They notified by thru email. The only phone call we had was the very brief phone interview.
How much time to prepare as in....?

If you are asking for the duration, they will let you know thru the interview invitation email after you passed the assessment. smile.gif

I'm sorry but what duration do you mean ? And may i know the name of the person who emailed you ? Did s/he mention the date you'll commence employment?

.... I meant to ask about the period of time between:
1.online application
2.phone interview
3.online assessment
4. Interview email
5. Interview day

The duration as in how long would the interview last. Her name is Ms Ezreena and nope she didn't mention. But you're ought to let them know your expected commencement date for work if you have.

I completed the online application in the mid of May, within that week itself I got a phone call from them, asking general questions and informing about the online assessment which they sent me a link thru email.

A week later, I got the email that I passed my online assessment and proceeded to the interview which is scheduled on the second week of June. The speed of them releasing the results of the interview depends, as I think they adopt an elimination method (I got the rejection at the end of June already but my friend who attended on the same day still hasn't gotten any replies yet).

I have one line to summarise: they looked friendly, but the questions they asked will corner you. So be prepared.

In case you do not know, the interview started off with a group presentation, where 4-6 interviewees are grouped together, given 10 mins of preparation and about 20 mins of presentation on a case study they provide. It's kinda easy, but the difficult part is the time pressure. Bring along a pen to jot down your notes for presentation.

After that it will be essay writing session, where you're given two very simple and direct question and you're required to write a simple essay, no word limit. So, a pen is needed again. They will provide papers but just bring along just in case.

Then the 2 to 1 interview, conducted by the same panel you faced in group interview, I'm not sure is it the same for all panels, but mine actually asked questions based on the group interview, such as "how do you think your team performed just now?" "what do you think you did poorly, and how to improve?" "who would you hire? why?", which is totally out of my expectations, instead of the general standard interview questions. I guess this is the part where I screwed my interview haha. So be prepared for the unexpected.

Remember to bring your file with all your certs of course, thou my interviewers didn't even look at it.

The rejection email states that after comparing my qualifications and experiences against other candidates, they are unable to offer me an employment. I took effort to ask for even more detailed reasons, but no responses are received.

Do let me know if you need anymore guides biggrin.gif
