Hi,

An interviewer posed this scenario question to me: If you need some information or help from a person in your work, but the person refuse to cooperate. There's no other way you can get the information. How will you handle the situation?"

First thing that came to my mind is to always maintain a good-relationship with co-worker. But if the person is not from my department or even my company. What should I do??

I am asking this not because I want an answer. I want guidance on how to handle this if I encounter this problem.

Thanks.

What if the offer is a bit too low? How do I tell them in a nice way? And what if I'm satisfied with the offer? Should I just say something simple like "Yes, that would be fine."? Or is there a proper way of answering?

Hi,

You submit the question in writing via e-mail to the person and CCed his/her boss and your owned boss. If you still do not get answer, you escalate the problem to your boss and let your boss talk to his/her boss. This is what boss for. This is called chain of command.

Hi,

1) Until you have an offer in writing, you DO NOT have an offer.

2) Get an offer in writing first before you say or respond.

3) After you get an offer in writing and you think you deserve more, call up the hiring manager and discuss about the offer and offer proof that why you think you deserve more.

4) If you think you got a good offer in writing, just call to accept the job offer and do a great job. You could alway thank people by taking people out for lunch when you get your first pay check.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, is the correct way!
You know what, I am working on Helpdesk industry. Every job or problem, we will include all necessary party / ppl in the mail.
First, if the problem cannot solve, we will emphasis it to the particular fellow who handle it, if he/she still unble to solve, then we will bring in his/her superior and ask the superior to in charge or talk to that fellow.....
But, I never think of this way when I read fraulein question!!

Hi,

If you can figure out why you never think of this way and how to prevent this from recurring, you would have learned something that took me 10 years to figure out.

It depends. If you CC a copy of an email to their boss, your boss and whoever is involved, and then another person CCs a copy of something, and another and another, you superiors will be bombarded with mundane emails, and most likely won't be given any attention to. Only CC if something isn't going your way, at least your boss will know it is important.

I hate it when people CC emails to things like outstanding orders which isn't even my concern.

agreed. My organisation, CC emails is a norm. its normal to receive 30 emails a day easily.

Hi,

It is easier to filter CCed e-mail and file into some folder with your own e-mail client than listen to some stupid phone call or talk to someone.. And, if someone works for you, you as their boss, should train them when and where to CCed e-mail to you. It is your job..

its internal circulation...

Hi,

So what?? An e-mail client like outlook still can filter the e-mail based on the rule that you had configured.

true but normally i just give it a glance and delete it.

If you had two task and the time that you have allows you to finish only one task, what would you do?

Give me a better answer other than prioritizing which is the common answer.

Anyone know bout MCSE(slg) interview?giv some advise pls...

I had one bad interview few years ago. He was a manager who just join the new zealand company, they do card system.

He asked me, why do you want to leave your current job? I said first of all, I want to enhance my skills where I found my current job doesn't meet that challenge anymore, second is the salary is low.

He then said, if you join my company, after 1 or 2 years, you will face the same problem, then what will you do?

I told him, when the employee wants to leave, it's not his problem only, company bear the other 50% of why the employee want to resign.

What a sucker right?

That is a good one. I ask about their company background, the head of IT ask me to browse their website, hahahaha.

It's an interview with genting sanyen group

There are people who refuse to learn nor listen, the company has lots of these people.

Do the one which earns more for the company, or saves more or loses less, take your pick.

how should I answer effectively when asking with a question like how would U relate ur academy with the job ur applying? what can U apply in the job? I am a frsh grad with a degree in IT course..applying in IT Sales Personnel...Pls advice..

Just say something like.... from my communications with working people, many say what they learn in school do not apply in the working world, but 1 thing which i carried from my education and put pride in is my learning ability. I learn as much as I can about what I have to do and to be able to do it well, blah blah blah.
