i applied all my jobs from js too...
have attended a few interview in companies that
are very suspisious. and throw away some which is totally crap.
it comes with experience..
its a good thing u asked.
one thing to look out for, there might be some company that
may not be what they seem..
best way:
1) check in the website. if they have a webpage, see if they clearly
tell their line of business and not 'beating around the bush'
2) check in the phone directory/ with telekom which company
is the number registered to. or better, you can try check with the company registrary...i think they have a webpage. suruhanjaya
syarikat malaysia or something like that.
3) call them before the interview to ask about their company.
4) read and re-read their vacancy ad and compare to other
more credible company..usually 'problematic' company will not be clear
about the position requirement, job scope, little or no information about
the company etc.
5) if you are daring enough, go for the interview. during the
interview focus more on checking out the company's credibility.
listen and analyse how they answer you....
6) what you are doing now....post in lowyat. also...have you check
other older threads...just in case this company had been mentioned before.
good luck
