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.

QUOTE(fuzzy @ Feb 4 2015, 06:42 PM) 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!

QUOTE(mad-d0g @ Feb 6 2015, 05:45 PM) Well, you already answered that question. If I were you, I'll tell them exactly what you mentioned, it's a contract job and you served your contract but unfortunately there are no more projects to work on hence you didn't stay with the company. If the below two questions were not asked during the interview, I will answer them together with "Why did you leave your previous job?" question. What kind of job would interest you? That's the reason why you're looking for new opportunities and briefly state what kind of job would interest you, which ideally should be the job you're interviewing for. How will you bring value to this job? Tell the interviewer what I learned from the previous job (summary of points) and how you can add value to your next job. Thank you very much for the tips. Now I am confident in answering that question in my tomorrow's interview!

QUOTE(Belphegor @ Feb 6 2015, 05:47 PM) I think better don't say they decided not to renew your contract. Just let them know it's a contract basis job.  I agree on this because it sounds less negative. Thanks for the reply!

QUOTE(kaif14 @ Feb 9 2015, 01:34 AM) hi I have recently did a video interview for a technical based position.. i have difficulty in answering the technical questions and i have honestly told the interviewer that since i dont have experience working in the sector.. i cant answer the question correctly BUT i did try to answer it ... and he just replied i accept the answer though is wrong.. What is it that is he testing... knowledhlge or my honesty??? And throughout the interview, he keep saying "i'm impressed with you"... "i like the way u sell yourself".. "you really fit into being a motivator"... "i admire your confidence" Do you think the interviewer is impressed and want to hire me or they just being nice... thats all?? I have confidence issue and my weakness is i could not present myself very well.. i just hentam and blabber, sometimes i think i dint even answer their question well... plus those video interview through Skype bound to have sound problem.. I keep my smiling face on n just continue to blabber... Ughhhh... any chance i will get hired??? It depends on who is interviewing you. If he/she likes your answers, then you have a better chance of being hired. Sometimes, you may have to attend a second interview session, but it depends on the company's HR. Did you ask him about what is the next step of the hiring process after the interview session? This post has been edited by danny_rocker: Feb 9 2015, 12:20 PM
