Tuesday, October 04, 2005 It was career information sessions blitz for the last two weeks. I attended the consulting and tech sessions since most of the them hire people with engineering backgrounds. Most of them had incredibally early early application due dates. I applied to one of them. Needless to say, I did not make the next round in the reqruiting process. The letter basically said my background did not fit what they were looking for. I suppose my background too academic, not enough leadership type of work? They *were* hiring only 5 pople for next year, if that's any consolation. I am happy to get a response from them quickly, within a week, which shows that they did go through my app. One thing that bothers me is that, I was competing against undergrads (yeah embarassing but true). Better luck next time, I suppose. On a brighter note, I am now $333.33 richer and got a plaque that says so (well...sort of). Yup, my team and I finally got that prize money for our undergrad project. I was going to use it to get a one of them new snazzy 3G mobile phone. But after some careful consideration, I think I'll use it towards a new harddrive, a dvd burner, and maybe some more RAM for my PC. My trusty Sony Ericsson is still going strong. And besides, it'll probably take at least a year or two before Canada's mobile networks catch up to make current 3G phones worth buying. posted by Ben | | | 10:09 AM |
