Get Hired

Assalamualaikum

 Ya
Akhirnya idea baru muncul setelah 45hari senyap sunyi sepi.

Update
Currently, me, just selesai with clinical posting @PPUKM after so long habiskan hari-hari siang di sana selama hampir 3months. Coming soon is practical & theory exam which is drive me nut.

So today dari detik celik mata hingga ke waktu matahari nak terbenam, me, ke Seminar Kerjaya FSK 2013 @ UKMKL. Just for knowledge sharing, here are tips for getting & entering an interview.

1. Resume, don't-don't copy paste or cheat

They hate it. Silap hari bulan hang kena blacklist sampai kiamat (tapi rezeki tetap Allah yang berkuasa, jangan putus asa ok). Make it originally yours & you'll never kantoi.

2. Letak gambar banyak-banyak

Untuk extracurricular  activity or LI whatever, boleh letak gambar sebagai bukti dan juga  untuk impress interviewee.

Macam ni ke. Credit to google

3. Make it perfect

Kalau SPM dapat 5A 4B 1C cantik tak? Jawabnya tak cantik. So tak payah nak letak dalam resume. Kalau CGPA dapat 2.99999 je nak letak tak? Ya kena letak tapi jangan memandai nak bundar jadi 3.0 pulak, tahu lah dulu-dulu belajar math. Cover letter? Kalau 300,000 orang memohon untuk 10 post (just say), diorang tak ada masa pun nak baca essay korang

Kalau English very bad & lintang pukang like me, tak payah la nak rate proficiency sampai 7 8 9 10 segala. Sila pakai kasut di kaki sendiri.

4. Bawak IC & surat berhenti sekolah. Mana tahu kalau-kalau diorang tak percaya korang ni warganegara Malaysia. pastikan korang ingat letak IC kat mana.

5.  Knock the door

Jangan ketuk selagi tak dipanggil masuk & jangan masuk selagi orang di dalam tak bagi respond. Let say you are candidate 99th from 100, confirm interviewee dah letih kan. So jangan tambahkan stress diorang dengan ketuk-ketuk hantu if your knock give no respond. Kalau dah masuk tu bagi lah salam, not too loud but not too soft

6. Tangan

If you have briefcase/handbag & folder with you, Rt hand hold folder Lt hand hold your bag (even if you don't have folder). Give your folder by both hands, unless you have one hand only.

7. First impression

Very important. 1st etika pemakaian. Ladies, don't be too attractive. I mean, jangan terlalu warna warni, jangan terlalu striking macam florescent. Paling banyak pun 3 warna, 2 is ok, 1 means not good. Pakai keronsang kecik-kecik je.

Guys, wear blazer if you have one. Plain kemeja is the best with tie corak-corak. If boyot sikit, jangan sampai satu dunia noticed your stomach. Pakai blazer pun ada cara. Kalau dah button blazer, duduk seeloknya unbutton cepat2

blazer 3 button: 1st sometimes, 2nd always, 3rd never

blazer 2 button: 1st always, 2nd never

Jangan clumsy. Jangan duduk selagi tak diberitahu. Let them guide us. Jika kerusi satu je, letak beg kat bawah, belah kiri. Shake hand but don't 'shake' & please do eye contact. Berbasi sikit2 is ok 'HI SIR HOW ARE YOU'. Dari meja interviewee, jalan ke kerusi in a reverse way

Most of interviewee will ask this. TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF. Selain intro, tell them something yang necessary je. Something yang related dengan bidang kerja yang dipohon. Something extraordinary about yourself.

8. Less movement is better

People tend to move more when they're nervous. Sebab tu kena ingat kat mana letak IC, beg kena pegang tangan kiri etc etc.

9. Don't argue with interviewee

10. Do you have any question?

This is mayb their last question. Do not have nothing to ask but do not ask benda-benda macam 'bila dapat tahu dapat ke tak tuan' or berdrama. Ask them something related to the job perspective. 
Impress them. Contohnya "I need your opinion on.....because let say if i got this position, i wonder how this issue will affect this job field"

11. On time is already late. 

Please please please datang ke tempat temuduga awal, let say 30minit awal.

12. For salutation, identify who is the interviewee before enter the room.

13. Study more. Don't enter the room unprepared. Be confident & proactive

14. At the end of session, get up, get back your folder by Rt hand & say TQ SEBAB SUDI MENEMUDUGA SAYA HARI NI, kalau dia hulur tangan sila bersalaman, turn and get your bag, & chow.


18.5.13 hari interview. Wish us luck. 

I love my MEK & AYOH. Semoga mereka sentiasa dirahmati ALLAH. Mek, get well soon, we love you.

Assalamualaikum. Tak jawab kedekut.
