After finishing 4 year University study(a famous school with a hot major in Canada), my niece started job hunting and didn't have any contacts for two months. Then,I convinced her to learn some basic data and database analysis skills and tools, and add these skills to her resume, a couple of months ago. She have got several contacts from recruiters and companies, and built lots of interview experiences, since then. Today is her first day to work in a telecommunication company.
I am very happy with this, although I am still struggling on the road to 延安.
