Re: internships 07 that's what happens to everyone who does acct/fins :P I don't have that problem and glad I never will. Like stas I'm more than happy to stay in accounting or marketing and let you guys have your big pay packets earlier on (I sure like my flexibility and lifestyle and would...

Re: internships 07 yeh I agree with stazi, it really isn't risky if you use it in the right way, and of course you need to be confident in your own skills to pull it off. I have found that I don't need to come up with contrived answers because I always have some example or anecdote to draw...

Re: internships 07 CONGRATS! Very exciting indeed, they sure kept you waiting! You've totally shown them, despite them first rejecting you at SDS round! (I still dont understand how that happened...). You must keep us updated about how it all goes etc. PS emailing you now

Re: internships 07 I absolutely agree! Its probably a strength of P&G's that as you mentioned, their recruitment is consistent worldwide, and I quite like that concept (though PS. it means the PST is standardised so it's the same every year... ;) ) but it really struck me by surprise that...

Re: internships 07 I probably am taking it from an ends point of view, and it's not that I don't see the value in P&G giving more than the necessary number an opportunity to go through the recruitment process whether it be for the experience of sitting the PST, completing the data sheet or even...

Re: internships 07 Oh for sure, but really, for this recruitment drive marketing related work experience trumps..particularly when you only have a few spots available and these candidates show involvement in both work and non related things I have pages and pages of stuff im involved with...

Re: internships 07 Yeah, sorry that's what I meant. I think by now all of you have the factors that they're looking for, just need to be within the number of positions they have! Which is why I was musing over why they have so many initial rounds when realistically more then 3/4 of the...

Re: internships 07 Sounds like it went well! To be honest I don't think you have too much to worry about- nothing that you couldve done yourself since I think it'll just be a numbers game seeing as there are few spots. From the candidates that Ive ever come across none of them have ever had...

Re: internships 07 Oh and a huge good luck for tomorrow! You should do well!

Re: internships 07 Actually it's the same for me, it's taken me that long everytime Ive been there in the past. It made me less interested in pursuing it too.. Oh that's interesting! I'm glad to know you were able to give them feedback. You say there were big flaws this year- I'm guessing...

Re: internships 07 Wow, that's awesome! I still can't fathom how they didn't think to mention this to candidates (even just in the later rounds) as it's a pretty big difference from thinking you'll be interning in Sydney, but actually going to S'pore. Not that I wouldve minded (if they'd...

Re: internships 07 So I called them and cancelled my interview I'd be interested to hear about your interview and what eventuates stazi! Good luck for Monday!

Re: internships 07 I'm really keen to get 100% confirmation on this. I trust you were told that at the fair, but what I dont trust is the people giving the information, they may have wanted to make it sound more exciting? I agree she doesn't really seem to be in the loop..who could we confirm...

Re: internships 07 Ahh generic descriptions are soo annoying! Did you ask specifically and find the singapore stuff out or they straight out told you? It seems weird to me that they wouldnt let us know..I wish I had known I'm glad Im getting this info from you, I wouldnt have known...

Re: internships 07 Did you also get a generic rejection letter from P&G shortly after sending in the data sheet which upon receiving the call from HR, it seemed she'd never ever sent it and it was a mistake since they hadnt called even the successful people yet?

Re: internships 07 hmm this is what it says on the application though About P&G Summer Internship Program - Marketing We offer 8 weeks paid internship based in Sydney or Singapore. As a paid intern, you will receive an allowance, staff shop allowance and superannuation. Should you need...

Re: internships 07 Given you're set on Marketing I can see how worthwhile it can be. Particularly since I dont really see brand manageing, even CMK as a really book smart thing, I think it's going to be all about the other experiences/skills you bring which I spose can be best displayed over...

Re: internships 07 On a random note, do you know what the P&G vac experience is like (from what you've heard etc.)? How much would you really get to do is what I wonder. I ask cos' you seem quite firmly set on P&G when so far Ive not met anyone who's seemed to take P&G seriously

Re: internships 07 If only the whole process hadn't been pushed back so late, it's a great opportunity to get a taste of the marketing side (my other offer isn't in marketing) but other offers had to be solidly confirmed way before I even got a call and I got called Friday... Come to think...

Re: internships 07 stazi when did they contact you? I keep getting calls from HR since organising an interview and it seems they're rejuggling things alot. I've already taken an offer elsewhere which pretty much means I will have to deny P&G either way but between getting multiple phone calls...
