Student Loan Installments

Deloitte

Hey! Deloitte is interested in me! Although
again for an internship, but still - it's DELOITTE. Which is like, the people said pronounce - So Diloit '.
Granz large auditor. Boooaaah ... 2 World's largest ... 4th largest Germany. Waaauuuu!
Yes, and I could make small graduate internship. The
are interested in me, because my thesis (which was evaluated with a poor 3, but I have not mentioned of course) theme fits perfectly on the spot. Anyway, I was
then 10 minutes before meeting time was earlier this imposing building in Dusseldorf for the business people or Businessloitte herumwuselten, came and went, sat in the staff restaurant or cafe. After I had passed the auto giant revolving door was opened to me a very different world than outside. So I Kams before, anyway. "As a shopping center here". The roof is made of glass, so the bright sunshine could also get into the offices, which were all vitrified.
The center was really huge. There were also small trees, pools, stylish chairs for visitors and a small reception bucket with two nice receptionists, who referred me to a seat.
was where I first weitergestaunt, Deloitte and watched me at my last book, "Let Elite", which I have read and reminds me, then later came back to mind ...
(My last book was the way, "Fucking Berlin - very good book)

Finally, 2 men came up to me. Welcomed me and led me into a prepared classroom. Meanwhile, a little blah on the approach to Deloitte, the question "Do you drink?" And then we went and it started.
Instead - as usual, actually - first briefly introduce themselves and the company should I make a self-assessment and thus the question "How would Describe yourself to answer? ". It was not necessarily to my character traits, but just in general to tell something that I can think of. Is there really a wrong answer such questions?
Do not think - only disadvantageous is quite possible.
So to say that I'm not arrogant so and stiffened, as the two men, but generally tend to take everything loose, would have been definitely disadvantageous.
would have been the truth - but who cares because even the truth at a job interview?! Since it is still only about himself exaggerated great show and try to make this credible ... caustic ...
were definitely my two interviewees both nice, but very unique in its kind
One was "slick and groomed" bolt upright in his chair and was trying to express themselves correctly as possible. His hair was as stiff as it should, however, and constitute a 'casual' hair, like the pony cross hung over the forehead. But the hairs were moving but not moving and would probably not on the rest of the day-to an inch!
The other was as even more reliable. But arrogant-permeable. Thus, under the slogan "I am full of the checker here - worked've been in thousands of well-known positions, but do as if nothing unusual because under cool Businessmen also speaks as if the statement "I am a manager of Coca-Cola Germany" just nice '. "
For such people, I never know how seriously they should take. First, it may well be that they belong to the typical power elite who are very intelligent and 24 hour work day. On the other hand, there are also the so-as-if-door, which ultimately are but Liar Liar, but which may convince a louder mouth than others, and work by self-confident manner.
That would be for me then the "elite self-representation."
I belong to neither power nor to express themselves elite.
I would rate as only average guy, but what I would do interviews with interesting and worthy of rejection, if I were to admit publicly. According to McKinsey consultants
there are "winners" and "losers". I have learned in the book "Let elite". The winners and the losers must be pushed to see where they are - at least this was the statement in the section.
I found really interesting. So I've been thinking more often, "Tick one at Deloitte, too?". When I look at the arrogant consultant has looked at, I might have thought "yes, definitely". He could be like one who thinks in euro symbol and all that is the Euros in the way / in its path shall be eliminated. He could
son of a rich man to have been based on an "elite" boarding school and then on "elite" university (which costs several thousand neuron) and then through the good connections, you in such private stories has, little by little be progressed upward.
without worries and problems to be lifted smoothly from one station to another, because you have the money ...
Such "black sheep" is determined everywhere ... But I
would not condemn this man wrongly. Do not know him. Know nothing about him. He is certainly an ON-man, who has worked hard for its progress on the career path ... ;)

Return to Talk:
After my self-assessment, I still had a few questions about my CV and answer especially on the issue. One of the questions was, for example, "Are organic products more expensive?". Actually, a question that is ok, but afterwards I was thinking that this issue could also be meant from a business perspective and I have only the cost of consumers thought ... Naaaja ..
A few things I did not know Blackout was stupid as well, but i also had my positive points and benefits ...
Considering that I have my roommate 1h before the interview with "bäääh, I have no luuust the Gesprääch" located in the ears, wars acceptable. My goodness, what would it bring if I would be angry for days now about me and my statements at the interview?! This would only mean that my self-confidence level sloshes down. I try as so always prepare myself well. What I would ultimately be asked can I really do not know. And my way, I can not change - at least not within a short time.
Anyway. After 30 min
questioning they have turned the tables and introduced himself and the company.
"I'm blablabla - CV - blablabla and Deloitte is the second largest accounting firm in the world ... and the 4th largest in Germany (the latter statement, he was so proud I do not think - 'only' 4th largest ..). Sales in Germany is XXX "(which interests me - should I care, but so far such statements as relevant to me, as the population density in Azerbaijan), but it went further. "In Dusseldorf we have the headquarters of Germany and generate sales of XXX, in which a staff of about 1,200 people but some people are in sales per person ...". Yes, and who makes sales a month is not enough to be labeled as "losers" and flies - already clear. Oh, and that all work from at least 7 bis 21 clock I can imagine myself already ...
I would certainly after the statements with the numbers first to make huge, shiny eyes must with "Woooow, tooolll, boooaahh" to bring my enthusiasm and emotional commitment to these sales figures reflected. I'm not.
I would have done if he had told me, "And in the coming week we set up a corporate gym."
That would have been really great! ...

After 1h dismissed me.
The sentence "We will contact you," I think just now only uncreative. Or rather cult?
matter. It means just wait ... probably due to the cancellation.

I would really like to start at Deloitte.
It represents for me something like a different world in which I would really like to purely a taste of times. An internship would be not mandatory. 6 months sniff and see how the people at Deloitte tick ... I'm interested now even more than the tasks that would be there waiting for me.


.. few days later ..

e-mail with subject "We unfortunately do not come together." Sounds, as would give me a basket. "You are not what I imagine in a dream partner, we are unfortunately not one another." Also possible: "I got lost, unfortunately we can not find each other." Or "We still are both blind - we can not find each other, unfortunately."
pity. Tough luck.
