Finally got the thing done.  No matter what it turns out to be, I feel good about the attempt.  There're some interesting episodes during the conversation, one of which came from a Prof. Chan, the director of the aging studies centre (I forgot the exact name of his centre, plus, he was there just to make the process appear fair, I guess, coz the other two on panel were Prof. L and the teacher who taught me "Literature & Cinema" last semester).  After Prof. L asked me my previous remuneration as a solicitor, Prof. Chan began his next question jokingly with "妳視錢財如糞土..." The room was immediately filled with laughter and, of course, I denied instantly.  While I don't see money as shit, I appreciate Prof. L brought out such issue coz he wants to be fair to me and can't help express that my present pay is kind of below average.  The thing I worried about before the day - the written test, was completely out of the discussion.  Obviously, what I wrote about bringing the publication to the public doesn't really suit his taste but he did say what I wrote was very fair and creative.  As I said, finding jobs is similar to dating, either the person likes you or dislike you, very often not built on what you said or done.  The process didn't last very long coz they already know me well.  When I walked out, there's another girl waiting outside.  I suppose there should be lots of candidates for this kind of job and there're always good candidates to choose from.
I told D that I feel 50-50 about this, partly because I'm not a candidate who meets all their requirements (though they like me as their student), partly because I still like what I'm doing now.  D, who always knows how to justify things, said 50-50 is enough for a move.  Well, I suppose so.  What I want are things that this company can't offer me and I really need extra nourishment to develop into a better person.  Honestly, I don't have full confidence that I could manage the job (which really sounds like a one-man company except with 3 RAs under me) but I guess, career-wise, there's nothing more difficult than being a lawyer.
Humm, I'll leave everything to God.
