Today I have 1 hour interview process with the area manager.

A lot of behavioural questions come up like:
1) How do you manage when you need to finish your task by tomorrow but then the other colleagues are busy and not able to get the data required for you?
2) Tell me a situation you have played well as a leader role
3) What will you do when facing an irritated customer?
4) Tell me your career aspiration.
5) Do you apply for other job?


Before interview session, I was required to fill up the application form.
Total 9 of the behavioral questions need to be explain.


Quite a tough interview session but I think I have impressed the interviewee. She ask me to have second interview this coming Friday with the regional manager.

But I am worried about the second interview because I can't even imagine what are the questions she/he will ask since the 1st interview is quite tough edi.

Nice guide , thanks for sharing this knowledge.

How did you answer then?

Its all about coping with work stress, a good actor can answer just like that after a week googling

How worth to hire u, what will the company get back in return?

Hi guys,

I would like to know the best way to approach this interview question:


"What would the learning curve be for you, should be choose to hire you?"

I am not sure what learning curve really means, let alone to goreng the answer.

Kindly advice, thanks!

I thnk it means how quickly can you pick up the job and be good at it. Perhaps they want to hear how (related to the job) and what method you will use to learn more quickly to familiarise.

^ But how would be the best way to approach the question?

It is easier if the job I am applying for is related to the qualifications and experience I have. But let say I am applying for a job that is not related to both.

Advise please, thanks

Why do you want to work here?
You are already an investor.

(like u kaput already)

It is hard since you did not give any specific background to the question.

Learning curve for a job depends on the job, whether it is something highly technical or highly analytical. Both can be 'learned' but the methods to picking up these skills would be different. Well, how would you approach it? Perhaps relate it to how you pick up the skills for your current job. Give some examples of the time you overcame these difficulties and some relatable attitude / behaviour you possess that helps you to accelerate and flatten the learning curve you require to be good at this new job.

learning curve is the curve that u take to learn something new

Hi,

I will be attending an interview tomorrow. I would be glad if someone could give me an insight on how to answer these questions:

1. 'If there are other companies offer a job to you, would you jump ship?'

2. 'How long do you think you can stay with us?'

This is because before I was being scheduled for an interview, I had a phone conversation with the hiring manager and she asked me the second question. I didn't know what was coming and I bluntly told her that I would probably stay for two to three years.

Little did I know, she said '..but we are looking for one who can stay long with us. There are cases in the past whereby after we have trained them well enough, they leave the company. If can, we don't want to hire a job hopper'

Honestly speaking, I want to expand my horizon and try to work in different companies with different working culture. I'm a bit lost at these kind of questions.

This is one of the most subjective question that I was ever asked:
"Why do you wake up in the morning? Don't tell me it's because you need to go to work because if you can have it your way, I'm sure you would rather do something else rather than go to the office".

A HR person from one of the global investment banks asked me this question. It was a few years back and I'm pretty sure I won't meet anyone who will ask me this question anymore. But it still have me wondering what would be a good answer to this. I can't remember what I answered though, but I'm pretty sure it was a bullshit answer and I don't even want to remember it! Haha...

The better answer is to request our colleague to assist the task, and in return treat them for lunch at the end of the task.

If I m the only person , I would put the task assigned by my direct superior as my first priority, the remaining 3 will be on first come first basis to resolve it. And told them to look for backup if I m not able to finish in time. Assuming they handle the task today, and tomorrow is dateline.

Guys past few interviews i went to when HR pass me forms to fill up, there is question on where i used to work & salary earn there??? Must i really tell them how much i earn or can i put Private & Confidential???

It depends on the company. Usually it is used to gauge how much were you earning and thus, probably how much they should pay you in the new job.

Some company might insist you tell them, others have no problem taking that answer and ask again during interview.

Hi, I will be attending an open interview this Saturday for the position of IT Assistant. The company is ERL Maintenance Services Sdn. Bhd. The only thing I am lacking is a Diploma in IT, but I have some experience in IT support and I worked as an IT technician previously. How do I use my IT experience to ace this interview? Thanks.

Talk about your experience and how it have and will helped in resolving potential issues. With the advancement in IT, I don't think not having a diploma or a degree is a big hindrance provided you have and are capable of showing that you are abreast with the latest technologies or whatever the company is using.

You also also tell them that you are picking up new IT knowledge on the side via the internet, open course learning sites, etc.

Thanks for the tips!

I need some tips on how to answer " Why did you leave your previous job?" because my previous job was on a contract basis and once the contract has ended, the company has decided to terminate me because there are no projects for this year for me to work on. Thanks!
