    I think it went okay! I was definitely a bit rusty since it had been a while, but it was good!

    I've been interview shortlisted for a marketing position with the Canucks -- interview is next week as well! Boo ya for virtually free work, but amazing opportunity!

    thanks geogeek!

    vonnie: it's the project administrator intern position for a banking and IT project. the project is dealing with integrating some kind of US banking system into hsbc, and i'll be helping out the project manager with the small things so he can focus on the big things hah. apparently there's a lot of liaising with IT at still creek (that's where you're working right?)

    i'm super excited! :D
    That's EXACTLY what I'm doing. Too bad we won't get to work together because you start after I end!

    i thought it went well. They said they would pick the person yesterday, so i'm guessing i didn't get the job

    I had an interview with them last week as well, and they told me they'll decide in a few days. I'm assuming I didn't get it either. I'm going to KnowledgeCC this week to answer some questions so they could decide who gets an interview.

    Good luck Hope. Hopefully things will be easier in 2010.

    o btw Agentbob: the CS Co op people are away until Monday, so it is still possible that one of us got the job

    in my experience, if you feel good about the interview, then you won't get it. but if it felt bad, then you will get it.

    eg: I felt like my EA interview was quite mediocre, but i guess they liked me whereas my SEEDS interview went well (i thought) but i didn't get that job

    etc

    Wow nice! They have great perks there too. Congrats.

    I haven't got placed yet. I only had one interview based on 20+ applications. Sucks.

    Nah, I'm not picky. I applied to every single jobs that gets posted on Symplicity. I didn't see EA, so I'm assuming you applied through their website?

    I don't have any classes right now, but I've been really busy recently so I haven't checked on Symplicity for awhile.
