I got an fairly easy question in my Economics interview, but then fucked it up (I guess 'cos of nerves) at the last stage
I re-arranged a-2bX=0 to x=ab/2?!?!
WAS I FUCKING HIGH?

Geeky interview rant.
Do you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

Making one mistake could actually be a good thing. It shows the gods that you are mortal. Even if it is a dip sh#t mistake, interview nerves will be recognised. If it was an Oxbridge interview, you can get the video and go over it yourself and have a crack next year...if it means that much to you.
Arno is right...Cambridge is not that great, it's for Tabs...Oxford on the other hand is for legends. Try there - if there is a next time.
If you wanted it that much (and you were actually going for a Tab spot or whatever) I genuinly (sp?) hope it all works for you.Last edited by Shorey; 12-07-2005 at 04:18 PM.

Was this a verbal or written question? Was there a time limit?

Edg,
See my PM - it's just a little mistake in one interview. I felt terrible after my Oxford interview, but one is often too harsh with oneself. Moreover, having sat at the other side of the interview room I have not come across a single candidate at an Oxford interview who answered every question correctly.
I also whole-heartedly agree with Arno and Shorey: no need to become a dirty Tab, Oxford is for Legends!Ein Berg ohne Absturzgefahr ist nur noch Attrappe. (Reinhold Messner)

And in Oxford you only see them on George Street on a Friday and Saturday night. Originally Posted by Hayduke
