just to add that the next possible question is do you have an example of this, so do prepare abit for that, it could be from a previous job or if a fresh grade from university team assignments etc.

also confront is a rather strong word, just say you would ask/approach him/her or something similar.

Hi kaffra, you're right. Approach is a better word than 'confront' as using the latter is something strong...

Same as the word 'regret' do not use it as it held a strong meaning as well.

How about "remorseful" sounded?

Regards, Joey

Remorse is also... pretty 'strong'.

Regretted and remorseful is out of the question? How about "felt sorry"? Too weak?

Regards, Joey

Hmmm I think it'll have to depend on the situation and reply to form/ use the 'right' word. An ex-lecturer told me not to use the word 'regret' or 'remorse' in my proposal (can't remember which and why I wanted to use it) because regret is a strong feeling.

In comparison to the others, perhaps 'felt sorry' isn't too bad. It's fine to use weak words but not advisable to use strong words to imprint a deep emotion.

wow...was called up earlier from bloomberg for an interview.
they are askin me to do a short presentation about myself.
any1 care to guide me?

intro name - qualification(mine not very good =( ) - experiences

wat else should I include inside???
should I prepare power point???
1st time going for this kind of interview...

Good to hear that, congrats!

As they mentioned "presentation" why not prepare it in ppt slides? It's better to be prepared than not. You could get it ready and decide to use it or not later on.

It's merely a self-introduction so put in the usual stuffs - edu, work experience, ambitions etc. but since it's bloomberg and if you wish to impress them (in an unusual way), think of something creative. Don't ask me "like what" coz I have no idea

Since its a 5-10 minutes presentation I'm not sure if the slides are necessary.
I'm thinking of talking more bout my hobby and interest instead of education and work background (coz my education not very good).
I'll try to emphasize my advantages that related
hopefully things works

U already know what u wanna do, so you don't any help from us. All the best

hehehehe...just be ur self.. and everything will go thru smoothly...

screwed up my interview =='
damn kan cheong...
need to present infront of other candidate
on top of the stage =='

They did mention "presentation" literally

You won't know till you receive any notification. You mean screwed up as in you were too nervous and panicked? Share with us what happened~

i've prepared my self a so called "script" for a 10 minutes speech
suddenly they require us to follow their format n cut it short below 5 minutes
bcoz of the time n must answer their question(follow format) order i didnt present myself well
but i do give them a very good answer

i am curious. what is a second interview like? i mean for d same company. i have a 2nd interview this Tuesday and i have been researching much about what to expect from a second interview.

but i would like to hear some opinions from u guys that went for a 2nd interview and what is it like...? would they b asking more of a technical questions? or they give u some task to be done on tat day itself then presentation? group presentation? or js normal interview?

can share some experience? thx ya...

If you're confident you give them good answers, then you've tried your best.

Well normally if they wish to conduct a gp interview, they'd do that for the 1st round to 'save' time in filtering candidates.

In 2nd interview, normally it's conducted by a different person. The interviewer you met in the 1st interview could be the HR personnel and this time you might be meeting your direct superior. Expect some repetition like introduce yourself, your edu, experience etc coz this time it's a different person and he/ she wasn't present in your 1st interview.

Yes you can expect more in-depth/ technical questions (if you're applying for technical side jobs) in 2nd interview. You are also more susceptible to be asked on management questions (like how u prioritize work, time management, how you work in teams etc).

All the best!

maybe they already cut short their applicants and wanted to test them one more time. haha so good luck.

you 2nd interviewer are most likely to be you future superior. questions will be towards more technical questions relate to your job scope, and salary negotiation perhaps

does it means anything if the got asked if you have applied position on other company or any offer from other company?

saying yes seem like you are someone tat a lot of ppl demanding, but not really into any particular company.
saying no seem like no so good.

any suggestion here?

lamode,

1) Do you really have ANY offer or apply to other places??

2) Why don't you just stick to "I prefer not to discuss my application with other companies".
