My first exam and my last interview
I took my first final exam this morning, about the Game Theory. The paper was so difficult that I think I almost failed it. But above all, Game Theory is interesting and learning it takes a lot of wits.
Yesterday night, I received a rejection letter from the Master program I applied for, saying that they were not able to issue me the Early Admission opportunity at this stage. The result met my expectations. Though I survived the first interview, I really screwed up the second round.
I was asked about my biggest achievement and biggest failure in that second interview. My answers were not well-organized, not to mention that what I said completely exposed my weaknesses. I said my biggest failure in life lies in my personality, because I was always very indecisive....You can imagine how badly I performed in that interview.
But that is alright. At least I learned a lesson from it--to be prepared and try your best. "Chance favours only the prepared mind". Further, I need to rethink over my career plan. Only if I figure it out, can I give a clear and assertive answer in the interviews to come.
Wish me luck in the next exam tomorrow : )
btw, how would you rephrase "the result met my expectation"?
The result is never in doubt?
The result is not surprising?
The result is within my expectations?
The result is what was expected to happen?
Thank you!
Very well written, I am sure you will do well on your exams. Saying "the result was not surprising" sounds the most natural to me.
