I tot u suppose do homework b4 attend Interview?

Guys I email a company my resume Monday last week and till now no call and didn't get any reply from my email. Can I say my resume a successfully rejected or there is still hope???

some company take 1 month to contact, maybe no vacant right now

why can't they just reply the email??? Already took the effort to email them.

mostly depends their HR Department lazy or not

Ok thanks bro. If today I don't get any call I am moving on.

There is no specific font

when email openly, the co might or might not have vacant position that u generally applied based on ur paper qualification. Unless u are applying for a specific vacant position that was advertised by the co. if they do not have the post ready, there is a possibility for ur resume to be kived for later opening...

5 Interview Tips You Can't Ignore

Having a great resume and cover letter got you an interview with a prospective employer. With dozens of candidates lining up for the same position, the kind of impression you leave the interviewer with determines whether you get the job... or not.

Yet, many candidates neglect the basics of preparing for an interview – fail to plan, and you plan to fail. Whether you're a fresh graduate, experienced candidate or simply seeking an internship, here are 5 tips you should follow when interviewing for a new job.

1. ALWAYS Do Your Research

You’d study for an exam – an interview should be no different.

Do your research and do not rely on your prospective employer to tell you about their company during the interview. Familiarising with the company and its business demonstrates a genuine and sincere interested in working there.

Look up their website and get to know their company profile, products, services, clients and competitors. Understand how the role and department you’ve applied for contributes to the company.

Update yourself with the latest developments in the industry so you can converse intelligently and address any technical questions which might pop up.

2. Practice Makes Perfect

You will not know exactly what your interviewer will ask, but there are some common questions you should expect:
- Tell me about yourself
- Why do you think you are the right candidate for the job?
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
- Why did you leave your previous job?
Practise in your own room or with a friend. It will help to put your thoughts together so you won’t be scrambling to find the right words during the interview.

Also, take time to prepare questions you might have about the company and the position to demonstrate your interest. For example, find out about the company culture, goals of the company and for your role, and reporting structure for your position.

3. Be Punctual

Sounds like a no brainer, but it actually matters that you get to your interview location on time. Aim to reach 10-15 minutes before your scheduled interview, at your interviewers’ office (not the building!)

- Plan your travel time well in advance for:
- traffic jams - being stuck in KL traffic is no excuse, you should already have expected it
- the time it takes from parking your car to the office – you either will have to park in the office’s multi-storey car park, or outside the building. Plan how long it would take to find a parking spot and go up the lift.
- going to the toilet - if you think you need to go before the interview, plan ahead.

4. Dress The Part

Just like a picture, appearances speak a thousand words. Make a good first impression by being mindful of the appropriate attire for your interview and role.

For corporate positions, wear professional attire - men should always wear a tie, and ladies, no short skirts, tight dresses and cleavage please. And both genders should avoid open-toed shoes.

Check your hygiene, remove facial piercings and no chewing gum.

5. Follow Up

Sending a ‘thank you’ email or handwritten note speaks highly of your character and initiative. Do this within 24 hours of the interview - address the interviewer by name, thank them for his/her time and remind the employer that you’re excited about the opportunity and how you are the right candidate for the job.

Hi, today i missed a call from a company i applied for. I missed it this morning and till now they didn't call back. When i called back the telephone operator answered but i don't know the name of the person that called me and what position. What should i do now? Will they call me back or they already went on to new candidate???

Call them and ask for the person that is in-charged of employments. Don't have to specify name or position cause you really don't know.

Be friendly and they will redirect you to the person

So you recommend i should call back again?

Yup, if you really want to grab the opportunity then go ahead lol.

Whether you got chosen for interview or your application was declined due to no vacancy, its better to check and make sure.

I want it, actually this morning i just miss the call by 1 second and ever since my phone is on me just waiting for them to call back. Thought they will call back after lunch but still no. I tried to call back but i scared it will be messy and trouble some bcs i don't know who made the call, after pass here pass there. Should i give it a day if no call by tmw afternoon then call back or just call them now??? Or email them again?

Nah, it's fine. It's your courtesy to call-back and confirm with the person in-charge since you missed it.
Normally there's only 1/2 person in-charge of employments so they should know who to transfer to.

If you're worrying about other candidates, you can call now before they leave from work.

Ok thanks i'll give them till 4.30pm then i call again. But usually do they call back or they only call you once then move on?

They won't really 'move on' but just assuming you are not available at the moment, they will just continue with their own task at hand in the office.

Call to remind them of your presence will then be able to talk about the employment.
It's your politeness to call back once you missed the call man, after all you are the one seeking the job.

i called. When patched through no one answered, must be at meeting or gone out. Not good???

Keep calling everyday. good luck.

I called them and spoke to someone in hr after lunch. The person wasn't sure who called but said he would find out. But didn't get any call back after that?? Is this bad????

Bro WTA i already called them and the person i spoke to say will find out who called me and get back to me. If tmw they still don't get back to me should i call again or just admit defeat?
