Hy all.. Last time I've went to walk in interview in company A. Is it ok if I come again for another walk in interview weeks afterwards, but this time i wanna try for different position. Would they treat me as a new candidate? since they have my previous itview records alredy. Last time they said results will be out within 2 weeks, but I assume i'd failed already.

Good info. One of our best performing staff today actually came 45 minutes late with no proper excuse but we hired him anyway because we were desperate back then, but I still wouldn't recommend taking that risk with a job interview haha

Hi,
I have a question. Usually when a company calls you for interview, what is the purpose of them asking for a copy of your result transcript and passport sized photo?

Results = to verify your mentioned qualification Photo = to stick onto the application form so people remember you during and post interview

To see empathy. If you pull up strict thingy.. you're in problem actually at the first place. 2. Even meet customer, sometimes late and sometime customer or late. So need to learn this situation. Unless you hired non executive most will see strict is a must. 3. Location,Location. If before some people will come 1 day before interview session but sometimes if something happen +- like pancit tire how? I do hope some give exact location. not diagram location.. Even some give google maps also wrong location.

However, in my personal opinion, the results doesn't make much sense though. Firstly, the provided cert(s) would already show what result class one individual is in. Secondly, if an individual has been working for years, shouldn't his or her experience(s) matters more than a mere university/college results? I thought It was rather funny for a company to request for results for senior positions. Nevertheless, I guess that is one of the "Standard" procedures for hiring in malaysia.

It is also partly to check against fake certs, etc.. And many of the HR simply ask for the sake of asking, without actually diving into the individual transcripts

Thanks for your input. iirc the perosn who called me said the person in charge of the interview need to balik kampung before CNY. Btw the interview is held on February 7th, so I assume it is an informal interview?

Hi all,
Say if the HR calls me and "verbally" tells me that I am hired, and they are processing the documentation and approval .. Usually how long should I expect the documents to be ready?
Is there any chance during this waiting period, they reject me? (Probably due to company restructure / save cost etc?)

Usually it takes a week or two. Yes, they can still reject you during this period.
Do not tender your resignation until you have signed a letter of offer from the other company.

Let's say after i signed the offer letter can they still reject hiring? And if the current company decides to counter offer can we still void the offer letter?

You negotiate counter offer before you sign the offer letter, not after.. You can renegade on it just like they can terminate but you spoil the relationship lo I guess..
