Thursday, June 18, I made my final oral exam for a school of the ECB (yes, I canceled because I'm Montpellier taken to other more prestigious schools it).
survey therefore 5hours in the morning to take the train to 6 hours. Towards Paris! Output to a subway where we expect the shuttle SAI wisely.
Arrive at school, given our notice, with a small gift exchange (a pocket SAI).
We all piled into a lecture hall, which is not really one, where the tables are a bit wobbly and where there is a stifling heat!
Well, we completed our questionnaire, and listen to an official talk briefly about the school (briefly I say).
Then we descend into the basement to see our schedule for passing language tests.
9:15, it left for my oral English: one goes into a lecture hall, we will install the face of CD, we get the track to listen, and go for 20 minutes of preparation. My theme? Relations between Spain and Latin America. (Muy bien!). Then direction
the interrogation room: the examiner is supra pleasant, very very nice, it starts well. I begin my summary, then quickly switch to my comment (the historical role of Spain Latin America, Latin America in the current economic crisis, sometimes destabilizing crisis of some political regimes as the predicted failure of Kirschner in Argentina late in the legislative elections). The examiner asked me to comment on the words of the king of Spain against Hugo Chavez ("Por qué no te callas"), I explained to him and opens the subject on a topical issue in Peru, we talk very fast. She said it was good and I say "buenas tardes senor." Well I think I managed that! : D
Back in the waiting room, where the atmosphere is not high ... So I leave my sheets English vocabulary and revise a little.
10h45: Passage of English. Same procedure as English ... Went into the examination room: a woman just as nice as the previous one. My topic is about Obama and how he has made new in the last presidential campaign (Facebook, Myspace, ...), level civilization everything went well. This language was the hardest, but hey we'll see eh!
Back to the waiting room, waiting Camille and on file at the Ikea cafeteria, to take our lunch (sandwich, apple, yogurt). Talk with some elders of the preparation. This was the time of the day more animated ...
(Bashir, a former really nice, preparedness)
Back to the other vessel to pass the tests of maintenance. So we divided into groups, but one that should take care of us veeeeeery arrives late! it starts! She finally arrived, apologized, made the distribution so not too bad, and the trials begin. By cons, do not bother to tell us that 36,000 times because of us you miss a wonderful evening I do not know where ... it fucks bad for us what ... I liked it too, but hey it's only my opinion.
15h: interview. Transition to a professional psychologist who analyzes EVERYTHING! Our CV, our reactions, our actions and everything. I like the end: "You need someone always very positive right?" Reply: "In general, yes: D". it ends like that.
Back to the waiting room where the atmosphere is crazy! (No I'm kidding!). Preparation with other candidates to the test of General Knowledge: Review of capitals! : D
16.25: Maintenance of General Culture. Aaahhh, maintenance veeeeeery dreaded because it looks like the interview "gun" rather difficult. A jury of 2 people (2 men for me) that asks you questions about the world very diverse geography, history, society, politics, arts, ... I therefore
