Seems like case interview workshops aren't as bad as I thought they would be. :) I'm thankful for the interviews that I have.. Now, I just need to prepare well and wow the interviewers.

Early morning class

I'm sleepy. 9am operations management class is no fun. My friend gave me a case interview yesterday and basically told me that I suck. And the case interview prep book I ordered online is still in intransit due to bad weather.. I hate slush. Snow's all nice and pretty when its snowing, but its inadvertent that it'd turn to slush the next day and make walking to class a pain. I almost slipped this morning- cuz the courtyard is not shovelled. :( I need some industrial strength boots to deal with this. Slipping in the snow is no fun as I've discovered.

Internship woes

Hmm. I actually got an interview for a consulting position. :X This came as a surprise because consulting is the second most coveted type of career here, and I have had absolutely no experience in consulting, nor demonstrated an interest in consulting through participating in student activities which are consulting-related like my more consulting-oriented friends. I guess I could always spin it in a way which is beneficial to me. Now all I have to do is get some case interview practice, and come up with stories for the behavioural or "get-to-know-you" questions. These come in many variations: "Tell me about a time when you led a team to accomplish your goal", "Tell me about a time where you performed over and above expectations", "Tell me about a time when you failed and what you learned from it". Lol. The variations are endless. And I'm terrible at preparing anecdotes for such questions. These have stumped me in previous interviews and I ALWAYS tell myself to prepare better for the next one but I never do. UGH. Inertia. I MUST prepare them this weekend. The bf could be roped in to mock interview me I guess. Or perhaps he'd be more useful helping me come up with anecdotes which draw on my experience..

Confused

Hmm. I've moved once again, mainly cuz I'm not comfortable with my bf reading my blog. I mean, most of my ramblings are about him anyways, and it's hard to type them out knowing that he could be reading them.. I don't know. Does that mean that we're not close enough? Or that I don't trust him enough?

Anyways, Happy Chinese New Year! :)

I still hate how there's school here on cny. :(
