What does the INKOMPASS interview mean? - #DearTBC

Hi, I received a call from Inkompass saying that I'm part of the top 100 in this batch, and they are inviting me for an on-ground assessment. During the call, they scheduled an initial interview with me the next day and I chose the phone interview because I have straight Monday to Saturday classes.

Regarding my phone interview, I was clearly unprepared because I only got less than 24 hours to prepare so I kind of messed up the interview, although I did answer some of the questions decently.

My question is, is there any way I can "redeem" myself during the on-ground assessment? Because I wasn't able to give my best during the phone interview and I want to leave them a better impression during the on-ground assessment.

Justine: I couldn't let someone go around being misinformed, so here I am writing instead of studying.

Ok, so the short answer to this is "There's no need to redeem yourself at on-ground assessment."

The phone interview you did was just for the team to touch base aka to get a feel of who you are. The only way to fail it was to be inauthentic. My interview also sucked, since I spent most of it just talking and talking and talking, so don't worry too much.

If you're worried about the impression you're making, just be ready to give INKOMPASS your all during on-ground assessment this coming weekend! Be the best version of yourself during the tasks to redeem what you thought was a sub par phone interview. It's not too late to turn it all around and be one of the lucky 15 out of 9000 to get an INKOMPASS 2016 slot! That's literally twice as many applicants from last year.

Whoever you are, I hope to get to meet you this coming summer! As it’s my 2nd summer being an INKOMPASS intern, it’ll also possibly be my last chance to meet you hehe. Good luck and let’s meet soon~
