Pre-Chicago

The past few weeks have been eventful. Being me means that I am easily depressed and cheered by the turn out of events, cycling back and forth even in a single day.

Let's start with the AerOnion. The AerOnion star has been rising day after day. It's already a culture in the department. Moreover, it's becoming a sort of social group thing. I love it.

Currently I am in Chicago. The story started about a month ago. I applied to Booz Allen Hamilton online. One depressed night, I went online to see what happened with my application. There was no possible way to find the status of my application. I started looking for someone to email. I found an email for the international recruiter for U.S based MBA students. I am not an MBA student, but heck, that was the best I could find. I sent her with random questions, pretty much a cry for attention. She came back to me in the same day, telling me to send her my resume and she will forward it to the Middle East offices.

Two weeks later, I get an email from them saying that they want to interview me.

After that I started preparing for the interview. This is the job I want. This is it. Anyways, now I am in Chicago. To be honest, I went through stress, anxious, day dreaming, excitment .. all of it last week. Now, I am delusional. It feels like a dream. I keep thinking, "Oh my GOD, I am in Chicago."

Just to make the picture clear, to be interviewed by Booz Allen is by its own a big enough thing. In 2006, Booz Allen hired only 150 people out of 3000 candidates. Keep in mind, it's not a small company, it has offices in 110 countries. So, being me again, I told EVERYONE about it.

The current situation is that I am slightly waking up from my dream, realizing that I possibly wont get the job. Now, I think, what an embarrassment I put myself in.

Allhamd for everything. Anyways, I saw Aaya and Raya. I will write about that later.
