Interviews

I had 2 interviews this week.

1 I didn't get which is completely cool with me because I didn't really want that one. The second one I had my interview on Thursday at 4:30pm (which actually was 5 due to the panel running late). This meant my interview was from 5-6pm on a Thursday. haha

I had to prepare a PowerPoint presentation on a topic I knew NOTHING about and present for 10 minutes. Topic = Internationalisation of Scottish universities and outward mobility of Scottish students. hahahahhahaha. Although it sounds intense, it is a really cool subject.

The interview was interesting and difficult, but I felt confident with my answers. On Friday at 2:30 I still had not heard from them and figured the worst. I mean it was the Friday before Christmas so if they wanted me they would have called me to get it all squared away. Between 2.30 and 3, they called to say they couldn't make a decision between me and 2 other people. So now I have a second interview on 6 January.

Luckily this time they have sent me the project funding proposal and more information on the organisation. It's funny because during my presentation I suggested alot of the things the project is trying to accomplish, so perhaps that helped me into the final 3. Also I was a really good bull shitter at mixing my prior work and academics to answer questions. It all really does fit though is the weird thing. And as an international student, I have loads of opinions on how they should be treated and the services offered.

So overall I'm really excited about the project and the organisation. It is a 3 year project on which I would be able to have alot of input, so let's all cross our fingers! woohoo

PS I have written Christmas cards. They just haven't been sent. VERY sorry!!!!!!
