SIT Interview 2016/2017
Hi y'all,
I think it was a
month or couple of weeks ago that I went for an interview at sit. Unknowingly,
I actually been to the place before. They overtook the ITE HQ over at
Dover.
You can get there by
taking the train to one-north station and walking over. There are a few buses but the bus stop is out at the main road. The place is pretty deep in. You have to walk quite a bit. Go to the main entrance, and the security guard will direct you to the interview room.
I was interviewing
for accountancy. Those of you who are not sure what is your official
transcript, it's the one you get from your school and not from the portal. You
may have to order it from your student office if you haven't gotten your final
semesters results.
The interview
structure (15 Minutes Plus/Minus):
• case study
(riddle). 3 mins find a solution. 1 min to articulate your answer
• discuss among
yourselves one case study and present to them as a group
• questions to the
floor. "Why accountancy at SIT?" "What other universities have
you applied for?" "How do you climb up the ladder as an
accountant?"
My riddle
Three ladies went to a restaurant. The total cost for the meal was $30. They split the cost ten dollars each. The bill was actually $25. The waiter received an unequal amount of change. As he didn't know how to return it to the ladies equally. He pocketed the $2 and returned the ladies $1 each. Now, each person has paid $9. 3 x 9 = $27. The waiter pocketed $2. $27+$2=$29. Where is the missing dollar? (i paraphrased the riddle to the best of my memory)
This was my riddle. I had a hard time figuring it out initially. Because what was in my head was, there was no missing dollar. How can there be a missing dollar? But since the question asked for it, I assumed there must be a missing dollar. Sometimes, it would be good if you don't think logically huh. So instead of telling them what I first thought, I said the missing dollar was with the waiter.
When the interview ended, I googled for the answer and realised..... I actually got the right answer earlier on. Thing to note, never doubt yourself.
The other candidates with me. One got the riddle about the 3 light bulbs and the other got a riddle about a lawyer and accountant. All pretty popular riddles.
The interviewer wasn't too friendly. And everything you said, he has something to counter it. So be prepare for sort of a debate. The other candidates were interviewing for the third and second time. I was really shocked.
Since I screwed up the riddle, I didn't expect to be offered a spot. But I was. SIT is definitely my back up plan in the event, I do not get into NTU or SMU.
XOXO ♥
