Getting busier now as I am applying for a job and doing my homework. I am adapting my resume to fit that of INSEAD’s template, based on what my seniors have written for their CV book.
I am planning to apply to a job in a dream company where I seem to be a pretty good fit. It is rather early seeing how we’d usually start looking for jobs in P4 or P5, but I already met the HR person handling this position and she says I’m a good fit, so I’m going to go for it now and hope that it’s really the case and they’re willing to wait until next July for me.
Academically, things are getting more hectic too. We just had a microecons test this morning which I hope to pass, and hopefully pass well. Imagine, 3 weeks into term and we are already taking our mid-term quizzes!!! Next week we’re having a Finance quiz. These quizzes make up part of our overall grade, so it’s serious.
And in a few more weeks we will be sitting for exams! We will be learning new things up to the last Friday, and then exam starts the week after. It shows that you absolutely CANNOT slip up at INSEAD. You must prepare for each session and if you have problems you must resolve them quickly.
Fortunately I am thankful that my groupmates are helping me. Also, after a rather fast-paced Finance class today I was seeing stars, but a groupmate assured me that usually this concept would’ve been taught in 2.5 months (I think he said months!). Our Finance professor is also offering to help us out with a tutorial session which I definitely want to attend.
Such is the pace of learning at INSEAD. It’s like an intellectual treadmill.
