The Sound of Silence

It has been a while but I'm back.

The reason for the hiatus is simple - work overload and (more honestly) other priorities. The blog is/was important to me, but I found that whenever I made a to do list in my head the blog was put off for another hour/day/week and this became 4 months. Doesn't time fly when you are having fun?

So the plan is to write a few entries over the next few days reviewing P2 and P3 and general comments about the experience so far.

First things first - Congrats to the July '08 class on graduating.

Secondly, good luck to all the potential Dec '09 applicants, that are/will be having their fun interviews. Previous posts have covered this, but the key is can you convince the interviewer that you will add to the class and would they want to be sitting next to you in a lecture / class / group etc.. Simple advice is be yourself, although the caveat is to avoid venting controversial views and avoid charged political or religious issues. Why be yourself? Its simple, the alumni are, in my opinion, looking for fit, pure and simple, and even if you "fool"them and get in you are likely to not enjoy nor get the real benefits of INSEAD. Better to be honest and see where it takes you. But hey, your smart enough to know to do what works best for you.


Thirdly, to the July '09 enjoy the last few weeks doing whatever you are doing and get ready to have a blast.

Well, that is enough pontificating (see WW, I've still got it).

One final goodbye. To the bloggers of July'08 Res, Necro, D.T.L.F - thank you and may all you wish for come true.

PS By the way DTLF - apologies for not including you in the list of most favoured INSEAD bloggers - its more I always viewed you as less an INSEAD blogger and more a commentator on the weirdness in all of us. Not sure that will make you feel better. Anyway, best of luck and I look forward to seeing you on the switch side.
