I got the call from Knight Frank today to inform me that I have been selected for the 2nd interview!

I totally do not know what to expect at all of a 2nd interview. What kind of questions do they ask? How many people will be interviewing me? Will I be interviewing solo or in a group? Do I have to take any tests?

So many questions; I don't know where to start. Anybody can point me in the right direction?

Saturday night was pretty awesome. So much things to say but unfortunately they can't be made public. Suffice to say, Phuture actually was pretty fun that night. Haven't been to Zouk on a Sat night for the longest time. I'm almost always there only on Wed. Haha..

I just had an interview with Knight Frank this afternoon. Didn't really know what to expect though. I mean, I won't be finishing my studies till the end of the year and they are really only looking for people who grad in May this year. I did ask them this question during the interview and their response was something along the lines of wanting to take a look at me since I have indicated my interest to work with them. Pretty nice of them to allow me an interview even though they know I won't be available till end 2010.

The interview itself went pretty well, I reckon. At times, it felt like we were having a conversation as compared to a proper interview. We drifted off-topic a couple of times with them asking me whether I'll be getting married anytime soon and why girls are getting married at a later age these days, etc. They asked the usual interview questions like "Tell me what is your weakness" and "Which department would you like to work in and why" and "What do you think is the most important quality of a leader/manager". There was a couple of pretty interesting questions that they asked like "Name three classmates you admire and tell us why" and another question that involved telling a story about driving in the rain at night.

Overall, it is an experience. I have gone for interviews before but never for an actual job. The interviews that I have gone for previously were for internships and part-time work. This time, I was interviewing for a management trainee position.

I hope they do get back to me and tell me I got through the first round. *fingers crossed*
