SEO Phone Interview

<p>You're supposed to hear back by the 15th? What the hell? The earliest available time for my in person is January 20nd...doesnt make sense. Im in San Francisco...</p>

<p>your application and stuff might have been pushed back with the people that applied for the 2nd deadline.. the first round of people are supposed to find out by january 23rd if they got an offer or not..</p>

<p>Did any of you interview with the partner firms?</p>

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>Anyone had phone interviews for philanthropy?????</p>

<p>I literally turned my application in at the last possible second of the deadline last night because I had been having trouble for days attaching my essay. I decided to just submit the application w/o the essay anyways, and emailed and faxed the essay portion this morning to every address I could find.</p>

<p>Surprisingly, I just got offered the phone interview...I almost feel like this must be some sort of fluke! I do think I have a pretty good resume, but I wonder if they really are just granting everyone the first round interview as a screening process.</p>

<p>In any case, having been given this second chance, i need to nail the phone interview!
Any tips and experience w/the philanthropy program would be helpful!!!</p>

<p>thank youuuuu</p>

<p>Hello folks,</p>

<p>Been reading the thread for awhile and i noticed its a lot less busy this year than in the past. On last years thread a couple of ppl from the 1st round had already been accepted come this time. Anyone got the big phone call yet this year?? I interviewed in person back on nov 22nd in atlanta and havent heard of anyone hearing back yet. Wondering whether theyre just moving slower this year or what..</p>

<p>i was told that everyone who interviewed in the first round would hear back on the 15th of January, whether accepted or rejected. I saw someone else post that we'd hear back on Jan 23rd though, so i have no idea whats going on. They're definitely moving a lot slower this year.</p>

<p>I had my in person interview on Dec 6th and I havent heard back either. Do you know how is SEO contacting us? Since I will be out of the country soon, I wont be able to answer my phone.</p>

<p>I interviewed on Nov 25th and haven't heard anything back yet either.. on the online application it says we'll find out by january 15th but on their website it says the 23rd so I'm not sure which date is right. But yeah, I've been reading other threads too and a lot of people heard back around now..</p>

<p>hey everyone i got a phone call last night saying i got in!!</p>

<p>oh wow, congrats!!! what school do you go to? and what program did you apply to??</p>

<p>Cool,</p>

<p>So now we know ppl are officially getting accepted. Congrats bubblesCC. What does it say when you log into your application on the SEO website? Is it something new or does it still just say the date/time your app was submitted?</p>

<p>Does anyone know whether they will allow non-study abroad students to do a web conference. I can't afford to fly to NY for an interview in Jan. but I don't want to wait until Feb. to interview in Chi. fyi I live in Indiana.</p>

<p>so i just heard that a person I know applied second round SEO deadline. Had phone interview today and got call back for second round today.</p>

<p>I applied first round, did fairly well on the interview...no call back. </p>

<p>i thought first round got preference...whats the point of deadlines if this is happening.</p>

<p>What if you applied first round, phone interviewed first round but got pushed to the second for in person? I phone interviewed Nov. 15th, heard back Dec 12 that I got the in person and the earliest I can do that is Jan 22. Whats up with that?</p>

<p>they might want to compare you to the applicants for the 2nd round.. </p>

<p>has anyone else heard back from seo as to their application status? According to last year's SEO thread, people started hearing back around now..</p>

<p>Not me, I am still waiting for the final decision.</p>

<p>I sent in my application on November 15th, got notification of a phone interview on November 18th, had a phone interview yesterday and received notification about my in-person interview today. My interview is in mid-January. That's weird that you haven't heard anything... good luck to everyone! :)</p>

<p>Is the January 23rd date for notification non-negotiable? Because I dont want to be applying to banks especially if they are in the SEO program I am applying to until I hear back from SEO. Not sure when the deadlines for the banks are though...</p>

<p>hey- i haven't heard of many people hearing back yet so i'm not sure when they'll get back to us. i would definitely still apply for the other banks directly, goldman's deadline already passed (it was dec 15th) and most other banks have deadlines the beginning of january which is before seo's notification deadline is.. </p>

<p>the applications for the other banks aren't that hard though, just a cover letter and resume and some personal info.. hopefully we'll be hearing back from SEO soon though!</p>

<p>No, its just that in my super-optimistic mind-set I was thinking if <em>crosses fingers</em> I got into SEO then I may have reduced the I-Banks I could intern at if I was unsuccessful when applying through my school.</p>
