Just another week

I've finished with all assignments this past week! Now I can concentrate on the project and do a bit more work....

We have made a real progress in this past week. We met few deadlines which is always good...some of the members might contribute a bit more I feel, but it is nothing to worry about...

We've had our presentation which went well....the audience was not to hard on us but I was frustrated when one of our members tried to answer the question from Janet and he had no idea what he was talking about! It was very stupid and I didn't like it...maybe because I don't like to BS to people - if I can't answer I'll tell them that, I wont start talking about something that is irrelevant...

IBM here I come!!!!

The end of the semester is coming so I have less and less time for ...well pretty much anything! Its been hectic couple of weeks, on the project as well with other subjects.

But at least one major thing happened for me last week - I got the graduate position at IBM! I am very happy cuz of it and it was completely out of the blue! I applied to several different companies and IBM was pretty much last on my list, mainly because I thought there is no way I can get it! But what do you know - they were the first ones to contact me, offer me an interview, and later the position.

Everything happened so quickly - I got the call on Friday, had a quick phone interview and arranged the HR interview for Monday (2 weeks ago). I did very well on that interview and was immediately invited for Fast Track Day, on Wednesday which consists of group case study and four (thats right FOUR!!!) interviews....it was really intensive but I thought i did ok....the confirmation came a day later - got a phone call to offer me a position!!!!

Now I can concentrate on Uni for the rest of the year knowing that there is a job waiting for me after I finish!!! Excellent!!!

Problems...

We started having some major issues with the project. The main issue is that we cannot find the way to fulfill all the requirements that client have...well the main one is where he want to transfer all the blob files from the database into the file system. Thats practically the purpose of the project but we are still unable to find a way to do it.

I've posted on few forums asking for direction and we'll see what happens...we're also having a meeting with Janet Fraser to get some help from her....

I've been quite busy in the last few weeks - most of the major companies have their Graduate Programs Applications due now and it is essential to do them well and try to score a graduate position. I've applied to 8 companies so lets see what happens...

Bits and pieces

Nothing much is happening on the project...we had few meetings with the client and I am not sure that some of the guys get exactly what he wants! They ask some very silly questions and I'll have to spend some time talking to them to see if they really understand what we need to do....

I've missed few seminars now, and its a shame! I usually try to go to my lectures but somehow, that's always the only time we can all meet and discuss things....
