Part 2 - interview

assalamualaikum

now, lets move on to part 2. INTERVIEW...!!! bila cakap interview, mesti semuaorang ketaq lutut kan.? normal, adat manusia. nervous sangat. btw, speaker dia memang best.! abang ni ialah interviewer yang korang rasa menyampah setiap kali interview disebabkan perangai kerek dan suka soal kau macam-macam soalan. 

 interview kerja tak sama dengan interview untuk dapat scholarship. here are some tips for you untuk pikat hati interviewer yang banyak songeh dan kerek.!

BEFORE

1. Preparation - do information and research about the company 

                       - know about the current technology, marketing price, latest award/project

2. Travel arrangement & lodging

3. Dress code - suit and well presented

( kata kerja professional. be professional. first impression is important. your interviewer will look at you from head to toe. make sure korang rembat satu suit kat uk sebelum balik malaysia. yang perempuan pon sama. pakai suit, baru smart. no baju kurung thingy. ok.! sila tulis dalam wishlist.)

4. Prepare questions

(sekali-sekala main tarik tali. ingat interviewer je ke boleh tanya.? kita pon boleh. jangan biarkan dia makan gaji buta. hoho.)

5. CV copies. (jangan letak dalam fail. kalau nak nampak pro, bawak la leather sling bag.!)

DURING

1. Listen to the clues/questions - what, how, when, why

(jawab apa yang disoal sahaja. tak payah nak jadi macam karam singh walia)

2. Be specific, energetic and use active words.

(pastikan segak, rilek dan bersemangat. jangan cakap "i think..." instead use words like "i believe.. i want..")

3. Interpersonal skills

(be friendly. jangan keras je. cuba borak-borak sket dengan ineterviewer.)

4. Eye contact + confident

(make eye contact. basically, jangan alihkan pandangan selagi orang tu tak angguk kepala kat kau. dari mata, turun ke hati kan.? haha. pandang semua interviewer. jangan pandang yang kacak/hensem sahaja)

5. Collect business card

(untuk ape.? hah.! adelah.!)

AFTER

1. Send a follow up e-mail to the interviewer

(ni la guna bussiness card tadi. say thanks and you are waiting for a positive respond. kalau boleh push sikit.!)

2. Each interview is learning experience

(lagi banyak interview yang kau pergi, kau akan imune.!)

TYPICAL QUESTIONS

1. About yourself (name, graduate from, field, core subject..)

2. why should we employ you.?
(tell your strengths and weaknesses plus back up.!)

3. Salary
(cakap je berapa banyak korang nak. say "i expect.. i want..")

4. Current bussiness related news
(know the latest achievements, projects and products)





just to share my own experience. ni masa interview course dentistry for JPA scholarship. (dalam BI, tapi translate. baru feel)

Q: kenapa nak jadi dentist.? kenapa tak amek medic.?

A: for me, family first.! kalau ambil medic, nanti takde kebebasan. asyik on-call kat hospital. kerja tak tentu masa. macam mana suami dengan anak kat rumah nanti.? dah la blaja susah dan lama. plus kerja pun tak de masa nak rest. i need life and i'm so concern with family. besides that, kalau jadi dentist boleh bukak klinik gigi. =D


yeap. dats my answer during the interview. ternganga interviewer tu. hahaha. tapi betul kan.? i said what i know is true and this is the main reason i chose dentistry rather than medic. alhamdulillah, i got the offer tapi kene study kat india. tak mau aku.! lagi best blaja kat uk. hahaha.

and here i am. at sheffield, studying chemical engineering. what a great path that allah has planned for me. =)














p/s: next part, jeng jeng jeng.! my favourite part.! wait for it. =D
