------
learnt a lot today during the interview, which was my first in 2 years (the last one was for an overseas science attachment, which went pretty well). Unfortunate, though, that i have NS (am afraid that my brain rots there to a point where i can't speak properly at an interview. lol), or i'd actually have signed up for many scholarships, practiced many interviews before going for the GIC one, which is like WOW, my dreamm job.
hmmm, i actually remembered all the 24 questions i was asked and my replies. i did a 3000 word debrief. maybe if you're going for your interview soon, i could help you over lunch (: *hint: lunch*
:D
