Hey guys i have a question.

What is the procedure of confirmation of you as an employee?
I am puzzled because yesterday i went for an interview and the manager said that he wanna hire me. He asked me to report to work next 2 weeks but i havent sign or receive offer letter. What should i do now?
*
Procedure of Confirmation.

1. End of probationary period, assessment/appraisal will be given...there yu have it, your confirmation letter. (Basis varies in accordance to...)

2. Once decided, yu may go for the work. Wait, Ask, Wait for the Letter of Appointment. (Basis varies in accordance to...)

Regards, Joey

p.s: Your question is ambiguous and it doesn't reflect upon your following query.

Hi guys,

Nowadays, wearing tie to a interview is optional or it has become a necessity?
*
Depending on what job yu wish to do. Do yu think working as a fishmonger requires a fine formal attire+tie? Yu do the thinking.

then sure he knows im copying from textbook doh.gif what if i cant achieve, you i deserve termination from them?? im afraid i've been throw out this question by them  sweat.gif

It's not copy and paste, yu nincompoop!

If it could not be attained, yu can come up with, contingency plans, diversification of planning, and if yu are in the managerial position, this would be a testing ground for the interviewer to test your capability to act in such situation.

I want to ask...the operation manager is gonna call me this Monday morning for an interview...is it OK for me to ask him whether my chances to get tat job is high??? icon_question.gif

Yu have quite a stud there. It's your call. Anyway, like "ahjames" have mentioned, they'll most probably won't answer yu in a direct way. As an interviewer, I would say, "yu'll be notified if yu are shortlisted". It's a standard answer actually.

Regards, Joey

p.s: Sounds a bit like an eager duckling to me. Hmmm...

OMAI~~~Thanks for sharing some tips. I would agree with the socks rule of thumb.

Same goes to the tie. Wearing tie with cartoon designs is a definite NO. It will kill yu off instantly.

Teacher interview? What's that? Seeking a teaching profession or being interviewed by a teacher?

Yu may ask. Are they urgently to fill in the position? Well, it's your call. Good Luck.

p.s: Worth a buckshot on asking.

No idea why you resigned before getting another job and what you've been doing... how to offer advice?
*
It doesn't matter. As a matter of fact, you will want to let the interviewer know that you were busy doing something worthwhile and active, regardless of whether you resigned, or being asked to leave or being terminated, and for whatever reason.

What they want is honesty in play here. As long as you come up with some explanations, it will be fine. You can just say you do some book readings, participated in community service, giving free tutor to your sister's in law children, so on and so forth while actively job seeking.

Regards, Joey

p.s: Just don't give the impression that you've been lazing around like a mutt during the "free days."

No, it's normal. The graduation and course end thingy varies with universities/ colleges. My Uni for example - have people who finish their course in either December or June. The graduation ceremony in Australia is only once a year - in April. So some of them who graduated in June waited around 10 months for graduation then only job hunt... and no, it's not a joke - I have several friends who did just that.

Therefore it's absolutely normal for them to ask this question IMO.
*
It's fairly common for graduating students to land jobs before they graduate. It may seem heavy, but you got to start somewhere. Why would someone wants to wait around for 10 months? You do not need to have the paper qualifications in your pocket to begin with.

If they ask you for it, all you need to say is, "Sir/Madam, I cannot afford to wait for my convocation to take place. However, I'll photocopy my certifications once I get a hold of it." Not everyone has the privilege of waiting.

Regards, Joey

p.s: Some can afford to wait. Some need to act instead of waiting.

I just finish my study as a diploma student. In the same time, I got an interview form a company. Here, I still dont have the diploma certificate and i still waiting my final semester result. So what should I do during the interview
Either you verbally inform them or pen it down on your documents.

What if im going for an interview for a job that actually do not allow wearing of make up during working ? Eg in the factory plant , practise food safety...
As i know a light make up is advisable for girls during interview process....

any say on this?
Make your self clean and presentable. Why would you make it as thou you are trying to diffuse an explosive? It's just an interview.

Guys,Tips for improving 'improvising skill' for interviews.
Are you seeking forth something or just merely sharing something? I don't know what were you trying to say.

I got once told by my friend that during interview, try to 'boom' the interviewer by telling 'I am very good in this skill bla bla bla etc.' The purpose just to impress interviewer.

But in fact i am not so proficiency in that particular area.
Is it good to be honest or lie to the interviewer?
Try this move on a seasoned interviewer and you'll see the boomerang effect of your lies (if you choose to lie)

Regards, Joey

p.s: Honesty is always the best policy.
