i went for interview today, and the interviewer told me that he has all my information, and will call me if there is anything... does that mean i already rejected by them?????? or they will consider me after interview other candidates??
i m wondering , will the HR people send me an email whether i got rejected or not????


FYI, i did pretty bad for the interview.. >.<
nervous, some basic question regarding my syllabus also answer wrong and give not much details...... i wasnt really prepared for the interview, i focus more on the company's product and stuff, and forgot to prepare how to sell my points and also my course syllabus... sigh..... it was damn last minute, they called me in the evening, and scheduled the interview tomorrow... actually, if the interviewer set the date for interview, it is appropriate to post pone the date ????

From my own experience, if they want to hire you, they tend to discuss about the salary and the job scope with you in detail at the end of the interview.

Whether they will notify or not, that depends on the company. Some big companies like MNCs tend to notify their candidate about the interview's result. But most company won't tell you the bad news if you got rejected. Even if you call them, most probably they say they KIV for application.

Siew,
Unless you have attended more than 100 meetings you are still a novice when it comes to interviews. A novice should never take an interview without sufficient time to prepare for it.
Yes, you can postpone the interview. Assume they interview someone else on the day they plan to interview you. Assume also that they decided to hire that person but interview you for they sake of courtesy because they made the appointment. It either case (you postpone or did not postpone interview) the result is the same. You missed out on a job opportunity. But it is better to go prepare than to foul up due to lack of preparation.

It really depends on the company's hiring process. Best to follow up with the company a week after to find out more.

hi faceless, i would like to clarify on this. i actually did postpone one interview session this week because i wanted to arrange another few up coming interviews on next week, so i dont have to travel to kl just for one session. i did call the hr person and he said will revert back to me. according to what u said, am i actually forsaken my chance on getting the job?

another thing, i remember last time one agent asked me to bring along my current payslip. is it necessary to provide them the payslip when u're not being offered to the job yet? i thought it's PNC. or maybe once got accepted only they will ask to present the original payslip and other docu to be certified.

ps: just wondering how many of you really send a thank you later after the interview? i just dont know how can i ask for the hr person's direct email.

Hello everyone,

I'm just wondering what would be the best way to reply if the interviewer asks about the other companies that you have applied to/are going for interviews with ?

I'm thinking it would be best to just be as brief as possible, and avoid specifying which companies. But I do remember 1 company where they specifically asked 'Which company exactly?' despite me trying hard to avoid the question. sweat.gif

How do you handle this question ? I'd appreciate any feedback/suggestions.

*PS : this is of course in the case of a fresh graduate, where you will definitely be applying to multiple companies. For experienced people I suppose that you can just avoid the issue altogether by saying "No, I have not applied to other companies" ?

Edvey,
You quoted me out of context. What I said could be true in Siew's case but not necessary in yours. In Siew case the interviewer is super urgent. So, it is likely the interviewer will just take anyone that comes.

I will not give a copy of my payslip. They can sight if if they want. After hiring me they can have a copy if it is so important that they need to keep a copy.

I never bother to thank the interviewer after the interview. I rather spend the time thinking where I screw up.

Just be honest - tell them that you have applied for other companies too and if they want to know more details .. give them too...

They won't take this against you. I interview fresh grads all the time - so I can tell you from my personal experience. hope this helps and good luck

As a fresh grad - they will (should) only ask you based on what you have learnt during your studies..

I am not sure what position this is for .. maybe more details can help to answer further.. good luck

Just send a simple email asking the status of your application... but don't put much hope they will reply... interviewer loves to keep us in the dark "forever".
