Re: internships 07

Got through to the third round of P&G's 'Customer Business Development' internship. Still waiting on the marketing & CMK P&G ones.

Re: internships 07

at P&G marketing they only consider you for one position
so im guessing if you filled in the customer business development application first they will only consider you for that spot rather than marketing and CMK as well.

OMGOMOMGOMOMOMOMG!!!!!!

yes yes yes yes yes!!!!! I got into the next stage of the Procter & Gamble interviews. Fucking brilliant. That's my first choice by far, as it entails going to Singapore for 2 months, all expenses paid (including clothing).

I thought that I fucked up the second round problem solving test that we had to do (only finished 28/50 questions on it). Now I only have one day to complete the next stage.
--------------------------------
Oh and I got into the final round for the ComBank internship, but my excitement about P&G overwhelms the ComBank result, even though I still have 3 stages to go for P&G

Staz, just a though, I'd be inclined against posting what your first choices and what you think is shit etc are given your level of notoriety:)

I took Rorix to mean that since people know your real name/can easily figure it out, it might be a bit risky to post info saying that CBA is not your first choice (in the unlikely event that you both miss out on P&G AND someone involved in CBA recruitment stumbles across your post)

Re: internships 07

Oh ok, that makes sense. ComBank actually do understand that people may want other positions with other firms. In fact, a friend of mine who got a Grad Position was explicitly told not to lie to them in saying that 'ComBank' is their first preference, as they know that it is likely to be untrue for marketers.

On that note, ComBank is my top bank preference for marketing. I see a lot of potential improvement that I could help facilitate, especially since their customer satisfaction is ridiculously low (56% from memory)

Re: internships 07

CBA's contracts go out next week and i'll have a week from then to accept. Apparently even after acceptance I can decline my offer later on. I actually communicated that I need to find out about my P&G offer to accept anything, so they're going to tell someone that they're on the waiting list for my position, in case that I decline.

Re: internships 07

im guessing they just think about who was next in line for the position (i.e. they are likely to toss up between candidate X and Y for any position)

Re: internships 07

I'm not sure. With marketing there aren't many offers though, and they are very specific, i.e. Marketing Communications at Colonial NEED an intern. For other positions, that may not be the case

Re: internships 07

once again, i reckon the odds of getting another chance is quite small. besides, they may hav already given extra offers just in case, or they'll stick to the number of ppl who actually accepted offer.
