actually this company not found in jobstreet or starjob etc, just that my friend work in there so i just ask for the address and send it over.

so far 1 months+ pass since i graduate still no jobs.
apply so many through job fair or online or jobstreet etc all no reply, only this company i post them a letter and they reply me a email ask me for interview.
my cgpa 2.55 maybe consider very sux lor.

in mail they aks me bring along photostat IC, photocopy of cert and 1 picture ( does this mean they want hire me?)

erm, the interviewer is a chinese male manager ( i assume is some ah pek).

so, can experts here teach me how to handle this interview? i really hope to hit it since it cost me 400 bucks for this interview. also dont want let my parents down, always nagging me at home and 1 of my uncle start look down on me sad.gif

the job is about quality control Engineer in some semiconductor company.

1. should i speak mandarin to the interviewer when i meet him? or english.

2. around what type of question will he ask for my job?

this is my 1st interview really hope can get it

Try to be talkative, for me i'm not a talkative person,but i have to be one on that day. By the way, Put ur hand on ur lap, that is wat the agency officer told me .

yo, yesterday night hang out with some good PR people and they teach me how to answer your question.
interviewer: why your result so bad?
you: well results not good doesnt mean that you dont know how to work, the importance is a person attitude towards his work. Look at Bill Gates for example, he's a school dropout and yet he can be so successful. Actually many things we learn in uni doesnt really apply in some of our work. If you're willing to teach me, Im willing to learn. you can entrust your work to me and i will proff it to you uring the probation period.

good mou the answer?

normally when they ask you tell me about yourself. then you say my father n mother retire, im eldest son responsible to support them. then say you're hardworking, willing to learn, and a careful and responsible person when it comes to work.
the 5 years question answer you say 5 years i quite a long period. in 5 years i am a manager in this department and you will be promoted to a higher rank.
