I have applied other places and just had a few interviews, but no heard from them (yet).

wouldn't it sounds a bit rude to the interviewer if not answer the qs?

how to make them offer 1st
and then how we can req them to increase the pay

sorry to trouble u guys

lamode,

<<wouldn't it sounds a bit rude to the interviewer if not answer the qs? >>

If you ANSWER the question, that means you are NOT very smart and you cannot be TRUSTED to keep a secret.

A) If you go to a store and ask the store owner what is the COST of their product, why should they answer you??

B) Ditto, in a NEGOTIATION, why should you let people know what cards are you holding??

Business is business. You DO NOT DISCLOSE certain things. For example, do you tell your customer about the cost of your product?? Do you tell people what is your salary??

Dreamer

When asked such a question, all you simply have to say is something vague like "I'm looking at a few other options", and stick to those vague terms even if they probe further. "Looking" could mean anything, like looking at a job advertisement, without applying for anything.

A nice simple answer without actually answering anything.

Urgents!!!

Guys, I'm attending an interview next monday and they require me to bring certified academic transcripts. Since i was informed on fri, i didn't have time to get my transcripts certified. Can i just show them the originals to verify those copies???

p.s: Oh ya! There's difference between an interviewer and an interviewee.

postponed again =='

Hi all,

I previously had an experience that the interviewer provides more info / talk more than me (the interviewee). Basically she is giving me all the info on the jobs and required training.

Is that a good sign?

Received a call from one of the interview I had last week.
They rejected me in a rude way after I requested for a review on the salary.

"The hiring manager decided to drop you..tuut...tuuut...tuut..."

I bet you can guess wat is the Tuuut Tuut sound =='

Added on September 15, 2009, 10:03 amI got questioned by the hiring manager before
"Did anyone tell you before that your voice are very soft?"

I answered "Yes, someone did told me before. I'll take it as a compliment/advantage because when on the phone the customer will feel more comfortable with my voice."


then after that they ask me question again, but before I answer, would you like me to speak a bit more louder? then they laugh

In which specific part did they stop you? Did you speak more than required? What is meant by "normally"? How many times were you stopped in interviews?

I have not encounter such a problem, nor have any friends who do. If you really wish to know what's wrong, I guess you could be more elaborate to us.

All the time =='
no specific area or part they stop me
I'm wondering if my speech too boring or what =='

bro, answering "all the time" doesn't help in understanding the problem. In your next interview, play close attention to details. Is the interviewer's expression bored? Why? Did you speak more than 2 minutes? and so on.

The problem could be you, or it could lie with the interviewers.

I'm not quite sure to be honest,

my standard script would be

I'm XXX from malaysia, I'm interested in YYY thats y i studies ABC as my major in XYZ. Currently I'm studying language course at DOREMI because of my interest towards other country culture. Not only because it helps me to serve my customer better blah blah blah. By the way, I'm currently working blah blah blah...then half way they stop
approximate around 2-3 minutes

Summarize stuffs about yourself in 2 minutes... self-intro should not exceed 2.5min (which I still think is too long-winded). Just like you, I would go about talking my education first - both Degree and Diploma (on what course I took). I do not explain "why" I took them...

I go about it this way:

I'm a grad from xxx Uni, which I took xxx course in my degree. During diploma I took xxx (bcoz my degree and dip are of two different areas/ specialty). I did a 6 months internship at xxx for my diploma and I was rotated from one dept to another. The first company that I joined upon grad is Company A and my tasks consist of bla bla bla... so on and forth.

Usually the interviewer would then ask me, "Why do you take this course?" "what dept were you rotated to?" "what sort of tasks did you perform?" etc and I'll explain. Give them a short summary and that'll keep them interested. If you tell them a 'lifelong' story, it will bore them endlessly.
