i assume you are graduate with eng'g in mech or elect or industrial....etc background?? just my guess aah, probably they will touch on what design you propose or project etc you had taken during your studies (fresh) or your existing job <what you do and accomplishment>, autocad or any eng'g software you familiar with, any equipment / tools used..... bottom line to relax and don't give so much pressure to yourself if not then you will be gelabah/ kelam kabut during interview .... so no worry friend, there are plenty of opportunities out there and wish you all the best ... good luck in your coming interview

**** you can check with your friends if you have <anyone work in r&d dept>

cheers.

i'm just graduated with eng in mech. my fyp is related to analyze the airflow around vehicle and i also joined the shell eco marathon.
maybe i need to be prepared about the questions which related to my fyp. thanks for the idea ..

i dont have any friend or senior that i know work in RnD dept , any RnD engineer here??

Let say you are new to the company.

Newly joined person will always undergo probation period.

Probation period 3 - 6 months, depending on performance. After the probation period, should there be increment in salary or not?

If yes, how much do you normally ask or get? RM300? RM500?

Example: During the interview session, both party agreed to 'RM5,000'. After probation period, you get RM5,500?

My question is, after probation period, he/she should or should not get increment?

probation means : "are u suited for wat we hired u for"

not "if u perform up to our expectation u get a raise"

it does not make business sense to give u a raise for "performing up to par only"

if u r good performer, appraisal time i revise. not upon confirmation.

I thought we can ask what is the probation increment & the increment like during the interview session no? me always ask..

, already had my 2nd interview yesterday with 4 panels, as i expected they asking about my final year project ..luckily i prepared for that ...

wow.. the 2nd interview i attended was much tougher than I expected... sighh

Who knows what the position of QA Analyst? What is the job desc? If any technical question, what will be asked?

Please advise..

Thanks!

normally employer will ask about current issue, current economic to test ur knowledge, which will related with the job

They will usually ask quality related questions. Depend on industry.

I'm currently not happy with my job because of the management and the work mates. Thinking of searching for new job..my question is, is it okay to say bad things about the current employer that we want to quit working for if the interviewer ask us why we want to quit our current job? should I just tell the truth or made up some other excuses?

NEVER SAY ANYTHING BAD about your current employer. Try to be "politically correct" when answering the question.

Perhaps you can say something along the line like "I'm looking for a change in working environment?"

Why not list down 3 item that you love about your current job, and 3 items which you hated most. Then for those you hated most try put them into group can be change or can't be change. That way your situation is much clearer, and that you will be able to show your prospective employer why you are suitable for the job offered.

Try not emphasize things which can be change e.g. relationship with your current boss, and colleague, as these are human relationship problems which can be solve. Try focus on things which can't be solve, in this way, you don't reveal your weaknesses.

Interviewers dislike "whiners", so just tell them your previous job is not aligned to your personal goals, which is to [insert reason for joining new comp]

How about if they ask "would u cheat to win a competition" kind of question..

Depend on company. If the industry is regulated and compliance heavy, of course
"NO, I will win it fair and square with my own effort and expertise"

"Unless you have some suggestions to help "

How to answer the questions from interviewer on: Do you have any question?
And normally what type of questions can be ask to the interviewer?

maybe u can ask about the employee benefits and the job scope for the position u apply for

Ned some tips here, expected salary if i wan 2.2k and i tell them 2.5k. They will ask can nego or not den i say yes. Will I get 2.2k at the end??

If the interviewer ask,
1. why should this company hire you?
2. how can you contribute to the company?

What is the proper way to answer these questions?
