Graduate jobs application time

From now until about nov/dec it's time to apply for the 2010 graduate schemes, so I am at it again. Am amongst others applying for a company that I actually had a telephone interview with last year, and funnily enough the questions asked then is now on the application form (cutting down cost of having a person doing telephone interviews?? They used an external company for this...). The good part with that is that I got feedback after that interview on what questions I was weak at so hopefully this time I'll get them right...

Anyways an average grad application takes at least an hour and plenty of energy so will try and do at least three before the week is over.

No go for marketing officer job

Yep, it's a negative on that one, obviously quite disappointed, have worked very hard for this presentation, on the other hand I have done absolutely all I could so am trying not to beat myself up to much. So it's back to the drawing board, I shall not give up! Am waiting to get feedback from the interviewers as well so I can (if possible) improve myself for next time.

Thus, the hunt for a career goes on...

Callback

I have been called back to do a final task on Thursday, I am excited, scared and running out of time. Have the general gist of the task but details will come tomorrow so not quite sure where to start really as am working full time next week as well.

I am really happy though they wanted me back, means I must have done something right with the two tasks I was given at the day of the interview which I was a bit nervous about. So now I will try and prepare my very best and nail that presentation on Thursday!

Interview done, thesis published!

First things first, had the interview today at 1pm, it was quite tough with an hours assessment and then half an hours interview. I think it went ok, it's really hard to say though, and as I was up at five to work 6-10 before hand my brain is kinda mush and I can't quite report back all the questions I was asked. They said hopefully they'd let me know by tomorrow, and if they can't make a decision by then at least they'll let me know that's the case (not quite like other company's I know...)

Secondly our thesis is now official (http://epubl.ltu.se/1653-0187/2009/081/) so finally I can apply for my degree! Woopidoodah, I am done!

I'll be working until 7 tomorrow but will post something here when I know. Keep your fingers crossed!!!

Interview!

Just had a call from the careers group at University of London, and I have an interview with them on Thursday, super exited!

Also have a couple of other jobs in the pipelin at the moment for customer service type things, but right now I am just happy to be going for that one interview, it is kind of a dream job for me. So keep your fingers (and toes) crossed!

Application

I handed in my application by hand today to Uni of London as the postoffice has had a few strikes and I wanted to make sure it got there (and on time). Also sent an application to a couple of other jobs in customer service and online security verification agent for a company where I have some connections.

Pret is fine, and I am glad to be working, it's just kind of killing my back and it's quite mind numbing to get up at 4,45 in the morning every day.
