P&G- Interviews

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

I'm rushing for my Pollution COntrol paper tmrw.
Studying non-stop. T.T
13 sets of notes within a day! T________T

But I just went for my third interview yesterday.
My third interview with P&G.
It's been a long way.
I've never thought that I'll be able to go that far.
Making it for the P&G Business Challenge Malaysia Finals is already a miracle!
Making for the third interview...I don't know whether everyone else got the same chance as me. Since I'm not familiar with the routes in P&G.
I don't know whether is this the last interview for me or not.
My path into P&G might stop there.
I really really hope that yesterday won't be the last time for me to step into P&G office in Surian Tower.

Since I'm not graduating this year, the only position I can go for is only internship in P&G.
It will give me an overview of what P&G ppl deal with most of the time. Before I decided to try this field, rather than engineering.

All three interviewers, Mr. Ridzwan, Ms. Pui San and Mr. Swadheen, thank you so much for willing to listen to me during the interviews.
I don't know how did I do. Well or bad. The last step is most probably waiting for a call or an email from either Jolyn or Azurin.
Well, I managed to go so far. Another friend of mine from P&G Business Challenge, Dipesh, also made it.
Let's see whether will we get another chance from P&G.

It's a very high hope, isn't it?
P&G is a global company. Do I deserve to get a placement there?

Mr. Swadheen really made me think.
Think about what I did. To give him good examples.
Marketing and CBD, the functions that I chose, requires me to be out of Msia.
Giving him my family background. Will it affect my job, if I really got it...
Think that whether will I be willing to go all the way out to work outside KL or Msia, either on short-termed or long-termed basis.
Miri?
Think that whether will I be willing to be oversea. Forever? No turning back to Msia.

FOr now, I will tell u..YES.
I'm going all out. No matter where u send me.
Even back to your hometown, India. XD
*Of course I didn't tell him this.*

But will I still be able to give him the same answer later? I don't know.

I guess I shouldn't think too much.
Study comes first.
Let's go back to Water Quality. T^T

P&G ASEAN Business Challenge- Malaysia Finals (2)

Saturday, April 03, 2010

I'm back, from P&G Business Challenge Malaysia Finals.
Woah. The only and only one impression.

Been offered good food, informative talks from the members of leadership team of P&G, involved in a business planning.
But not enough slp lah~ Can't enjoy the so sweet Pyramid Tower Hotel that we had to the fullest!

Good Food: Sunway Resort Hotel Lunch Buffet, Zen, Pyramid Tower Hotel Breakfast Buffet daily, Subway Sandwiches, PapaJohn's Pizza, DOME's Sandwiches, McD, KFC, Italiannies~

Been very challenging..Me, one who knows nothing about business, is involved to do a business plan on selling Gillette Mach 3 Razor in one of the four Giants appointed for 3 hours and 45 minutes!


I was tumpang-ing Pete's car that morning to go to Sunway Resort Hotel for the checking-in. But unfortunately, that fella said he was too stressed up the day before n accidentally pulled his ligament when he was releasing stress + playing futsal. =.= We were late due to peter-in-pku-bcoming-oku and also traffic jam. Reached there around 9.30am. We were late for an hour...

Some souvenirs from P&G. All their products! There were much more of course, I meant, their products!

We started with ice-breaking, as usual. Getting our group members..

Our lovely room~ Only have the time to take it's picture during our last night there. Sorry for the messy bed.

We are supposed to come up with a business plan full with marketing strategy n stuff to sell Gillette. Here are my team members. Team Moxie. Named by Kee Weng. Bringing the meaning of power and dominant! XP

In action. Designing our booth. I wonder when can we can get the photos from the photographer. Aihz. Presentation of business idea to the members of the leadership team, Mr. Avery, Ms. Shalini, Mr. Swadheen, Najima-san, Ms. Myriam.. I think that's all. Commented by them. Reconsider and plan execution!

Exciting! We actually bid RM 40.01. The kiam siap group. haha. But we managed to get Giant Kelana Jaya! Woohoo~ Our first choice!
Managed to sell 44 units of Gillette Mach 3 Razor with RM11.60 (RM12.88/ RM11.99 Original Price) and 4 units of Gillette Mach 3 Turbo with TM17.00 (RM18.98 Original Price). Within 3 hours and 45 minutes. We faced stock problems as there were only 6 units of Gillette Mach 3 Razor left in Giant, which we were supposed to purchase from. Thanks to our mentor, Nanta who actually drives out and bring us back the stocks!

Profit calculating by Wynlyn, our accounting student from UM and KK, finance student from TARC.. While me and the rest, Kee Weng and Haris were preparing our presentation of our outcome of our execution plan to be presented in 2 hours' time.

Yay! Everything done. After final presentation! Time to relax~ Photo-taking time~
We were having Italiannies for our dinner that night. In Sunway Pyramid. Cam-whoring there. In the high class Italiannies..haha

My roommie! Qinmei...can u believe it? She is only 19 years old and she is already in her 2nd year, Business Admin, Majoring Accounting in HELP!! I feel so old~

Go, go! Team Moxie!

And for the business challenge, a BIG THANKS to jolyn!!! Without her, none of these will be successful!! Love ya! Gona miss u lots T.T
