But if you win, would you not like to rub their noses in it  |

Indeed. However, the chances of that happening are about the same as Arsenal winning tonight's FA Cup final!

I played in a junior/adults doubles event at my club. Me and my partner got to the final but lost unfortunately.
Some photos are getting posted on my club's website that I might post.

Just had the Reserve Bank interview. Was quite tough and rigorous with questions about the world economy and monetary policy responses and the like. Think I answered mostly ok.
Next step is a 2nd interview at the bank in Wellington. Will hear in a few weeks once the first interviews are all done.
Must have been ok as today I was invited to a 2nd interview in Wellington in early July. The woman on the phone told me the 2 interviewers were "very impressed" although I suspect that gets said to everyone who gets through to the next stage. It was definitely the type of interview that suited me, showing my knowledge of economics (and having studied the subject for about 8 years now I would hope to sound like I know what I'm talking about) rather than being flashy and outgoing enough for the likes of PWC. Didn't expect to get to the next stage though as they generally want people with Masters degrees. Also wasn't expecting to hear until next week as they said at the interview I would be contacted in the week starting June 2nd. |

Well there's the small matter of exams to prepare for during that time aswell. Not to mention the dissertation that needs to get into a bit more motion than it has done thus far this year! I haven't got the full details yet so I don't know what type of interview it will be. There is also supposed to be some sort of written exercise too. An email is supposed to come sometime this week. But I guess just following the news and continuing to be aware of what's happening in the economy and in the world and possible effects on NZ etc. Government just released their annual budget last week so will have to study that in more detail and think about effects on inflation and that kind of thing. Also had to put down 2-5 "controversial economic policies/ideas you have an interest in" on the application and I put 3 but was only asked about 1 at the first interview. So perhaps there might be some discussion on those. Also there should surely be some more personal questions at some point to find out about my personality aswell as my knowledge so should think about the common types of questions like teamwork and strengths and all that. At the very least I'll get a free trip to Wellington out of it. |
