QUOTE(ssiapf @ Feb 25 2009, 09:35 PM) Why do you leave your previous job? Actually most people will give textbook answers as pez mentions. but why did you leave your job? interviewers would appreciate some honesty (but u should package your answer in a better way, more tactful). usually if candidate give me textbook answer i will prompt more. |

stand by what you believe is right cos its your right for expected salary. if they dun offer the % increase then their loss.

QUOTE(b00n @ Mar 26 2009, 10:34 PM) Throw the question back i.e. "How much can you offer me than? and let me consider." But to do that, obviously one must be confident of his/her talents and experience. thats bad advice for a guy who states his expected sal in percentage, dont u think? |

QUOTE(Disciple @ Apr 8 2009, 01:59 PM) Went for an interview today, my first formal interview. Pretty much f***ed the tell me about yourself part. "tell me about yourself"Guys, what do you normally say when they ask you such a question? I just told them about the education and a little bit of my skills, ability to work under pressure stuff. I actually know what to say at first, but I panicked when he asked it. Then I went gagap for a while. Crap. just give a general overview of ur characteristic like outgoing, cheery or such... can adapt well to new things, all that textbook answers. its a formality and interviewer also probably not listen to what u say but how u say it. |

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Apr 13 2009, 11:05 AM) Job hop is not ideal (at least to me). There's so much more a person can learn from a company, even with years down the road. No such thing as "i learn everything there already" ...what is the 'everything' anyway? some ppl are there to learn technical, u see. so after u dip into the pool a while, u more or less know the idea, can move alrd.of course u can sit there longer and pick up things like troubleshoot/management skill, but maybe the learn rate is not as much as the first two yrs... |

Tq if sales, of course u ask on wat direction they headed in terms of market share etc. if IT, maybe ask on wat IT initiative in the pipeline, strategic goals etc |

My nickname there is Goldfries" |

QUOTE(rexis @ Jul 7 2009, 11:06 AM) Just passing by.. not true.I heard from someone that when the interviewer start to ask about your hobby, it usually means that they are already decided not to hire you. So far this theory holds true for me. Anyone has a different outcome for this? some want to know ur character better to see wat type of person u are. generally if they duwan to hire it'll be no more questions, save time. i think u are coincidence only  |

QUOTE(*devilelle* @ Jul 9 2009, 10:20 AM) i've been goin thru an interview which the boss only give me lecture instead of asking me question related to interview ... he critic me that all my previous job is less than 2 years ... after those lecture, he said he cant hire a person like me... some interviewer are too free. also i guess cos u r quite pretty la.i was wondering, why at the first place he call me for interview since he isnt satisfied with my resume  he said i was being shortlisted shortlisted for being lecture or what? |
