not too keen on the back though, so you just get to see the front.three interviews tomorrow:
4:45: Kayne Anderson
6:15: GAP Inc
8:15: Intel
the more i read about finance interviews, the more i don't want to work for somebody who would do that to me. it's like the army. they break you down, then build you up. except they only break you down, to see how you function under stress. because finance jobs are stressful and 60+ hour workweeks. they also ask you questions like 'if you're the best man at your best friend's wedding tomorrow, and you've requested this time off six months ago, but a super huge client wants to meet tomorrow, what do you do?'
i would reference the spice world plot point where, after clifford the boss screams at them that 'they don't have lives, they have schedules' (paraphrased), the spice girls decide to screw him and go clubbing. only, in the middle of clubbing their best friend nicola goes into labor! so all the spice girls are with nicola all night and into the next day and she has a boy! and before she gives birth clifford calls and mel b is all like cant talk now clifford, our best friend is having a baby, and it's more important than your silly deadlines.
and THEN the spice girls make the most awesomely amazing special-effects-ed drive down to alberts hall and DO THEIR SHOW!
in summary, my best friend's wedding is more important to me than the client meeting. the meeting can be rescheduled. and, if finance guys would watch some more spice world, maybe they would realize what's most important.
yes, yes i just did that.
