I have an interview with Philip Morris this Saturday. Just got the call last Friday and to spice things up, I was on a call. Not much to worry about though, cause I called back with my 1337 phone call skills and, like what my manager tells me always, "Verify, Agree, Counter"
Verify that the concern is genuine, agree that it MAY be true and then handle the objection by offering a solution (mostly just digressing). Later in the evening, I received the invitation e-mail and hell, it sure did boost up my confidence although not by much. The interview consists of three stages according to my research. 1st is the interview, 2nd is the online IQ test (what a big fucking joke) and lastly, another interview/presentation with the directors, managers and whatnot.
Oh well, I'm happy to get the invitation but I'm not really feeling hopeful as these graduate programs are known to be hard as fuck to get in to. I'll try my best though. Been reading up on how to market regulated products all weekend. Stumbled upon this sweet song too. Enjoy, "Smoke Rings" by The Mills Brothers.
To the one or two person reading this and with the utmost sincerity, wish me luck.

hey let me just share my experiences with you, im sure going through the first interview is not a problem for you. the second phase i think is more like a psychology test.
what you will basically have is some series of questions to be answered within 75 seconds and some 60 seconds. the purpose is not to get the right answer but rather your personality of answering it.
third one is pretty messed up. you better make sure you have some good business marketing logical ideas up there in your mind when facing the question. and being interviewed in a nice big board room with 4 big shots is sure a relaxing moment.....NOT!
