Day 94: What do you mean it's December already???

These past few months have really flown by since we started school at the end of August. If anything, most people I've spoken to feel like this period has only gotten "faster" as the weeks go by. Scary to think that we'll be taking exams again in little over 2 weeks. I certainly don't feel really prepared for it yet. Despite it being some pretty hectic times, I'm glad we still know how to take a break from time to time to do something fun. Thanks to the Africa Week organisers, we had some West African drummers on campus to give some of us a chance to try it out!

Maybe this should be an elective for P3?

CV's are due today for the CV book at midnight and I'm pretty sure that the INSEAD Career Services computer server is completely overloaded at the moment. Never ever underestimate the power of last minute panic to motivate people to get things done (even if it is the last minute). The CV book compiles all the CV's of each class so that prospective employers and students get a feel of the kind of people that come to INSEAD. Apparently a few people actually get contacted by companies who find them from the CV book but I am pretty sure it is a very small number. I do think it's a valuable exercise to "force" us to get our CV's in shape before recruitment really gets underway for our promotion. Although, how do you stand out in a book with 500 CV's?

I guess one way would be to take a really funny picture (perhaps have dreadlocks or a huge afro?) or change your surname legally to "Aaaa" or "Zzzz" so you'd be at the start /end of the book!
