what i supposed to answer if the interviewer asks me

"how much do you like in the programming?'

its for IT job

its up to your personal interest. if you don't like programming, don't take programming jobs.
at the end you're the one who will suffered mentally.
i got a few friends that their hobby is programming. so no problem for this type of ppl.

Hi guys, i have a question. 3 days ago, i went for an interview and the manager asked me whether do I mind if they contact my current and former bosses.

My question is that, should I answer 'Yes' or 'No'? My situation is that I have some conflicts and disagreements with my current boss and I have told him my intention to leave. So, I answered 'Yes', I afraid when the manager call-up my current boss, my boss will surely say something negative about me.

But let's say if i answer him 'No', he will surely ask me why I cant call-up ur current boss since u have already told him u wanted to resign?

I wonder do most companies still practice in calling-up ur current or former bosses to further assess your personality, work performances and so on? However, i think it is true oso that a word that comes from a third party is ten times better than a word that comes from you urself alone.

Any pros here can enlighten me pls? Thanks

just tell Yes. Sometime they just wanna trick you. If you say No then they will wonder why u refuse to let them call?
just pray that your previous boss didnt say something bad bout u. sometime they will call. but most of the time they won't.

"What us your ambition?"

for above question is similar to "what/where you see yourself in 10 years"
tell them you wanna work with their company. gradually get some promotion and end up with being a manager.

How to answer if the employer ask u "How long do u intend to work in this company?"
*
the reason they ask this question is to see whether you're really interested with the opportunity given by them. and not make their company as stepping stone for you to jump to other company within a year.

don't give a number. just answer it in general way.

something like.. i'm going forward to work in this company, get some promotion, give full commitment because this company opened up opprtunity for me to show my skills & capabilities. bla bla blaaa

tq for all ur advice...really help...

i hav another question...at the end of every interview the interviewer always ask if we hav another question to ask them...

so is it ok if i ask them so many things or better i make it easy for them by not asking anything...

LOL my last interview i asked so many things about the jobs that i applied...i think my question to them is more than what they ask me...felt sorry for the interviewer...tongue.gif

thats the best thing to do. ask everything that come out from your mind.
its the last chance for you to impress your potential employer. ask their org chart, their system, the working environment bla bla bla.
who knows you might working with them.

because I'm freshie graduating in may...doesn't it sound weird if I say none?  Would they think i'm lazy finding job?

just say none. say that this is the first company that you go for interview. you can add that you're receiving other interview invitation, but if you're given a chance, you want to contribute and be a part of this company.. bla bla bla..

or you can say that you're helping your friend to run small business all this while. so this is the only interview that you have, and only now you actively looking for permanent job.. bla bla bla..

bluff a bit. don't be so honest.

financial constrain, family commitment... that's what pop up in my mind when being asked.

btw.. i was being asked during an interview 'how many windows are there on the KLCC building?" ohmy.gif
how to answer it tactfully?
*
ask them back. do u mean windows as a windows.. or "Windows" as an operating system? tongue.gif

or u can answer back.. its none. coz actually its not a window but more towards a wall.. rolleyes.gif

or.. i dun dare to look down below if there is any windows.. sweat.gif

probably they just want to know how u answer such question.. like other said.. there is no right or wrong answer for this kind of question..

just my 2 cents..
