ok, my interview happened on fri, but i guess this is a little late... but oh well...
the econometrics midterm sucked beyond belief. i don't think there's any chance that i'll do well man. GRR. anyway, after the midterm, i rushed to the canteen to do the financial tutorial. gosh, that was SUCH a bitch man... damn it.
and thus i was late. GRR. rushed home, didn't even bathe and then rush all the way to suntec. i reached suntec at exactly 3.20pm. damn. LATE. i was on the dot, but the minute i stepped out of the lift on the 8th floor, the receptionist was already in the lobby waited for me.
"tania? this way pls..."
woah, no time to catch my breadth, no time to sit down, no time to mentally prepare. i walked into the board room, stretched my right hand forward and flashed my brightest colgate white smile.
the 2 interviewers seemed pleasent enough. friendly tone of the interview. i was relieved. damn i forgot abt the thank u cards. damn it.
the minute i came in, everything they asked were technical. wat do i know abt the banking industry, the bank as a whole, and who the big players are. i said i didn't know ANYTHING.
"so tania, everyone comes in here proclaiming that they know everything abt the industry, how the system works and all... but u come in here saying you know nothing. then why are u here?"
i'm here to learn, *nods from interviewer* all i know abt the industry, the financial markets, the business world is all from the textbks, press, websites, it's all theories, nothing practical. this is prob the tip of the ice berg, and i hope, that given the opportunity to know more abt the industry first hand." *smile*
then came questions on the bank merger, who would buy them, why pple wld want to buy them. my stint at tan chong motors, how i added value to them, how i ever added value to ANYone's life etc,
overall i think i answered all the questions well, all except the one abt the $1000 dollar question. damn. i never SHLD have changed my mind in the first place. shit shit... i shld have just stuck to my decision and all. DAMN IT.... i hope they don't see that as indecisive on my part. damn.... shit. if i don't get the internship, then it'll be BECAUSE of this tiny question. damn it. DAMN...
oh well, met emma outside, and she was very nice enough to talk to me for a while and stuff. heard that it was 12 from 30 and later they're picking 5 from these 12. damn it. excited. VERY exited. i really hope that i get it... GRIN.
*cross fingers, cross toes, cross eyes!!!*
