Worrying For My Interview

I have already taken my interview a week and a half ago and they are suppose to reply me by 14th May....and the deadline is drawing near. Whether I got accepted or not they'll let me know but currently I know nothing.I think I did alright in my interview and Sara this is especially for you since you wanna know the details of my interview
Venue: Dorset Hotel
Time :11.30 am
Interview by : A Pharmacist and a Doctor
D opens the door for me while I walked in
S : Gd morning!
D&P : Hello, good morning to you too.
S took a seat in front of them
P :So from what I see in your academic results, you're a bright student and your teacher
gave a good comment about you. Tell me about your co-curricular activities in school.
S :Well, I am quite active in my Music Club,Maths Club and Table Tennis which I was the
President,Vice President and AJK respectively. I represented my school in the Recorder
playing competition for a number of years and I also represented my school in this
national Maths Quiz. Besides that, i am also the President of the Resource Room namely
The Board Of Librarians. I also represented my sports house in 4 x 100m as well as
the long jump....even though i'm rather small. (Laughs quietly)
D :Haha, yes you're rather petite. So why do you apply for Pharmacy?
S :Well, since young I'm interested in knowing why ppl get sick and how does the medicine
work. At first I would like to be a doctor so that I can know more but aft thinking bout it
aft SPM, I decided I wanted to do smth which is behind the scene you know, like a
pharmacist's job is to understand the nature of human body but yet knows more bout
drugs and their abilities.
P :I don't get it, what you're saying is opposing what you said in the first place. You're
Interested in curing ppl and the way to do it but you don't want to be a doctor?
D :No, what she meant was she wants to be a pharmacist because she wants to learn the
same stuff as doctors but she likes to work behind the scene not out in the open treating
ppl.
P :I see.Sorry for the misunderstanding.Tel me what qualities do you think a pharmacist
should have?
S : I think a pharmacist should be patient as the field of study is tough almost like that in
medicine.He/she also must be willing to work hard for being a pharmacist involves
long term studying as science and technologies advances and more types of drugs are
being discovered.
D : Here at IMU we don't spoon feed our students.Most of the time students have to be
independent.Why pick IMU in the frist place?
S :I am aware of that and it is similar to Form 6 where the teacher flips through 30 pages
in 40 minutes and expects you to know the entire 2 to 3 chaptersI'm prepared to self
learn as I'm already used to doing it in Form 6.and to answer your question, I'll have to
take us back in time to when i jsut recieved my results for SPM. That was the time I
decided I wanted to do Pharmacy. then i also decided to take F6. And then pops the
question on whether i should take Phy/Chem or bio/Clem. I opted with Phy/Chem
cause certain unis accept Phy students to take up Pharmacy. And if i don't do well in
STPM then at least i have a back up plan and I can do engineering to. So i need to scout
around to see which uni will accept me with Phy. And I heard bout IMu from my
friends and from education fairs. So I learned that IMU is quite a premier Uni in Kl
and you do accept Phy students and thats what made me decide to pick IMU.
D : Tell me something about youself that is not in the application form.
S :Err...well I do have this bad experience when i was younger in about Form 3. i used to
have this birth mark on my right cheek.And boys used to tease me and there was once
in a camp i attended Iw as the only one without a dance partner.I used to think guys are
mean.But aft I remove the mark I began to see things differently and with more
confidence.
P :So in future whenever you come across smth similar what do you think is the ebst way
to oversome it?
S :Based on what I've been through, i think it would be wish to laugh it off and to take it as
a joke.This way when they know you don't take them seriously they'll just drop it.
D :Thank you...that is very interesting.You may go now.
I got up thanked them and turned towards the door
P :Hold on a minute. This is a plastic bottle. Besides storing water what else can you do
with it?
S :(Oh shit) Well, you can always cut it into two and use it to plant smth just place some gel
into it.Or u can cut holes and try to make a flute.Or u can make a little lantern.
P :Anything else? (I hate him)
S : Err......
P :Its alright u can go.Thank you.

Well..besides his weird-ass comment on the plastic bottle I think the interview went smashingly well! I think he might have wanted u to answer sth medical/pharmaceutical about the bottle, but I think ur response was much better - more humor. Now he knows รบ haev a terrific sense of humor as well as a BRIGHT mind. Cngrats, gurl! Couldn´t have done better :D I´m praying for u to get in too.
