REJECTION

ok, so ... after three years of doing "pretty well", I started to receive rejections. Sounds so exciting!!! I can still remember about three years ago, I received my first rejection letter from New York University when I applied for early decision. They REJECTED me, well, reasonable actually... haha... I should say very reasonable for that matter because I could see why I wasn't qualified to go that school and why that school didn't fit me for various reasons. Three years later, I was so proud of myself for getting an interivew with PricewaterhouseCoopers, and right after my interview I sort of had the feeling that they couldn't accept me. The only reason I favor PwC over other big four companies is that they will send me to Disney world in Orlando Florida if I accept their job offer at the end of my internship. DISNEY!!! I want to go back to Disney! To have fun not work though. haha... Anyways, if I say I took NYU's rejection extremely serious, I'll say I take PwC's rejection about average, in the middle of my seriousness.

Last Tuesday, I had another interview with another big four company Deloitte, the interview went for about 1.5 hours, and somehow I felt more comfortable with the deloitte interviewers than the PwC interviewers. I'm suppose to have some kind of response by last friday or tomorrow, monday 2/26. I'll wait, I'll wait. Hmm... Maybe I will receive another rejection letter tomorrow. If Deloitte doesn't want me, I can tell everybody this right now: " NONE OF THE BIG FOUR ACCOUNTING FIRMS WANTS ME!"  Because I didn't even get an interview with the other two big four firms, KPMG and Ernst and Young.

Am I going to have a job next year? or I have to stay home and being unemployed? Maybe I should go work for McDonald or Burger King with a bachelor degree in accounting! That will be so funny! haha... ...

That maybe true! who knows... ... ... ... ... ...

PwC Interview

I just had my interview with PwC. No idea how did I do, but I don't think I did pretty well though, first, the interview was delayed for half hour, so the interviewer was trying to rush it through; Secondly, I just don't think I told all the things I wanted to tell the interviewer. But I asked some hard questions so the interview actually last full 30 minutes. Impressive, the last two interview only last 20 minutes or so. I will have my response in 7 to 10 days. Be honest, if I don't get response in two days, that means I am not getting it. So this summer I'll probably stay home doing nothing or take summer school or something. ... ... Hmm.... Accounting majors... ...

Here I go, my future starts here. 

Two days ago, my friend congratulate me about my interview with PwC (one of the world biggest Accounting firms), I was like I never knew I have an interview with PwC. So it just sort of went by, but I was disappointed that they didn't even give me a chance for summer internship. Today, I received an email from an instructor of Career Resource Center(CRC), he was giving me tips of how to interview with Accounting firms such as PwC. That raised my concern: "it seems like everybody in the world knows I have an interview with PwC except MYSELF." So I physically went to Career Resource Center (where I'm going to have my interview) to clarify this whole confusion. But in bottom of my heart I hoped the CRC made a mistake, so I could have my interview with the company. After 15 minutes of checking in front of the computer, they figured out that there is another person called "Yang Yang" in our management school, and they sent the interview notification to him by accident, but not ME.

How *#@!$%!!! The interview is this Friday and tomorrow night the company will have a dinner reception at a local restaurant (free dinner again!!haha...) But I don't even know how to prepare myself to all these events.

I remember last year on the way back to school, my friend asked me what's my plan for this summer. I proudly told that in my first summer in college, I went to an internship at Walt Disney World; and I went to "study abroad" in Singapore for my second summer in college. My last summer in college? I am planning to have an internship in one of big four accounting firms. I was so proud and so confident, and suddenly she asked me a question:" how do you know you will get accepted by the big four company?" I didn't have an answer for it, I said: " I hope so."

Getting an interview doesn't mean I will get the internship, if I don't, I will be the same with everyone else who didn't get an interview. But at least I made some progress, I tried to step into my future career. No matter what the result will be, I will still feel good about myself. haha... And when I see that girl who asked me that tough question, I will avoid to talk about any of related topics with her.

College nearly ends ... ... Reality check!
