by the verse research done by all these companies and getting a job there will be a big thing for my country. (2) Challenges are the first thing that everyone faces in life. The companies are working hard to keep to the growing industries and technological developments. I have always put myself under pressure and so many challenges and after seeing all these companies I see that all these things are just a part of life. CTCI Foundation inviting us to this visit this visit is also part of a challenge that we must learn and change our perception of what is outside the classroom. (3) Been Innovative I have always ask myself what would I do after graduation, what job can I do with my mechanical engineering certificate. When I sit and look at my country we just have small factories and no industries and this is outing my country backward. After this tour, I realize how innovative these companies and if I work with them it will widen my abilities. Taiwan is growing every day and night just because of how innovative the people are. During the tour of all the companies, I observe and analyses the opportunities available for me as a mechanical engineer. Based on only the companies we visit there are not too many opportunities and there are still some. Basically, this visit is just to show us that there are many opportunities for us to learn and work in Taiwan. During and after the tour I take my time to research more about companies in Taiwan and I realize that I have a lot of opportunities to have a good job and a good salary in Taiwan. All the friend I make during the tour were as worried as I was but I know now they have a clear perspective of what to look for out there and I wish they can be given the opportunities to show their talents and help develop Taiwan industries. After Phison reading the profile of Phison founder I realize that I also have the chance to grow big in Taiwan. The expansion of Phison shows that Taiwan is a friendly environment for foreigners and being part of that and learn a lot in Taiwan I think I can make a different and it can also make a difference in my life. I have seen a good number foreign students working in Taiwan and they are doing very good for their companies and themselves and if they can I can. Since I finish my undergraduate degree last year I said to myself that I will look for a job in Taiwan so that I can develop myself. I gain more strength and power in that decision because now I have been given in insight view of what is available. With my own effort and the help of CTCI Foundation I know I am making the best decision.
