Well then maybe it's time for you to work on your resume then. Try redrafting it and get someone to help you with it.

Yeap nothing wrong with that but it reflects your inadequacies. It give the, "Like that also can not remember" impression to the interviewer. So you think it is a good practise?

Hmmmmm yeah, what is hard to remember? Before we drill down on that, my question is, what sort of question do you plan to ask the interviewer that you believe the answer will be so lengthy to which, you have to jot down?

Found this at the last page of Business Today, on the variance of interview questions that candidate would least expect to be asked:

1) Why are you worth the salary?
- Generally interviewers would you to justify why you are 'worth' x amount. It is very much based on your justification and how the employer can see the value in hiring you.


2) Aren't you overqualified?

- It is much of a concern for interviewers, sometimes it happens. So again, justify your reasons.

3) What is the worst thing an employer would say about you?
- Nobody is perfect, there are bound to be some weaknesses. Be open about them yet explain that you are in the process of 'fixing' them.


4) What type of animal would you be and why?

- The more suitable answer would point back to the job description. Eg. the job needs someone outspoken, bold and independent, you might want to link it to a lion and explain the rationale behind.

5) When you look behind you, what footprints do you see?
- Positive changes you have made in your previous jobs and the achievements you have made in previous companies.

In what way did you find the fox cunning? Are there any observed behaviour when they hunt their prey that display their cunning? Are they no different from tigers or other predators when hunting?

Sometimes I wonder how our folklore can say the Sang Kancil is smart.

Haven't you heard, "Cunning as a fox"? Besides, I believe there is always a basis for folklore. God knows what and how, but based on personal belief - there is some truth.

Here, if you wanna find out more about how foxes are popularly known as cunning:

I think you can Google it.

Besides, I'd love to see you challenge an interviewer if this person every says "cunning" to you laugh.gif

Go to English 101 to study the chapter on "metaphor and simile," and you will understand how and why people come up with terms like "cunning as a fox".

In all my cases whenever I challenge an interviewer, I end up getting the job. They usually dont mind if my asking salary is above their budget. In this case we will go back to English101 again and perhaps even Sociology 100 to show why you are brought up to buy these stories.

You are sooooooo cute. wub.gif You must be a straight A student. While most people here would be critique for not using the search engine, you are the opposite. Did you google Sociology 100 as well?

Did you managed to find the solutions when you googled English 101? If you had just asked what is English 101 shakehead.gif Then again perhaps you can go to EE to find out the meaning of English 101.

If only you asked why I choose the fox doh.gif
