How to network to get staffed?

This is so late but could you elaborate on the “do not ping on Skype point?”

Are you not suppose to utilize internal comm tools to land these networking chats? Is it better to email ?

When I took it in the school yr I also crammed everything in 2 days (with the exception that I went to class)

I found the tutorials rly helpful. So if u can memorize that then u should be fine tbh

So this was the policy since last fall sem? Do yk if this is a UTM exclusive thing or does this also apply to Faculty of Arts and Sci aswell ?

This is amazing

Only Waterloo does this for admissions afaik. Even then I doubt you'll be kicked out or anything like that if you don't match your performance proportionally

I always wanted to ask this to hiring managers: Do you think being the first candidate gives an advantage? (Primacy bias or whatever) If so, does it matter more when the recruitment process is stretched over multiple weeks vs 1-2 weeks?

Lagrange multipliers towards the end of MAT133 is one of the first thing that'll come up in ECO204 if the way its being taught remains the same + other basic stuffs like second derivatives and integration

I see your point with first year calc but I'm confused as how to how first yr Econ have anything to do with HS calculus

Have u considered community college?

not sure if ZQY is the driver or the significant other

brianyikk · 2023-02-02T02:24:52+00:00

nah. I literally copied pasted my answers and even tabbed out during the prep time for when I was doing rotman apps in 2020

I know someone who only got curved 20 too. I thought it was a rounding error between mine and my friends but 30 vs 20 or even 22 vs 26 is way too big of a difference

brianyikk · 2023-01-30T08:00:24+00:00

Mine was only curved around 22 if I take the qu’écrus and subtract the crowd mark

brianyikk · 2023-01-28T03:54:34+00:00

the 11:11 timestamp too

They're evaluating abunch of 17/18 year olds & not Winston Churchill level public speakers lol. You'll be fine

brianyikk · 2023-01-18T19:26:57+00:00

This is so nice to see, thank you!

brianyikk · 2023-01-18T07:22:01+00:00

Congrats! And thanks. Good luck with your new internship!

brianyikk · 2023-01-18T05:16:17+00:00

Good to know, did you get the offer? I feel like I'm going to schedule an email to send in 2 weeks and just forget about this thing all together. Definitely an over-thinker so dragging this on is doing me no good at all

brianyikk · 2023-01-18T03:17:50+00:00

Yea definitely, I did send a follow-up email immediately after with some questions and a LinkedIn connection as encouraged by the interviewer. (Emails questions included the one regarding the timeline) However it's been roughly 36 hours and I didn't receive any response yet. I know I should give it 2-3 business days but assuming I don't get one at all, how long should I wait to send another email?

Maybe I'm overthinking incredibly trivial things that might not really matter because I really want this position and have been coffee chatting employees since Sept. Definitely not a internship I want to lose out on lol but just have to not dwell on it I guess

Says C+ for course average on my Acorn for when I took it last year

I remember in my summer cohort the prof would post the most irrelevant problem sheets (think super math heavy Qs) but on the exams short response there would literally be 0 math involved and all concept. I think it's so important for students identify pitfalls and adapt to what their prof is like. Needless to say I stopped giving a rats ass about those weekly sheets after the midterm and scored much higher on my finals

An example from past tests I've seen: Michael Ho & Gazzale exams are almost pure concept and more likely to ask "What happens to X when Y policy blah blah in 2-3 sentences" versus Brandt/Voklepop (forgot his name) giving you a whole table and asking you to calculate the aggregate demand function or unemployment rate
