Fact is, it IS a 6-day job, can't really say " I can consider working Sat".

If are willing to do 6-day week, by all means answer "That would not be a problem for me".

I don't think you have an option here man. Take it or leave it, ya?

Usually they'll ask " are you willing to work late? / weekends"
Then you can answer " ... might consider.." or "if its necessary to achieve our activities, then i will give my full support" or some fancy thing like that, no worries cos they probably hear it all the time.

Bottom line they comfortable with you, they'll hire you.

Added on March 3, 2007, 1:57 pmi did not get the job @ Honeywell. Maybe because I did not answer this question well

"Why did u choose this line when ur first job was in the hotel line?"
My answer : I think hotel line does not suit me so I chose this line. Who knows I might be interested in this line. Everyone deserve a chance to work once right?

Did I answer wrongly?

and the next question the pop up was

"If you find it not suitable then u'll leave us after a few months?"

-.-""""""""

and how do I answer

" How well can u cope with pressure?"

*sob*

that is why one must not answer a question in a negative tone. Not matter how true or how honest one must be, it must always be in a positive tone.

An example of an answer:
"When i was applying for my first job, i didn't know much about it as i needed to start work soon to have an income. But after some time, i realized that the job has somehow limited the usage of my skills and abilities. Therefore, when i heard that this organization is hiring, i've done plenty of research and found out that i have a few strengths that might be beneficial of this company"

Found some articles in http://www.edbagleyblog.com/C-JobsandCareersArticles.htmhttp://www.edbagleyblog.com/C-JobsandCareersArticles.htm

any idea how should I answer the following question when applying new job.



What was the outcome when you had to take a lead in an important project?


Is this a trick question?

Thanks

It always come to a point whether you have really led a project before. If you never handled any project, you can honestly tell the interviewer "I was not requested to lead any project before as my boss assigned me to something else"

if you have completed a project, then you should start by explaining about the objective of the project, what was the plan to reach completion. Then what was the set back you have to face and your action plan to counter these set backs. In the end, you should tell the interviewer what you gain from the completion of the project in terms of experience and monetary factors.

Ok, Thanks!

basically when they ask tell me about urself...

what really should i tell about myselff?

for example, my field is IT, programming

so do i say like : i'm familiar with c++, java, bla bla bla

say something to do wif the field, or something personal?

ex: i have 2 brothers..bla bla bla.. live in where la..do wat la..

Say something that is not found in your CV. Brief description about yourself and your job.

Most of the time, this question is ask at the early phase of any interview. Therefore, you should start with a few sentences regarding where you work currently, what you are doing in your company and what you can contribute to the new company.

im a freshie, i screw up my interview twice by being honest

they ask this question. "wat d u expect from this company?" how will u guys answer this?

*i answer it with honesty, by telling, im lookin for money, as that is the reason why ppl work, and secondary, i like to venture into the field of my interest.......

initially, i can see their(interviewer) face still considering me, after i answer that, their face totally change liao.

A brilliant post to remind other freshies.

No wonder. I answered the same thing.
One more question is "what you see yourself in next 30 years!"
Then I try to be funny by saying.. "Perhaps the next Bill Gates"
I wasnt serious for the interview.

well, the lesson learned here is that, never joke and please tell alottttt of lies. LOL...

That would not be the best thing to do. Interviewers could sense lies..

Lies on your pros and strengths are usually exaggerated and interviewers can sense them... or they might want u to show some proofs

But u may lie a little about ur weaknesses... or just hide them deep in your intestine!

Generally there are two scenarios. When interviewing at a recruitment agency, they can catch BS and textbook answers easily. They usually dont look at your answer, but its how you answer. Enthusiastic, confident? Sarcastic? and so on....

However if interview direct with employer usually end up they like u or not la, lie or not, up to you. Just don't paint an image that you can do everything when in fact you can't...

well, at least lie about the salary stuff. dont say that u coming for $$$, instead tell them u coming to learn and get experience and to 'serve them'

i just found out that employer dont like to talk about $$$, bcoz wat they think is, they want u 2 work work work, and better if didn pay u at all

well... I think I should agree... 1st time working and already talking about money and stuffs is not so cool...

It's better to say u wanna learn sumthing, gain experience bla bla... and learn the art of wiping the boss' shoes...

sure easily naik pangkat one
