I had 4 interviews this week. Never had that many interviews in a week...ever. 2 of them went badly and 2 of them went well. we shall see what happens with them. 3 of them are investment banks and 1 of them was a company that supplies information and indexes for banks related to complex derivatives and other financial instruments. It was quite funny but one the banks that interviewed me is in the building that i work in at the moment. It was weird waiting in reception in my own building and going to a different floor.
The interview with them was one of those that went well and at the end of it the manager asked for my email address so that he could contact me direct. Recruiters usually take the candidates contact details off a cv so that the companies can’t get to candidates directly and bypass them. i don’t give a shit about recruiters and gave the guy my details and i would like to think it was a good sign that he was thinking he would want to contact me again. He was also really selling the place to me saying they were a close team and people never left because they really enjoyed working there and he actually seemed like a really nice guy as well. hopefully he gets back to me.
The other interview that went well was at the derivatives place. Actually it went very well indeed and they have asked to see me again. I don’t want to sound shallow or like a money grabber, but they aren’t paying the benjamins like the other bank and if it came down to it, i would have to take the extra paper. Sorry but thats the way it goes.
Today i have mostly been listening to timbaland – the way i are.
I heard it on the programme ‘the hills’ on mtv. Another of my guilty pleasures that i would never admit to people who know me. I don’t want much tv at all and when i do its BBC news24, CNN or Bloomberg..........and the Hills on MTV. Its sad but its true. Lauren seems OK on the show but she hasn’t had much luck with the fellas, and Whitney seems like a very level headed sensible girl as well. Heidi doesn’t come across that well at times and her finacee, Spencer is an idiot. Also he comes across slightly......er.....how shall i put it........gay!!. one day after she gets married she is going to come home early from work one afternoon and find him dressed in leather pants with the ass cut out, bent over and with another guy dressed up a cowboy hanging out the back of him. Mark my words!!!.
....and on that rather disturbing note, may i wish you a good weekend.
Take care V. Its hot in phoenix, its drizzling in London...again!. Would rather be there than here.
