Corporate America, here I come!!!!

So, the longings and desires of my heart, that I had expressed in my earlier entry...

Stuart sent ppl an email about an internship on Weds of last week. I promptly emailed my resume to the contact AN HOUR after the email was sent. By Friday, I had gotten the call for an interview. Mind you, this was my last day at NRDC. AHH, set for an interview before my last internship ended. And I had applied to only 5 internships, my top 5.

Anyways, so I studied studied studied for the weekend, bought a new suit at Jcrew (not for the interview, for others) and even made a portfolio, intense questions to ask, etc.

The bad.

Monday, I left at 7:30 AM to drive to my interview at 10:00 AM. It was raining, tons of traffic. At 9:15, I called to let them know that I would be HALF AN HOUR late.(and this drive should only take an hour, mind you). I was scared and thinking I was screwed. Luckily, everyone was understanding. However, the tardiness left me flustered. There I was, interviewing in the conference room a.k.a. interrogation room. One after another, 3 ppl, 3 hours. Then, I was told that I needed to come back the next day to see the big bosses. Yipes. No MD for me that Monday.

So the next day, I made sure to get there 1 hour, 15 minutes before interview time. I had my game face on, my new suit on, and I was ready! And I had my looong interviews again, filled out applications, and it was done. They had chosen my resume only, out of the ppl that applied. They actually told me this, and that they didn't want to interview anyone else.

Still, with my performance and tardiness on the first day, I was a bit iffy.

But, by Thursday, my new supervisor had called to congratulate me on being..... Human Resources Intern at MS:)

Yes ppl, top investment banking company (Fortune's 30th largest company and 10th on the 100 MBA Employers List), a place that ppl KILL to get into. I have done it, 1 month shy of turning 23! Soooo elated:)

I start on September 11th, and I can't wait!


And in other news, I became a woman this week too! Go me!
