When attending an interview, it is really a turn off it the ONLY person who interview you is HR.

I prefer the HOD to interview me instead, as they know the job scope and the technical terms related to the position.

HR people on the other hand, most of the time, they don’t know anything. You tell them one simple thing like SQL server also blur2.

True storey

usually they do basic screening for first stage only kan?

cool setori bro

Also ask about HR matters how to solve .. lame waste of time then ask for second interview

that is just 1st round, if you can't pass that you think the HOD will even give a shit about your application?

I've only been phone interviewed by a hr person (to ask details like when is the soonest I can join), face to face only after confirmation usually

Now still got vacancy and interview?

First stage is HR..

Once done HR recommends to HOD.

u purposely pepper ur answers with technical jargon to make them look stupid loh

2 reason... either the HOD is too busy or it also means that the task you are going to get is less important and usually any tom dick and harry in the same field can do it

First round, got 5 rounds in total:

HR screen
Senior Programmer
Manager
Coding test
CEO

wait till you get interview by in laws

TS bodo low position sure la hr screen first, then only the hiring manager comes. Or they will do together.

If TS apply high rank position won"t be like this.

Conclusion, TS kuli je. Jangan berlagak.

Very true

In my place, first interview is done by both HR and me, but separately. HR don't know what I ask, I also don't know what HR ask. Both have the right to reject the candidate.

This

HR memang suka waste time la

This sequence very weird...I think should conduct the coding test before meeting with Senior/Manager...so that they can discuss about the coding test result later...I doubt CEO wana discuss about coding test result.

Anyhow I hate when some company ask the candidates to do technical test and then they just ignore/dismiss it and the hiring manager/senior dont even bother to look at the answered test properly...I have met few unprofessional people like that. Better they dont conduct this test at all.

In oil and gas, high chances are you;ll be interviewed for customary purpose when the hiring manager or HOD already know you.

What shit company is this? Never been interviewed by HR

Good will have second interview. Such waste. Haha.

Normally HR screen is the behavioral screening - this one you need to stay calm and answer the question in honesty. Dont show your frustration when answering, else will be the delisted as a candidate regardless how good you are in technical.
Senior Programmer + Hiring Manager + hands on (coding test) this is done in the same session during face 2 face.
CEO - this is very rare unless your position is direct reporting to CEO in a big corp or the company is very very small.

Normally.. what i got. Hr phone call interview.. ask background.. and set up face to face.. then face to face with boss.. then final round with hr again.. final nego about benefit, salary, date join.

Every interview with hr is like interviewed by a psychopath who just try to downplay you.

HR only lowball you with their so call market salary....

Padahal apa job scope pon tak paham.....

Sometimes HR does the initial screening, if you pass HR then only the HOD will interview you.

kesian TS x lepas first round...

Last time in 2010 I go interview for Hicom.
1st stage HR
2nd stage engineer
3rd stage hod
Then got 4th and final stage with top management, but I said fck it. Waste my time had to take leave 4 time for interview session. By that time I already got another job.

I never had hr interview 1st. Always last. If straight to hr, meaning you are good to go technically just remuneration discussion.

HR people go into HR because they got no other real skills besides talk kok and circle jerk on LinkedIn. Change my mind.

If you cant explain your domain to layperson , you not konsider expert yet

HR personnel want to pok pussy only..

bukan the other way round ka? normally interview by dept. Then if suitable, only give HR to follow up

For me:

HR screen
HOD -> my boss
Culture Interview (another Senior from different departments)
Co-founder
Head of HR (negotiations)

HR is to filter out all those weirdos, ppl with bad behaviours and ppl who dont have basic communication skills.

usually HR look at your attitude first, filter out the bad apples lol

Hod: hr you help me see first. If juling, or behaviour not good, if you ok, then i will talk to him. Not not ok i suruh my senior engineer to iv him i dont wanna waste my time

Hr: *look see atas bawah*

Haha

You didn't give good first impression kot. Normally HR if they see you got caliber they straight way call hod to talk to you. If HR scan though you and you suck, then they sure talk cock abit and then make u Chao only. They just being courteous. Protocol la lel.

HR is demigod. Once u tekan them.... you'll be in deep shit

Damn, I hate 2nd interview.

You have just reminded me to go through this hassle again.

First stage screening is the one with a lot of BS.

Years ago when interview with HR, the HR guy keeps insisting that my working attitude is not good and does not do well in group based on their psychology test.

I dont go to much interview but all MNC 1st stage is HR.

Chinaman, HR IV through call and next is F2F with HOD.

I guess some company practice it in different way.

Lol! These tests are okay at first, but it gets annoying after a while. Like some tests gonna determine your attitude and behavior. Also nobody in their right mind will answer truthfully. People r not dumb.

U want the job or not? Just do ur best to whoever intervew u la...its simple.. dont be cocky but jobless...wait until u become the interviewer and got candidate act cocky to u

True, read from the script and keep ask you repeat the answers so they can write it down.

Can you tell me spell out Sig-qur and a lot of industry jargon.

Waste of time.

TS first time interview?

Its normal for HR to interview first before shortlisting a few potential candidates for hiring manager

If hiring manager needs to interview all potential candidates,they wont even have time to shit

isnt HR check stuff like personality & work culture?
Why u talk technical stuff with them?

The worst i had:

Got call for interview, went early to make good impression but turns out the guy was late for over 1hr.

When interviewer finally turns up tells me he is not hr nor is he hod, he is just another manager from another dept taking over. Ask retarded question personal n family stuff, when its my turn to ask about job scope he just scoff n i paraphrase "you havent even been accepted yet why ask these question? When we consider u only we tell u what to do dont act so smart".

Fine if this is they way ur company culture is i aint even interested anymore, at end of session as customary i offer my hand but he didnt even care to shake it. Macauhai this company with its shit professionalism.

1 or 2 mths later the real hod called up for another interview session, haha fker nobody their right mind will wan to be colleague of that shithead manager of urs.

U meet alot of these macauhai in company wan. Either is friends company, fama company or some lousy ass company. But some renowned company also of these machauhai lurking around

Was 10yrs ago i think, it is somewhat renowned at the time but nowadays probably not the 1st brand u think about anymore

Even after 10yrs i still vividly remember that fker cuz of the paragon of professionalism that emanating from that old fart almost botak, pudgy and short with glasses. Kek
