When I saw the assessment summary and saw \u201cResume &amp; Cover letter\u201d and \u201cInterview\u201d I knew that it was going to take lots of time and effort. I just hated it and complained to almost everybody from family to friends.

No\u2026 Although I said all that, I\u2019m not a kind of a person who says \u201cwhatever\u201d. I actually spent quite a lot of time and effort on my resume and cover letter and by the time I was finished I was getting into it. I actually wanted my interview to go well regardless of the mark I will get. Unfortunately, interviews were done on the week of midterms and I had an econ midterm coming up so I had to focus on studying econ. Unlike the time and effort I put in to my resume and cover letter, I couldn\u2019t prepare for my interview. But since I still had in mind that I wanted my interview to go well regardless of the mark I will get, I got very nervous right before the interview. Result? 18\/20.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I never knew that I was capable to make an interview go well!
