Oh hey, I got my first unsolicited interview request. Yay I feel loved. But it's on the day that I'm taking the GRE in addition to having another exam. So the only times I'm available on that day are like 8am. Are you trying to kill me, people? Eh, methinks I'll probably decline. On one hand, it's Microsoft. On the other hand, Microsoft is big fat ( Read more... )

~*~ Apparently, 7~8 hours of sleep make me groggy and listless throughout the day. Five hours of sleep, on the other hand, make me alert and hyper. I heart adrenaline ( Read more... )

...oh so pretty, and witty, and dyingDoom Sally has a cold, which is not a big deal except Sally has a busy busy week filled with things. Things like meetings with administrators and having to work (well, I don't have to but I feel obligated) and lots of homework/projects and a frickin' interview with pretty pretty Apple. Sally cannot do those ( Read more... )

Half an hour of primping plus an hour of prep for a 20-minute interview = doom. So that? Was the opposite of last semester. It was a pre-screening by the university relations person, so it was very traditional/behavioral, as opposed to last time where they gave me problems to do for the entire ( Read more... )

Two hours before my interview with IBM, I see this article. Lol. I need to come up with a new answer for when they ask me "Do you prefer hardware or software?". And I need to not burst out laughing while I give that answer.

Woah people are whory. Interview sign-ups start at 10:45am; I signed up at 11:00am, and I was already the seventh out of ten people to do so. In related news, I thought there were 12 spots instead of ten, so I accidentally signed up for the very last spot. (I wanted a spot that's late-ish but not last.) This is good, y/n?

Our morning math class today was apparently cancelled, and the 8 of us who didn't know that got there and were very confused. How did everyone else know that there was no class? Durbin didn't send an email or make a Blackboard announcement or anything. Hmm I guess he said it at the beginning of last class? Since I'm chronically 5 minutes late to ( Read more... )

Holy shit I got a second-round on-site interview with SiLabs. EEEEEEEK! Haha they're such slackers. They took more than a week and a half to get back to me. Everyone thought that hope was dead. With June's interview process, Dell called back the next day to do second-round. Dell=much more diligent. Also, the guy who called and also emailed me is a ( Read more... )
