i've just been called for a CHIT CHAT session at petronas.

i asked whether it's official or not and apparently i was replied, " just wanna talk to you to see whether there's anything suitable ".

so i can assume it's unofficial coz HR termed it "chit chat session"
.

anyone to share insights on this?

btw, i've completed the IQ test and the presentation role play all those stuff already tongue.gif

from application till this stage... oct 2008 - aug 2009

1. Ali Baba 40 up, 29 down love it hate it

Generic slang term used in the Mid-East region for "bad guy". Comes from the fable 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves'.
When non-English speaking middle-easterners want to point out terrorists, criminals, and assorted scum to US troops they point and yell, "Ali Baba! Ali Baba!"

2. Ali Baba 28 up, 23 down love it hate it

Unfortunate term among Iraq War GIs to describe any Iraqi bad guy: looter, thief, insurgent, terrorist, or suspect.
The use of "Ali Baba" is probably not helping us win the war for Hearts and Minds in Iraq.

3. Ali Baba 13 up, 13 down love it hate it

Ali Baba is used generally in the middle East meaning to steal, this pre-dates the Iraq war. The term relates mainly to petty theft.

is there even such a step in their recruitment process? as i'm already working so unless there's a prospect there to take a look into, i'll go

else, if they are just trying to kill time with taxpayer's money, i won't bother showing up.

my appointment is in KLCC tower 1.

don't know whether they are beating aruodn the bush because as far as i've heard, companies that have too much money and nothing better to do will do these kinda stuff.

like just call ppl up to come and etc.

after all, it is "good practice" for a company to always keep out a look on its talents
