career and education

Great, I just received a letter from MNRB Holdings Berhad that I'm eligible for an interview session regarding my scholarship application. What a relief! I have been waiting for a reply for more than a month since I last sent in my letter of application. Finally, they are willing to offer me an opportunity or a shot for the scholarship. By the way, my scholarship interview is scheduled to be held next week (13th February, 2007), right after my driving test on the day before the interview.

Now, I barely remember what I wrote in my personal statement and I'm very sure that they will question me on my future career goals, particularly in the field of actuarial science. Though I might want to impress them as much as I can, I'll still have to get past my biggest hurdle ; that is to secure a placement in a matriculation college prior to be awarded this scholarship if I pass the interview.

So, one week, 7 days, 168 hours or 10080 minutes counting down to my interview. what should I do? I'm totally clueless as to what to expect during the interview that might last up to half an hour. "If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail" I know it damn well that it sounds like a cliche, but it's damn true. I guess I need to come up with a plan, but what plan?

.............................

After much thoughts, there are two major tasks to be accomplished.
a) A thorough research on the company's background
b) An in-depth analysis on my choice of course (actuarial science)

That's all for now. In my next post, I'll include a background research on the company. Till then, so long...
