Today was a weird day, I had my second interview at a company I eventually get into and boy was that a crazy day. I was told to turn up at 9.30am and have my interview which turns out to be rescheduled to 11am. The interview was a double whammy! I had two sessions, one with the Vice President of Client Services and the second was with a client relationship manager and a fellow technical consultant (or solutions engineer back in those days haha). Afterwards I was scheduled another interview with the director of technical consulting later that day. It was a phone interview from new york so I gave them my mobile number and expected their call later on.
After a hard and gruelling interview day I felt pretty happy with the results and went to see Inn, Stuart and Karis at Brent Cross since they were heading off to Stockholm the day after. I went to a KFC prior to meeting them outside hendon central station. Karis and Inn were picking me up whilst Stu was slightly late and all. We had some food (at Burger King and Yo sushi) and eventually met up with Stu and basically did a bit of shopping, checked out the new ipod touch and went to Luton airport to exchange some money.
Now the last line was a bit hectic since I’ve never been to an airport before, the worse bit was that I wasn’t travelling the day after so I was just going for company and all and BOY was it a horrible journey! I suppose it was horrible since we went there and found out that they dont exchange Swedish monday there since there’s not departures to Sweden in the airport! Grr! I kept telling them about how I’ll eventually start looking for cufflinks if I get my job so I had a quick gander at the cufflinks store haha. Once all of that was done we eventually went back to Kazzie’s place and headed off to pick up kev. It was a quick swop of people but meh! I wanted to go home, I was far too tired from all the interviews, I had my phone interview inside Karis’ car when we were driving to Brent Cross which was funny (especially when moments before the interview I told them two that at any minute I was going to get a phone interview haha). So yeah, a tiring day with interviews (and random trips to airports) but hopefully I get a job offer and all (which I do haha, damn me writing this AFTER getting the job)

Is fun, except when you get a head hunter who phones you up and constantly go’s “super fantastic no worries at all”. Sometimes it’s not super, it’s not fantastic and YES THERE IS WORRIES! Haha
Anyway, I had an interview with a company who instantly offered me the job (was nice and local too) but eventually I declined it, I eventually got a headhunter telling me about a job that was located in central London. I pretty much went with this one instead and went through a painful online test!

Hello
We hope that you are enjoying being back at University.
We are writing to keep you updated of the current situation at IBM. We are still awaiting confirmation of some of the graduate roles that will be available for 2007. We anticipate that we will have some more news for you in the next few weeks.
Once we have confirmed the roles for 2007, we will write to you with full details and ask you to choose a vacancy that you would like to apply to. We will then transfer your application to that vacancy (so you will not need to make a new application). You will not be required to retake your IPATO test. You will then be invited to attend a first round selection day in the New Year.
In the meantime, if your situation personal details change, please email exitgrad@uk.ibm.com and we will update our system. If you no longer wish to apply for a graduate role within IBM, please e-mail exitgrad@uk.ibm.com and we will withdraw your application.
We look forward to bringing you some news of the opportunities in IBM and thank you for your continued interest and patience.
Kind regards,
IBM Graduate Selection Team
I think I’ll goto the interview, might even consider moving out if I get a job outside London. Perhaps start a new life or something I guess.

Got a job interview with Merrill Lynch on wednesday, however, it seems to me that I need to learn a programming language that I only know the very basic of. I’m going to SO fuck up during the interview. On the other hand, i’m beginning to think about working at IBM in west yorkshire.

Concerning your question about the Ipat score, you can access the results once an offer is being made to you, and that you are Onboard. For the matching process, I am afraid I cant really give you a time scale as to how long this process will take as it depends on how many managers are interested in your file. I will do what I can to make this proces as quick as possible.
You are also right about the rate of success in the matching process, it is a 90% chance of being matched. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions.
Thank you and have a nice day!
I like the odds Not so happy about the waiting though :p could be any random time.
