QUOTE(boringpig @ Feb 2 2007, 10:38 AM) dunno if this question fits this thread.. i have been asked on questions somewhat similiar to this, n i juz tell her straight. "i'm not sure how to give the instructions properly since i have no experience on it. BUT i'm a fast learner and i'm CONFIDENT that i will be able to answer this question after attending the trainings provided. There will be trainings provided right?"i got a call from a company for the post of network support.. had a brief phone interview.. she asked me a question and i got stucked.. she asked: imagine i am a salesperson for nike store, she bought a pair of sport shoe and she has no idea how to tie the shoe lace. i need to guide her by giving her the instructions. as i;m not expecting these kinda question, i got nervous and i think i screwed up the whole thing. for anyone here applying for technical support post, any other question similar to the one above? thanks i interview for customer service by the way. and i got hired.

QUOTE(spanker @ Feb 4 2007, 10:45 PM) An experienced interviewer will not accept this as an answer, plus it shows you've rehearsed the answer before the interview, AND it tells the interviewer that you didn't really listen to the question. He/she's gonna ask "you've never tied a shoe lace before?" Major deduction points there. mayb u r right should at least try to answer rather than say dunno...The least you can do is set the expectation, then try to answer the question, or at least what you can do when faced with these kinds of situation and THEN you tell them you're a fast learner and things like that. but that's the guideline my dad advice me... he told me to just say dunno if i really dunno, but need something positive to back it up... he's an experience interviewer.. but he looks for personality instead of achievements... he said that only those with good personality will stay in the company for longer period.. those smart ass will not stay long cuz they will be looking for any other company that offers higher salary. he wants sincere, honest, and willing to work hard. lets say if i tried to answer the question but end up messing it up... the interviewer might thinks that i'm a smart ass n dun wanna hire... if the interviewer ask again "have u ever tied a shoelace?" can answer yes.. but i dunno how to give instructions properly....

QUOTE(cybervista @ May 4 2007, 09:04 PM) Hi Dreamer or anyone ... i think only fresh grad r reasonable to be clueless on their expected salary..If we never tell the company our expected salary -> if the company/interviewer ask, what is your expected salary? How to answer? If we say "let you offer me", the interviewer might say "How come you can't value yourself?" -> don't you see this as we actually de-value ourselves because we ourselves also can give us "a value"? If the company say "OK, we would like to offer you RM4000 (previous salary is RM3800, etc)" -> if the offer is not within the value that the interviewee wants, what should be the best method (the way to say) so that we can make "counter-offer" -> I mean ask for more  Thanks in advance. for an experience worker i dun think it's reasonable to be clueless on this.. it would kinda shows that yes.. u have experience, but u r not the brainny type for saying "offer me" on the salary. if u had already said up to u.. then i offer u a number.. then u come n negotiate?? what's the message here? seems like an undecided person here... should state down a number and be negotiable.. instead of.. "offer me". This post has been edited by slsl: May 6 2007, 07:01 PM |

QUOTE(wartevar @ Jan 11 2008, 09:43 AM) how long must yr answer be when they ask a specific question? if i answer short compare to other candidates, will it give a bad impression to the interviewers? :s Try to read aloud frequently... improves ur pronounciation...Added on January 11, 2008, 9:48 amanother thing, i find myself not very good at speech. i tend to be shaky and my sentences will be messed up and I myself couldnt understand what am i saying. this happens alot whenever i talk to anyone including friends.. is there anyway to improve the way i speak? is my command of english bad? i tend to speak manglish all the time. i find it very difficult to communicate with people, caucasion especially. how am i going to overcome this during the interview? |
