well, i'm sure they are alot of spm graduates out there apllied alot of scholarships. though, we still havent receive any letter asking us to attend interview session but it is better to do our home work first and gear ourselves wit the best strategy to confront the panel smile.gif

ok, here will be my questions :
1) to them who sit for a scholarship interview session before, how will the interview session will be conducted?

2) i read from the star, saying tat PSD interview will be in a group interview which consist of 5-7 ppl and will take around one hour. in this one hour, what will they do? discuss bout a topic? a topic bout wat? general issue or some more complicated?

3) is it neccesary to use some bombastic words or smart appearance to impress the panel? like wearing tie etc...

erm... that's all for now. after doing some google, here some tips:
* Your personal history in terms of education, employment, and (some) family. How each shaped you as a person, and how each affected your values and dreams.
* Any awards, championships, honors, distinctions you have won.
* Hopes, dreams and plans for the future, how you plan to attain them and why they are so important to you.
* Hobbies and personal interests.
* Your personal financial standing, and that of your parents, especially if the scholarship is need-based.
* Any questions you may have for the interviewer, relevant to the interview. It can't hurt to come up with a few of these. It will make you look even more enthusiastic.
* Arrive ten minutes early. Do not be late. If something comes up that will prevent you from arriving on time, call as soon as you can so the interviewer can either attend to other matters while waiting, or rescheduling for a more convenient time.
* Men, wear a jacket and tie, women, a suit or conservative dress/skirt. Dress as though you're attending a job interview. Do not wear jeans, t-shirts or casual clothing. This cannot be stressed enough.
* Make eye contact, sit up straight, and give a firm handshake. No gum, coffee, food or cigarettes are to be brought into the interview.
* Answer all questions as briefly and candidly as propriety allows. Avoid rambling. If you've prepared sufficiently, the answers will already be on the tip of your tongue. If you're confused by a question, don't hesitate to ask the interviewer to clarify. It certainly beats a grasping, directionless response.
* Be positive and enthusiastic about the scholarship and about your own future. Smile. Foster easy conversation.
