Didn't Get the Job

Amazon

Barely a day later, I've been notified I didn't get that internship for Amazon I interviewed for.

So much for the week estimate they gave me on an answer... They were still interviewing people at my school alone today even.

As a friend who was also told no (and in his case it hadn't even been 24 hours), it's like "they didn't even consider us."

Oh well...

Amazon Interview

Posted by Electric Turahk , in School, Work Feb 27 2013 · 111 views

Amazon

It was... okay.

Very, very, very technical.

And as I predicted, my 90 minute interview really was just a smashing together of the two 45 minute interviews most people go through. So it was split into two parts.

I think I did well enough in the first half, but in the second (which was about trees, which I'm not that great with/haven't fully covered yet in classes) I sorta fell apart...

The interviewers seemed really nice though. I guess that's a plus?

And that'd be bit for my first technical interview. I'm surprised I wasn't more nervous during it. But of course now I have to wait for their decision, which is sure to be loads of fun and not anxiety-inducing at all.

Internships

Posted by Electric Turahk , in Work, School Feb 17 2013 · 106 views

How the heck do you guys do it?

Those of you who have travelled great distances just for an internship.

How?

I was offered just an interview with Amazon - after not hearing anything for 5 months! - and can't bring myself to accept, just for the anxiety of going so far away. Being so alone there. But that's if I even get it, of course...

Not to mention I'm only now really learning about the algorithms and whatnot they'd be asking me about in the interview.

Add to that the stress of being given 5 days to decide...

And I'm a wreck right now.

Interning: Week 1

Posted by Electric Turahk , in Work May 25 2012 · 104 views

Jobs, Internships

Well, my first week of my internship's now over. Never really expected to have one this summer and I do have to thank my dad for getting it... But at the same time it sure is awkward having to work with him. -.-

Haven't done much and it's actually been a little boring. I'd hope for a little more work next week, but at the same time I don't want to be swamped.

Boy has it left me tired, though...

So. Bored.

School

OhmygawdI'msobored.

I've had no homework for the last week of classes (that I didn't already finish last week) and if it weren't for in-class reviews before finals I wouldn't even be going to those.

Luckily I caved and bought Trials Evolution before I wanted to, so it's been occupying much more of my time than gaming has at all in the past month.

I'd say I can't wait for finals to be over with and start summer break, but I'm not even sure I'm looking forward to that. Stressed out about an impromptu potential internship at my dad's work, but not knowing if I'll actually have that or not makes it impossible to tell McDonald's whether I'll be working there. And I had planned on working there as close to full time as possible since my sister and I just had to put a down payment on a car to share... That neither of us have even been able to see, let alone test drive, since we're at school. But our dad insists it's fine and we'll be comfortable with it if we're comfortable with his blazer (which of course I am, since it's all I've ever driven). Ugh. Just don't know what to expect from sumemr.

Life

I don't think it's too well-known that I work at McDonald's. Cuz, like, I do. And I'm heading to work pretty soon.

And I'm turning in my leave of absence paperwork today. I don't know why, but I'm actually really sad about it... I know I'm welcomed back whenever I have a break and next summer of course, but still... I made some friends there I didn't expect to (and tragically lost one last year), and even though there are some pretty bad days, I still enjoy it there.

Just another side effect of college...
