Bienvenue recruitment!

Alas, P4 is upon us! Its recruitment season now in INSEAD. Sample this:

Monday: Marakon Associates, Google
Tuesday: The Boston Consulting Group
Wednesday: Bain & Co., American Express
Thursday: Booz Allen Hamilton, UBS
Friday: McKinsey & Co., LEK Consulting, Roland Berger Consulting

Next week is not looking any better. The next 2 weeks will be spent working through Motivation letters and appropriate CVs for each of the applications. Painful as this may seem, I suppose its a pain worth welcoming. For as long as this pain continues, there is hope my escaping my current unemployed status.

Speaking of which, went through a Mock Interview session today conducted by a group of London-based consultants. I was warned that this wasn't like other "Mock" interviews. The guys were good at what they did and dead serious. It turned out to be hugely intense and frighteningly real. Can't imagine the real deal being much tougher.

All building up for the days coming up...
