Goldman Sachs Intervew Part III

Wow. Two blogs in one day. I guess I’m making up for my slacking over the past few days.

Yesterday I had a second interview with the regional manager of Goldman Sachs. I don’t know how well I did but he did say some things that make me think that I didn’t screw up too badly. He indicated that if I’m offered a position, it’ll probably start around mid-June.

The whole time that I was at the interview, I was really nervous. More nervous than I was during the first interview. I think that it was caused by two things. First, it’s a second interview. Nerves are to be expected. And second, the gentleman’s personality was a lot more intimidating than the first person who interviewed me. I couldn’t figure out why I felt the way that I did during the interview but after reflecting on it, I think that I was scared. The guy was bigger than me and conducted the interview in such a way that I was very intimidated. I haven’t felt like that for a very long time. So long in fact, that I didn’t immediately recognize the feeling. How weird is that?

Gas Boycott

For those who aren’t aware, today there is an organized boycott against buying gasoline. I know that this is a Utah thing; I’m not sure if it’s nationwide.

Does anybody really believe that this will lower gas prices? People who don’t get gas today will have bought it yesterday or wait until tomorrow. Either way, the oil companies get their money.

I’m a perfect example of this. Last night I nearly ran out of gas while I was driving the van. $55 later, I had a full tank. I paid $3.24 a gallon. That’s for regular unleaded. It didn’t have any of the special stuff that allegedly makes my car run better. And that was the cheapest that I could find! x(
