hi mimikw,

I would like to know more about selection of candidates, i was called directly by some company HR as they mentioned they found my LI profile/ resume from JS, offered me to be interview on a position, say Business Development, Head. The 1st interviewer ask nothing much about BD role but more towards products knowledge, the 2nd interviewers (COO & CFO) aside start off with the tell me about yourself opening, from this intro + resume on the spot reading while i talk, they mentioned that i may not fit the role.
After finished the 2nd interview, went on about 30 minutes. i was wondering why is the 1st place i m selected by the HR and it was not mentioned by the 1st interviewers (HR Manager & Senior Manager).
Feel like a bit of wasting time if the 1st thing come from the COO is you may not fit the role.

2nd thing is, they did offer to look into another position which they feel more suitable for me, is this just to comfort me kinda ease the awkward situation or there is such arrangement? The position mentioned was not published to public, cant find in their website nor any recruitment portal.

Hi mimikw,

Thanks for reply my previous post about candidate selection.
You as a senior recruiter, would you mind give me some advise on how to shape the skillset/ career path? As i had mix experiences and have not focus in 1 field eg. full focus in business development, or digital marketing, or data analysis etc. But i had developed various kind of skills and experience along my career journey (close to 19 years), currently i view myself with no specific strong skillset but towards a general management, shall i focus on specific field so i can be more marketable or i shall maintain acquiring new skillset from time to time?
What is the market expectation for someone like myself, of which, i can almost work in any department/ segment aside professional specific eg. lawyer/ accountant/ architect etc.

Thanks for the reply.
I guess that i have to decide a path firmly

either maintain a higher post in a sdn bhd

or,

focus on 1 field to go back to MNC

Hi mimikw,

I got an offer from that interview that change the job role on the last meeting, its an MNC Group company.
Not sure this is good or not as the new role is created from the recent restructuring of the company organization chart, a more defined and specific role to assist the company to grow on specific segment, but of course the offer is good compared to what i have now....

a bit dilemma on whether to take up this challenge or not, not because of self confident but more on the newly setup department (as head) with no guidance but the direction/ objective, more like giving me the opportunity to create something from nothing

usually, for a newly setup department, is the KPI set based on general due to no precedent or how it was set ?
