slushie>> that's pretty vague. How "honest" were you with what issue? And does it have a high impact or influence towards what you'll be handling?

Also, it depends on interviewers I guess. Some appreciates your honestly while others might scorn at your record.

like i accidentally revealed that i applied for 2 positions from the same company.. 2 different dept. one of them is not related to my field of studies.

and the interviewer commented that i shouldn't have applied for 2 positions same time.. +_+

You mean as in you applied for job A and job B in the same company? Even if you don't tell, HR will know ^^;

I don't see how it's a problem. You can just tell the interviewer that you're interested in both functions but not sure how you'll fare in the other one (which is not related to studies). Just mention you applied because you have profound interest and would like to know more - if it's possible to rake in an interview for it.

i wish the interviewer thinks like you. Coz i can see from her facial expression that it wasn't advisable to do so. She made it sound like as if I wasn't sure of what suits me. She also commented that the 2nd position has no relevance to my field of studies.. +_+ (i applied for internship btw)

Yes, some times applying for 2 positions within the same company also could show that you're not sure about what you want. The interviewer takes it as the latter.

Relevance is preferable but it's not compulsory. Lots of people jump field and enter jobs that's not related to their studies/ previous position. Internship is fine, it's general.

Hmm well in any case you've gone for the interview and tried your best. Don't dwell into it further, focus on job hunt while you wait for her reply on interview result.
