Finally my first ever interview for a graduate scheme - Edelman has replied!I am to go there on the 27th of this month for a day of tests and tricks to tell whether I am what they require. There shall be intelligence tests, presentations and other skill tests - I'm rather looking forward to it, actually - I haven't done anything like that for ages!
It has really hit home that I shall be graduating in just a few short months. Feels very odd - far too grown up and somehow right, very strange.
Gosh once I get a job I will have to be adult about things and understand insurance and mortgages. I will buy shoes because they won't hurt my feet or disintegrate within one month, rather than because they are red, pointy and shiny, and I shall take up gardening and listening to the archers... such things are expected of sensible people, or so I imagine. Or maybe that's the elderly...
Anyway I ramble, I am really excited about my first interview, and although I am very pleased I hope it won't be my last, that way I stand a better chance that I will land the job that is perfect for me(please) and it won't matter so much if things do not work the way I would like on the 27th (although I really want them to).
That's rather sensible isn't it?

Good luck! Be sure to check out this post before you go: http://www.morganmclintic.com/pr/2006/03/ten_questions_i.html.
Congrats! And best of luck. Plus, they do love their bloggers.
Er..... I'll have you know I have not succumbed to any of the above 'adult' traits thank you very much! (except a mortgage)
Great. In preparation read up on the Edelman bloggers (in particular Richard Edelman) and note that blogging is very much on their agenda.
Congratulations Alex...thats excellent!
Good luck, I'm sure you'll keep us posted on how it goes!
I will DEFINATELY keep you all posted!
Thanks for the questions link Blake - they could be really good actually, tres intelligent! There is also loads of great stuff from Forward too. But I will cover that in the build up to the day.
Operation Get Alex a Job is under-away!
Congratulations! I too have been invited for interview by Edelman, but have had to politely decline as I have already accepted a position at Chime. I have been a fan of your blog for a while, and it would have been great to meet you. Looking forward to reading your experience of the assessment day, and wish you luck!
