I got into the P&G Business Challenge as one of the 30 Malaysia's finalists!
Initially I thought I'm going to miss the chance to take part in the challenge when the application is open (due to the fact that I'm too timid to take the risk of not graduating in time if I can't complete my thesis).
So ya, I did not submit my application as I do not want to affect my thesis progress.
But guess what? I got a call from the HR on a Friday, asking me to take part!
The fact is that there were two persons who pulled out from the challenge at the very last minute, so they're looking for new candidates who might be interested to join.
Of course, it is too late to just simply grab someone on the road. So they went into the database instead, looking for people who had passed the 'Reasoning Test' (I did it when I applied for their internship last year).
Somehow they saw my recent application for a full-time position in P&G Singapore and there it is!
I got the call!
It was a really tough decision at first.
Look, a call on Friday asking you whether you want to take part in a 4-days event starting on the following Wednesday WITH your thesis deadline approaching on the Friday?
*faint*
Anyhow, I still need to go through two interviews to be qualified as one of the finalists.
So yup, after a really busy and packed weekend, I got the great news today!
I believe it would truly be an amazing experience as this is the last event that I can participate as a undergrad.
Wish me good luck!
*Crossing my fingers for thesis too*
