Mistakes Made During the Interview:[/color]
1. This happened during my interview with a semiconductor company based outside of KL. They asked if I applied to other companies based in KL and they asked if I were offered a job in KL would I take it. Being my first interview and being naive and honest, I said yes. Thanks to that I didn't get the job.

Alternatively, you could just tell them you are getting 3k but you want 4k. Most likely you will not get the 4k offer. If they offered you 3.5k, you would most proabaly take it. Unless you are brave enough to say no, you won't take it and they are desperate enough in getting you at all cost.

maybe you can ask the CEO what is the direction of the company? what are their short term, medium term and long term plan.
