I'm going to be interviewed tomorrow morning in the European car maker Peugeot (Nasim Sdn Bhd).

I have everything prepared, except one thing, I have long hair. I kept them tied up in ponytail and uses hairspray to make sure it looks neat. But will that be enough?

I'm not sure what pos will they assign me to because I was recommended by my former lecturer who is now also working in Peugeot. He knew I have long hair but probably didn't know I was keeping it until now.

Any ideas or someone experienced that here? Would be great if you can share your story with me

Thanks.

Hi,

May i know how you apply?

Just contact Nasim Sdn Bhd and ask for an interview? Peugeot is now recruiting, you can see their recruitment ads in most newspaper lol

Guys the passport size photo you bring to the interview do ur dress formal for the photo or normal wear can also???

my fiancee just got an interview with sapura kencana petroleum next week..she is malay and always wearing baju kurung..some of her friends advised her to wear kemeja like modern style..is it really necessary?

if you are head hunted by them then no issue.

Even first job interview also not an issue actually. But it depends on the potential employer i believe.

Not necessarily. It should be fine for your fiance to go to the interview in her baju kurung. But just to be sure ask her to contact the company directly.

Hi guys.. how long does it take for a company to process applications and call u?

just wear a plain colored collar shirt will do, no need colors as blinding as the sun.

and dont make duck face

Lesson 101: It does NOT pay to be honest.

Employers just try way too hard to find the right worker, and end up turning off many suitable candidates as a result.

HR interviewers/managers are very judgmental kind of people.
To them, first impression is everything - if you don't wear office outfit with the right tie and shoes, then you're out; never mind if you're competent.
Must have Datuk or Tan Sri to be your reference, or else you're out.

After appearing the right way, the executive way, and having prominent people as your reference, the HR interviewer/manager will proceed to probe whether you're a top salesperson, whether you're a Romeo who can charm everyone (namely the customers and the office colleagues), whether you're the stuff of managers (can do your own planning, organizing, etc), whether you're a visionary person (like dreaming of becoming the CEO of that company you're applying for work), whether you're a natural leader (can lead and supervise all those below you), etc etc etc.

Next time when you have children, you must bring him up with a squeaky clean academic record and achievements, you must train him up to be a top salesperson, you must train him up to be a socialite, you must train him up to be a competent manager, you must train him up to be a visionary leader, you must train him up to be...... etc etc etc, just so your son can grow up to be hired as an employee.

If you want your son to be a successful entrepreneur/boss, well, you'll have to risk him committing a lot of failures.

Not encouraged.

To be a yes-man employee is much better.

Well honesty is a personal thing and it really shows a person's character. No right or wrong and different people have different opinions about it.

Also to add on that, constant encouragement from the parents is needed to instil that confidence in the kids.

Yes, encouragement is the most critical, imho.
In my case is pretty unfortunate; I have to find and develop my own encouragement (that's why I know it is critical).

Can anyone tell me the procedure, requirements and dress code for a part time job for walk in interview at a mall. This would be my first time job hunting. Thanks it advance.

Part time jobs, usually they will guide you through their procedure. Requirements is usually bring some documents with you such as your credentials (some of them will specify). Dress code, just dress smart. Depends on what the part time job is. If the part time job is to be a model, then you dress accordingly.

i've just have an interview yesterday. That company said that, they will call me back for the next interview but with their client. What does it means? Is there anyone has experienced this before? I never heard about this kind of interview before. Btw, the company is about M&E consultant.

1. Is that a head hunting firm you're referring to? If yes that means you are the right candidate for their client (the company of the employment role discussed)

2. The organization outsourced the employment to certain companies ( i.e Maxis outsourced some of the roles to their partners) so you will be scheduled to meet up with the main organization.

You should clarify that on the spot when you attended the interview...
