Hello Catherine,
About this term of communication I thought, basically I'll write you e-mail once a week or more. Because of the time differences, I prefer e- mail will be our main communication way, but the content of e-mail I still not sure maybe share the problem I meet. IM chat is also great for me, except the daily random chat, maybe we can plan to have a regular IM chat for some topic like life tracking or sharing some concept for something. I'm also available for phone call as well. And if you back to Taiwan someday, I definitely want to meet you. =) And please feel free if there have another better suggestion for our communications.
I can feel that you are a kind of woman I want to be…ha ha, nice career, diversity life, and makes your days good and comfortable.
However about my job, I think I get stuck on it. I don't have a heavy workload, and my work is too easy for me, same thing in everyday. I feel bored indeed. And I did try to ask my boss to offer me more duty, but he reject me In the tricky way…(you know eastern people always like to use another way to express that… ) I guess the reason is my contract is only for one year…hummm…..
About to going abroad, I prefer to go to center, eastern, northern Europe or Latin America for my next internship, usually people won't be there right?...I think to have an working experience there is quiet cool. After that I do thought about to go to Northern America to get my Master degree. I'll plan for that.
I have another Taiwanese mentor; he is a manager in PSG department named Brain. Although Brain is really busy for his job, he still helps me a lot. After you contact me, I just found out that sometimes something is just only can share with girls. Thank you again for you picked me. Ha ha

From Washington.D. C. : Ooops...Structure plaese???

Sandra,
Thank you for your introduction - I am very happy and honored to be your mentor. My promise to you is that I will do my best to help you and guide you in whatever way you need so I hope we can have open and honest communication J First of all though, please let me know what your expectation is in terms of communication. Would you prefer to have phone conversations? Email? IM chat? I’m not sure what your schedule is, so you need to let me know when and how frequent(once a week, bi-weekly, once a month) you wish to have communication. Once we determine that, we can start thinking about structure and topic of our conversations.
Even though our backgrounds are different, it sounds like our interests are similar. I am also very interested in arts and culture – I took private violin lessons for thirteen years and took voice lessons for three years. I’ve also done dance (ballet, jazz, hip hop, ballroom) and even though English is my first language, I also speak other languages – Japanese(I lived in Japan as a teenager), French (I went to French school in Canada) and Chinese. Interestingly enough, our job sounds a little similar too. We can probably talk more about that during our phone meeting but it sounds like we both deal with $’s and manufacturers.
I’m so happy to hear you are thinking of coming abroad later. Have you ever considered coming to USA or Canada for your internship? Or maybe you prefer to go to Europe, since that is more closely related with arts and culture. Let me know what your thoughts are on that!
Thanks,
Catherine Bedeski

From Taipei: will she change her mind for being my mentor?

Dear mentor
It's very glad to receive your E-mail. I AM ADOPTED!!!wow~~! And I do think this mentorship will be really helpful as well. =)
Let me introduce myself briefly, now I'm 23 years old and the last year in my university life. Although my major is a Law, I don't like it very much, not to mention to be a lawyer or pass the national exam and working for the government. I'm more interesting for the arts and culture things. So far, to be an agency for arts or have my own gallery is the way I heading to. (But some time I'm very easy to change my mind or get persuade…ah ha)
In Microsoft, I'm belonging to the SBC team of OEM department. My main job description is do the statistic for the performance of dealers and help them to get their money rebate.
The contract of Microsoft Student Program is only until next year end of June. If everything is smooth going, I plan to go to another internship abroad through the organization named AIESEC. And I'd like to go some special country like Poland, Romania, Czech and so on.
I'd like to say that I'm very glad to be your mentee, I know my background and expectation for my future are not exactly match on your background. But for me, I think it is great to achieve and share many things with people in different area, some time it will have a result which is out of your expect. So... if you don't mind to be my mentor, I'll be happy for it. =)

From Washington D. C.: Will she be my mentee?

Sandra,
My name is Catherine Bedeski and I am a member of TAIME in MSFT USA. I am actually half Taiwanese and half American but moved to Canada with my parents when I was a child. I received a Bachelor of Engineering Degree and MBA both from the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. My first job after school was in the leading Canadian telecommunication company as a Business Analyst working on process improvements. I then joined E&D division at MSFT and have been on the same team for 2 years. I am heavily focused on managing finished good pricing on three lines of business (Zune, xBox and Surface) and true-up processes in support of the Zune and Surface manufacturing and procurement teams. I also deal with xBox returned parts.
I am extremely passionate about this mentorship program, having mentored two other students last year. After my past experiences, I truly believe that we can learn a lot from each other and I will do my best to help you grow and achieve. I hope you feel our background is a good match – if it is not, please let me know and let you find another mentor.
Please feel free to add me to MSN messenger: XXXX @hotmail.com
Thanks,
Catherine Bedeski
