wait

let me reconsider moving this blog.

i'll just update both and see which one i actually like.

the theme here still suits what i wanna do with a blog and until that theme moves over to tumblr i'm still here.

cos its cool and mysterious thats why. take that sucka!

anyway, interview tips:

1. when they ask you where you see yourself in 5 years, the correct answer is "somewhere in your firm, perhaps if i am as competent as i think i am a senior executive" or etc...

do not say "australia", "america", another rival company", "in your mama's pants" etc.

2. when they ask if you know what you're getting yourself into, if you're only half sure, say "No, I only have a rough idea. I think I would have a better idea if you explained it a bit more to me as a firsthand account of it will probably make more sense than reading a lot of irrelevant information online".

3. take your time with the case studies. make no assumptions.

DO NOT act smart and jump to conclusions.

4. Know the name of the godamn CEO. apparently it will impress them more than your actual CV.

5. know how to reason away your critiques. eg.

interviewer: you didn't ask for all the information

you: oh my god i'm so sorry. ahuh, ahuh.

what you should have done:

you: i believe that there will be times in the real working world where i may not have all the information and will still need to make a decision. i believe that having a team to question my decisions will help to ensure that i make the right decision, just as you have done.

6. be yourself. if you are creative, be creative. if you are honest, be honest. if you are normally funny, be funny. if you are reserved, be reserved. don't try to be someone you are not as interviewers can sense your discomfort and take that into account.

and if you're not what they're looking for, its probably cos they felt as if when they hired you you would be uncomfortable there and be unable to perform to the best of your abilities.

7. never give wishy-washy and half hearted answers. full answers = points

half answers = no points

no answer with honesty and a why = some points. eg. i'm not really sure from looking at your website. I was hoping to obtain a clearer picture while working here or from you.

8. prepare!!!

9. follow these rules.

10. there is no spoon.

11. look out here comes a flying monkey!!
