I went to the Environment Canada interview, and as expected, it was quite tough. They even had 3 people interview me, but ended up only 2 becuase the third guy couldn't be found. So yeah, it was tough... I met my supervisor and she seems really cool... young too! I won't know the results till next week because 2 UBC students are being interviewed next Tuesday.
It doesn't matter what happens with Environment Canada. After 18 cover letters, 6 interviews and 2 job offers (potentially 3 by next week), I have finally accepted a job!!! As of September 6th, I will be working full time assisting 2 geologists from the BC Geological Survey department at the Mineral Development Office of Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources.
It was offered to me this Tuesday, but wasn't officially approved till today. I had to wait for approval from the provincial government in Victoria and the head geologist there .
I'm really choked... didn't expect this at al. At the end of the interview, I had a really bad vibe coming from Jamie, the geologist that interviewed me. I was frustrated with him too... but I won't get into that. Apparently, according to my co-op advisor, he's quite anxious to have me working with him.
So its really good news on the job search front. If only other things going on now would work out in my favour... >.<
