Just finished an phone interview with Simon. Since I have been qian shui in this forum since forever, I feel indebted to this place. So, this is my firsttime giveback.

My interview experience is nontypical, I think. Because I got several degrees already, two fields, three jobs in 3 fields. So this interview is about asking me why are u doing this, after doing this why are u pursuing that. I just put up whatever on my mind and trying to be logical and make sense. Without a mock interview and just prepared for 2 hours today, the beginning is totally a disaster. After several questions, I gained my confidence back.

Recommendation: practice, practice, and practice.

Anyway, I feel good about this interview. Wish me luck with the offer. This is the only school I applied after all.
