First, do your own research.

Second, learn to write English properly.

1. Be yourself, try not to 'fake' it.
2. Don't try too hard to impress the assessors, be natural.
3. Don't dominate discussion, give chance for others to present their views.
4. Try to help others when they are struggling for words, or when they are struggling to express their ideas. i.e prompt them with the key words. It shows that you are team player.
5. Mr. Know-It-All, Boot-Licking, Steal other people's thunder, over-enthusiastic, mic-hogging, attention whore kind of attitude is a big No-No.
6. Be confident in expressing yourself.
7. When answering an open-ended question, remember that no answer is the right answer. Present your points with conviction. That's the key.
8. When asked to deliver a technical presentation, Practise, practise and practise. You can't practise enough for a presentation.

That's my 2 kupang. Forummers feel free to chip in.

Thanks for the tips. I will need them for my upcoming 2 days assessment.

So I guess one has to be low profile yet at the same time, still be able to catch their attention since we are competing against other candidates?

Good luck on your upcoming assessment. As many have said, try no to dominate the competition, but at the same time, try not to be too passive. Balance is key for us job-seekers I suppose.

Exactly. Don't speak for the sake of getting attention. Make sure it has substance.

Thanks guys. Was being told the exact same thing by the speaker who was giving us job interview talk this afternoon. wink.gif

Hey guys. Lets say I get into shipbuilding industry. Would the shipbuilding experience be helpful if I were to venture into Oil & Gas industry later on?

i guessed some of u still cant understand my post haha. thx 4 ur kind replies. ppl said pointer is not everything, i think this some general truth like we all know. problem is, she cant even get the INTERVIEW to give wudeva impression, showing soft skills n etc.. and she won various quiz, public speaking stuff.
if some1 get pointer 4.0 but cant work in a team, introvert, poor soft skills and english or maybe arrogant, then i understand why he's not hired.
and to others, whatever things u may come up with.. smile, 1st impression, way of walk, way of talk, body language, charisma, humility or wudeva u might say, oh come on, most of us are average people. we dont walk like model or like an old man or talks like a president.
my friend, he's just told me, during the session, nobody want to work with him or vote him as the leader, and he has nth to present during group discussion because all other members talks all and he's just there being cool and all but he passed.
what ? u want tell me that he's humble or has chemistry with interviewer or some sort ?
one part of mooi's words i agree. it dpends on the company's needs at the particular moment.
as for mudlogger in my case, i dont they need people who are enthusiastic, having leadership n etc. since many quitting (tough n boring job), i "personally" would like to think they hire people that wont be able to be hired easily so that they stay quietly and obediently in that position to avoid the hassle of keep recruiting since my friends whos working there told me people keep leaving and he himself might leave soon.
but im not sure.
i take no pleasure in saying hey tis guy is noob, that guy is poor in this or that, i jz wanted to point out the facts.

and to heavenhell, lol my pointer is only 2.7 and of cz they didnt look at the pointer since they just call all the people who applied for interview. they didnt even look at the pointer. u talked as if im degrading others but that's what it is.
when some1 used life quotes, it sounds beautiful and easy, "be urself", "let it go"...
to think of it, the world isnt as easy like 1+1=2. its not how good u r, its how u blend in to camouflage in the weaker majority (sumtimes people consider this as teamwork). being outstanding many times is not useful as ppl might be jealous, backstab/sabo u. and there's conspiracies and hidden agendas all the time.
u watch drama hor also can c how good people eventually turned bad after they themselves being framed and realized how dark the world is. sad sad.gif

Your posts alone say enough about what kind of person you are.

And you should be thankful that you were at least given a chance to attend the interview, since there are many more brilliant candidates (with better package) to pick from and your pointer is merely 2.7 (extending some more) whistling.gif

Thanks for your explanation alvinkhorfire smile.gif
Btw, does a master degree in geophysics help a lot in getting job in oil and gas industry? Not sure whether want to further my studies or just start working icon_question.gif

Are you sure you have tried hard enough? Try a thorough research on the past 2 topics (version 1 & 2). I know I have come across contact numbers for geophysicist/ geologist etc
