Murphy’s laws for placement season

The placement season is a big enough rollercoaster ride to deserve its own, special, customized set of Murphy’s laws. And here they are.
  • The job you really want will be posted after you are out of the placement process
  • The questions you have prepared for most will always be asked in the interview for the job you want the least...
  • The job you really really want won’t be posted on campus.
  • All of your important interviews will always be on the same day.
  • All of your important interviews will always be at 8 in the morning.
  • The job you really really really want probably doesn’t exist.
  • Your friend will get the shortlists you wanted. You will get the shortlists your friend wanted. You will both get the shortlists you didn’t want.
