 Few days ago I got a chance to apply for SAMSUNG by the university president recommendation. Frankly speaking, I've never thought about it this semester so I was really embarrassed. I was going to apply for the company in fall of 2008.

 My department officer asked me to submit a resume and cover letter one day before the deadline. Only a day was not enough to write them all. She should have told me about it at least a week ago. I burned the midnight oil that day.
 Actually the recommendation is for students who are the first and second of a department. The basic requirements are a good GPA and English ability. The two students who were recommended didn't have a high TOEIC score. The company changed the limitation of the score from 650 to 750. Fortunately I had 870 TOEIC score. Though I'm the third, I got the chance to apply for the company.

 I was really lucky, but I don't feel so good now. There are a test called SSAT(SamSung Aptitude Test) on March 30 and an interview on April. The SSAT is really annoying. If I have much time on the test, I'll solve it well. The time isn't enough to think carefully. I know the purpose of the test are instant understandings and judgements. I didn't prepare well so I worry about them.

 Today I read many interview memorandums and wrote some e-mail to seniors who are working for the company now. I want to get advice. I really hope I pass the test and interview. I'll try to do my best.

 Working for SAMSUNG is one of my dreams.
