Aftershocks...Damage Control

20th February '08
Things move on in life, there always is a tomorrow. The law of depth's says that after reaching a certain depth you don't go down any further, the only place to go then is upwards (well there is sideway's but doesn't apply here..). SCMHRD rejection was quite a low for me. But things look better already. I woke up late today with a wide smile in my face, the delay courtesy of late night football (Champions League if you must know) and the smile down to Liverpool's performance. Inter Milan - unbeaten for 5 months, 59 pts out of possible 69 in the Serie A- and Liverpool who lost to lowly Barnsley (yeah..its a football club alright) in the weekend. All I can say is "Inter came Inter saw…Inter got a royal Anfield drubbing". LIV-2 INT-0 (Kuyt 85m, Gerrard 89m).
Some more good news down at the T.I.M.E center where I'd gone for another Mock Interview…(in formals) :( . SCMHRD two years ago came out with a 3rd list too, so all's not lost on that front although not expecting that much. I must also add that waitlist conversion last year was, however, dismal with maybe a handful converting, the SCMHRD people converted the cancelled seats over to the Management quota. A piece of information that I could've done without knowing.
The Mock Interview went off quite well, I'm getting the hang of these things. The Faculty there too thought I'd had a decent interview at SCMHRD when I narrated it to him…which made me feel even hard done by. Feedbacks from the Mock : (1.) Don't rush to answer the questions, take a while to think and then answer.
(2.) Speak slowly and try and add some modulation to voice, care also to be taken at
level of voice..(a few notches higher prefarably).
(3.) Preparation on ' How Philosophy can help in a Management Career.'
I've got an Interview on 24th so have to prepare 'canned' answers to possible questions from tomorrow.
