care to elaborate not shaking hands with a malay interviewer ? that's new to me.

noted. thanks. I dealt with Malay ladies before, none of them had this problem. I learn something new everyday.

i had my fair share of interview woes. Before i land on my current job, I have to wait for 6 months for an interview.
I did heaps of research on the company. Everytime it was called off due to my superior have urgent meeting to attend to and what i prepared seems like down the drain. I was to about give up and they call me in for an interview. (for the 3rd time) TO my surprise, the first thing I walk in was they appologize to me that it took 6 months for them to fianlly meet me. the interview went well and i was offered the job that day itself. Finally found a job that is to my liking and the pay and benefits is great.

Sometimes it takes to have patience and search for the right job.

thanks.................

its norm when they ask you to tell about yourself just to warm things up therefore better be prepared.

most of the time when u are telling them about yaself, they are going through your resume, therefore their attention is minimum...

true as well, but some of the interviewers don't even go through the resume before the interviews..

normally what i do is under the columm of expected salary, i just write down "negotiable"

once i was asked the same question, i just reply "climb the corporate ladder".....

but deep down inside, its to be the most corrupted minister if ever i am given the chance.

do some research on the particular person before any events would be good.....

agreed. My organisation, CC emails is a norm. its normal to receive 30 emails a day easily.

its internal circulation...

true but normally i just give it a glance and delete it.
