Interviewed this morning at 11am, one pair of interviewers, one is manager responsible for my department and another one is HR personnel that found me on Jobstreet. Ahhhhh, I felt like i wanted to die, my brain just went blank!! Before interview, I don't feel that stress and able to think and talk to answers those general interview questions!! But not during interview!! OMG, I can feel that i talked until so bad, stucked here and there! I don't even know what am i talking lol.. I just don't know why, my brain will become blank during interviewer asking questions!! When I practice at home, I can speak smoothly... Sad, they said will let me know within this week.. I don't think they will hire me Sigh.. (btw it is an internship position) someone give me advice on how to prevent my brain become blank when facing stress?! Haih..

Need all sifus guidance...
Let say I am staying in Kelantan after graduated... It is far too away from most of the companies at penang (11hours driving distance) , KL (9hours driving distance), selangor and johor (13hours driving distance)...
Feel so tired when I know I have to drive along the damn long distance just for an interview with no granted offer....
Anyone of you could share your experience on how to arrange (time, distance, cost), how to travel, where to stay and what to prepare... Could any hints share?

I would say be honest. Not to say that unemployed is good but depends on how you fabricate it. You can say during the period of unemployment, you study online to boost yourself in career wise. Like taking an online language course or something. When you are attending an interview, you are selling yourself to the company. How you sell yourself matters. Make sure you are well prepared before the interview.
Usually what I do is that I would apply the jobs that I am interested and would have the likelihood to score an interview. Then from there I would just arrange it on the same day at the same location (Ie whole day in selangor/penang for interview). For your case, I'd suggest you get recruiter to find jobs for you. At least it would ease the process and you might have higher chance of scoring an interview, then you can arrange it according to your time.

I see... but most of the time the company would contact me so soon... some take a few days, some a week and some even longer... quite hard to arrange together in a short week.... as need a lot of time for preparation also... travel, petrol, accommodation all plus together damn expensive.... btw, where you stay while attending long-distance interview?
How you find the recruiter?

Same as me. I have the same problem too. Just practise more. I usually spend a few days and hours to practise before I go to interview. I scripted it and rehearsal. I write them in the phone and memorize them. When I stuck in the jam, shower or at gym, I will practise.

Memories? For me is impossible as My memory not good... and brain went blank even if I had practice. cry.gif
BTW, what you prepare and how much time you invested to prepare for 1 interview?

Just keep practicing. It will be better after a few interviews. I used to practise for a few days and 1 to 2 hours a day for 1 interview. I started with writing all the answers for all kind of standard questions down and keep improving the answers. I read them out loud in the car or in front of my family and mirror. I keep the same note for many years (more than 10 years) and reuse it for every interviews. Now I don’t practise much, usually just review the skills they look for.

I don’t think I speak very well yet but at least I can self intro for 30 mins confidently.
