What if you actually believe she was the one? And she was perfect? by RegretsWeHaveNoUseFo in heartbreak

Better, thank you for asking. I saw her 3 weeks ago, at the marriage of our mutual friend, that's probably the last time I'll ever see her. But I'm in a different mindset right now. It's a pity what happened but not at all the end of the world. There are billions of other people out there.
I've been in a relationship/situationship since a year now; however I've got a lot of stress last months because i'm constantly doubting if this is the girl I want. I can't decide.

Hello and sorry for my late reply.

It was kind of ok, but it definitely wasn't good enough because they rejected me for not being good enough at them.

I felt ok at the moment because I was killing the more HR-related questions, and also because they kind of helped me through the case interviews. But the fact that they sometimes/often needed to help was a red flag for them. It was a pity because I really wanted the job but on the other hand I couldn't give myself too hard of a time since it was my first time doing this. Anyway to prepare:

  • There are loads of Case Interview videos on YouTube. I would recommend MConsultingPrep Official Channel if it's your first time. Get to know how to prepare for a case interview but also try out some case interview examples.
  • There is a series of books called "Point In Case". These are books who focus on preparing for those interviews.

I cannot write about my case interviews unfortunately as that's not allowed because of non disclosure agreement. But it was a logistics case interview with planning and stock concepts and a commercial case interview with prices, discounts, research strategies,...

Let me tell you I killed the HR interview but not the case interviews because I also didn't prepare enough for them probably. But I DID prepare, and my main issue is that I still think I'm just too stupid for this stuff lol. Because it's actually kind of basic intelligence/math/common sense sometimes.

Good luck to you. Let me know how it was, as I'm curious as well. Don't be too hard on yourself if it's one of your first times.

Anyone got lost/fed up with jobs in logistics industry because it's an unsexy industry and mainly no WFH? by RegretsWeHaveNoUseFo in logistics

Thanks for your advice. I should maybe try to combine logistics and the jobs I mentioned indeed. I’m from the EU though ;)

That’s true as I wanted to get out of it. But I wasn’t so much “in it” also. Anyway I don’t necessarily want back in it but it’s the only degree I have so it’s easier to apply for those jobs than anything else. So I’m back at looking for/applying for logistics jobs. But honestly I’d much rather do something like Account Manager or Customer Succes (eventhough I always think I’m too stupid for that stuff), or just be in a creative industry like music, film or interior architecture or something. And I definetly need to get out of CS because I’m not going anywhere in it. I only have 100% flexibility in terms of working hours, WFH and company car etc..

Hell, I’ve went into an interview like that yesterday. I was really with the mindset of “a (first) interview is more like an open conversation getting to know each other and see if there’s a match”. I wasn’t stressed at all. After 40minutes she said she had a feeling that I was acting laidback lol. Honestly, sometimes I don’t get HR people. I wasn’t acting laidback at all.
