    HSBC English written exam

    Today i got an interesting experience, went through the HSBC English written exam. It´s been a long time, say three years after i graduated from the university, i haven´t been in any exam. Though it is not very formal, just an English written exam like a pre-selection for interview, and I didn't know what to prepare, i felt a little nervous. Because i know the possibility of success is -80%, there are maybe 50 candidates or even more for one position. But anyway i just wanted to experience how a international famous company procedes its recruitment. And i should say i'm kind of liking the way HSBC procedes. The exam wasn't difficult, cos' yesterday i did some exercise on the Cambridge BEC book, and the exam type was alike. 30 minutes waiting for opening the class door, 30 minutes filling the application form, and 30 minutes doing the exam, so 1 hour and a half later i got out of the classroom with totally peace. It feels so good to have taken this exam.  I must be kidding, haha...The truth is that it makes me feel the necessity to reinforce my English and Spanish and start to learn Japanese.
    Whatever... maybe today i feel good, just because i'm having my two-days weekend, which is very rare to me.
