Hi guys. Just wana ask that the interviewer will tell me the result after 2 weeks. today is the two weeks time from my interview. Should I write email or give them a ring to them to en quire about my interview status?

Yeah just give them a call, this show that you are proactive in following up with your application status.

In what way should i enquire them in polite manner?Any example? I scare i wrote the wrong word and srew my interview.Thanks

U: Hellow, may i speak to Mr/Ms <interviewer>
.
.
U: Hi good morning Mr/Ms<interviewer>, I am jonuslee. I came for the interview that day for the position of <insert position>. May i know the status of my application please?
.
.
U: thank u very much.

Is it very difficult? u never spoke in polite manner before?

The best way is to call rather than emailing them.

Apart from what fluffy mentioned, you can also say, "Hi, just wondering if there's any updates regarding the interview."

lol fluffy, when you provided the conversation lines, I thought "wow" and then I read the sarcasm at the bottom

i wonder what is so difficult to call and ask... and how wrong can u get with good manners.

LOL...yea it's always better to call and ask...WHY?
1) you get to know the answer / result on the spot.
2) from the phone conversation, you would be able to roughly know what kind of person are working there (nice / impolite?)
3) if you were to email, you might need to wait in anxiety. what if your mail did not reach them and ended up in the junk mail?

Hey guys, I would appreciate if you can suggest me what to wear for an "interview" which consists of other potential candidates for the job going for a rough brief on what the company does, as well as ongoing assessment and evaluation done by the company.

The company's workplace is at http://hideout.posterous.com/ and from the looks of it they look pretty casual. Like jeans, tank tops, flip-flops and t-shirt.

What do you guys recommend for me to wear, since the company's dresswear looks rather casual? Would it be too ridiculous to wear slacks and a formal shirt?

Thanks for your advice

Hi all...

I have a question here...

Engineering job sometimes highly demand think out of the box candidate.

Can you all give examples what is mean by think out of the box.

If I asked u to draw 4 STRAIGHT LINES TO CONNECT ALL 9 DOTS IN 3X3 ARRANGEMENT, how do u do it?

Their workplace does look quite informal, definitely not the average Malaysian office. But you see a mix of people in t shirts, polos and formal shirts, so the dress code isn't that obvious.

I'd probably still go in with a shirt and slacks or at the most a polo and dark jeans (nothing excessively casual though). Definitely not easy to pull off the right balance between formal and casual dress code.

To be really sure, here's what I'd do:
1) Call them for some other information and just slip in a question about the dress-code for the interview
2) Try to contact someone working there and find out about the dress code. Maybe go and visit the office an evening and try to talk to the people leaving the office or something.

Good luck !

If you ask me, I'd say it depends on the job. If it's a designer/ fashion related work, I think you can flaunt your clothes to show your individuality.

On the other hand, even if you see photos of the staffs wearing t-shirt in a casual environment, you might not want to be too casual for interview. I suggest going with smart casual if you do not want to look too rigid (too formal) yet nothing that crosses the casual wear.

...Refer to fluffy's question.

I think these are easily obtainable info from Google-ing. Try Google next time, saves you time and you get immediate answer to your question

How do you guys tackle this common question "Briefly explain about yourself"? How to make it as simple as possible but yet informative enough...curious

How ur background: education, past experience fit into this job or relate to this position.

Any sample answer for this type of question ?

u too used to answer exam questions with sample answer? ????

It's ur education background and ur past experience .... cannot answer??

Actually, if you want sample answer, try googling some general samples might appear and you could use them as a template and improvise on it...

But since you already have sample questions in your mind...i would suggest you to take some time off to think of your own answer rather than remembering it..in that way it would sound more natural and also reflects your own personality as well

normally how long does it take for company to view our resume/cv or call u up for interview if apply through job street?
i m fresh graduate n i have been waiting for 1 month but still no respond from any company..the status of my application is still "receive"..is tis means that i do not have any hope for the position i apply for?
last time when i apply for interns through jobstreet,within 1 or 2 weeks they call me up for interview..how come now take so long?

It's really depend on the company. Some company called me after 2 hours I sent my resume and some takes up to a month.

aiks..but problem is i apply for about 15 company but no one view my resume or call me up
i so desperate for job man T.T
