it's funny. i'm usually so relaxed and at ease during interviews yet i felt so apprehensive during the goldman one. maybe it's coz i know i'm not interested in the other jobs and so i don't really care? heh. take today's interview with ocbc today for example. it's probably one of the better interviews so far and i'm quite sure i will get the job. but i also very sure i'm going to turn it down. hahaha. it's a direct sales executive position. i'm so not a sales person (my cousin says i'm too spoilt to do sales!) but i thoroughly convinced them that i was the person for the job. hahaha. it's peanuts. they asked me to describe the kind of job i want to do. i described all the qualities of a sales position. haha. they said "then this is the job for you!". yeah right. pui. hahaha. they also asked me what other interviews i went for. i mentioned goldman. and guess what they asked? "if both ocbc and goldman offered you the job, which would you take?" tsktsk. isn't the answer painfully obvious? i just grinned at them and said "heh you really want to know? i don't have to answer the question right?". but they insisted on hearing my answer. DUH! of course GOLDMAN SACHS! *rolls eyes* who would ever choose ocbc over goldman! hah. i don't care that the goldmam one is a contract job (they pointed that out to me, as if i didn't already know. i told them point blank that i would still choose the contract job over their permanant job simply because goldman was a better company! seriously, if you ask me, they were just asking for a slap in their faces. tsktsk. asking me the obvious! and in case you were wondering, no, they were not offended by my very candid answer. haha).

that's not quite the end yet. there's more to come. one of the guys asked me if i took into consideration a company's image and reputation when looking for a job. i said not really. then he said "hmm interesting, because you mentioned that you applied to both goldman and ocbc. i thought you only considered prestigious companies." i tried not to burst out in laughter. he actually dared to place ocbc and goldman in the same league. oh my goodness. it's hilarious. goldman, prestigious, yes. but ocbc? seriously. *blink blink* wahahahaha.
