Friday, February 18, 2005 Congratulations Round 2 admits The yahoo board for new admits is buzzing with action. Congratulations for all those who made it in. Enjoy your moments. Also, for those on WL, there is still hope, and if you keep showing your passion you will be part of Team Fuqua. Good Luck to you. posted by Ravi Trivedi | 7:16 AM | Wednesday, February 16, 2005 Internship decision is made After speaking with couple more alumni and SY, I have nearly finalized my decision on internship. It feels good to be done with it. Now is the time to catch up with classes and focus on the new leadership opportunities for next year in the school. Good luck to all Round 2 applicants!! posted by Ravi Trivedi | 4:41 AM | Friday, February 11, 2005 Recruiting updates I did few more final round interviews this week.So hopefully, my decision about where to go this summer would be made within a week or two. BTW, it feels very different once you have an offer. I have been reflecting on how the recruiting process started when we arrived at the school. There have been quite a few lessons , during this process. I recognize, networking can get you the interview invite but not the job offer. Seems obvious...But sometimes in our own style of networking we over do the passion for a firm. I realize that one needs to maintain the balance. Just like B-school application or dating, recruiting is about fit, and showing the right amount of interest. My belief in maintaining long term focus, while networking has helped. No one likes to be asked for the job directly. Also, it is not essential to only speak to direct stake holders ( or recruiting team). The other people in the firm give neutral perspective, as well as can help your candidacy. Anyways... let me get back to preparing for tommorow morning interview. posted by Ravi Trivedi | 5:55 AM | Saturday, February 05, 2005 2nd Round interviews I had an great second round interview today morning and met lot of nice set of people. I am keeping my fingers crossed for results next week. I also have few more second rounds coming up next week. As expected, the second rounds are more intense and require a lot of preparation. This quarter, I am glad that I could exempt one course so that helps me a bit. But job search is really time consuming. On the other hand, it is very interesting and a great learning experience too in the area of your interest. Good luck to all of you searching for internships/full time jobs. ps: Good news, Got an offer from the firm I interviewed last week. :) posted by Ravi Trivedi | 9:09 AM | Wednesday, February 02, 2005 Term 3 Term 3 is underway. This term though has one less course, but with the internship search on it looks a lot more hectic. The Round 3 deadline was yesterday. The Round 2 decisions would start coming out on Feb 17th. I am planning to make few phone calls to admits myself. ps: Sorry I mis-spoke about the admit decisions coming out. They will indeed come out on Feb 17th. posted by Ravi Trivedi | 8:31 AM | |
