thanks for the info, i only knew this now. I only did 1 internship for 3 months back in my uni days and i did it because of course requirement.

Im Sorry but if having gone3 internships but they way he speaks is Like SPM level , how ? U think Maybank Petronas only rely on your degree ?

Huh that’s the standard now?

My definition of high achiever if I refer to the one I know : he purposely extended 1 Sem becoz he want to retake 2 subjects that he didn’t score 4.0.

He only took 1 internship. Non MNC.

He got his first job in one of the Big4 and already moved to Aussie office.

may be company did a background socmed check on him...whiner...

yea.. kinda stupid as nowadays company will at least check your name online
imagine a simple google search of his name and this video is the first thing that comes up.. straight delete his cv

Usually those who have good attitude will also get first class or at least a second upper. Good attitude to learn usually also extends to academic.

What was the reason he got rejected?

High CGPA students used to be rare but nowadays one papan tanda macam can fall down and hit thousands of them.. So become nothing special already.

That's considered a noob result for spm. I wonder where the confidence come from.

And what the hell. Only 3a+ in spm also can get matriculation? People in the past 8a+ also cannot get in.

Like that matrik also can get 4.0 cgpa. This really shows matric is overrated. Too easy to score. Even spm 3a+ student also can get 4.0 in matrik. Last time I saw a few spm straight A only got 2.xx cgpa in stpm

UM only. the world is big. maybe many oversea uni grad with 4.0 fight same job. MNC is high demand

I agree. Those average/above average students would work hard to achieve academic success.

Those with high IQ would usually have low EQ. This can be seen in most successful people around the world. Hard for them to work with others because those around them do not have the brains that these smart ones do.

For this guy. I'll give credit to him for sure. Unfortunately, his attitude eclipses his achievement. His justification that he's better than everyone. Yes, he's definitely better than most candidates but may not definitely be the best. Maybe he was just good by the books not technically. He needs to stay humble. He may voice his dissatisfaction to his friends/family but not on social media where you will be judge. He thinks he would be gaining clouts for doing so, however, it seems to have backfired.

I once joked Infront of my potential employer. It wasn't anything mean it was just to joke about being more optimistic and I received a backlash reply from them. From that day onward, I learned a lesson not to joke with people you don't know. Everyone is different.

Don't know about nowadays, but about 20 years back, it is not common even for MNCs. Common sense will tell you that la, if everybody had 1st class degrees, do you really think somebody with a 2nd class degree would even get through the screening stage?

But back then, 1st class degree from UM gets pushed to the top of the short list. Some guys I know even skip a few of the hurdles if they really want the guy. If he farks up the interview, itu lain cerita lol.

Too brag
Nope nope

Every little damn thing also nd to post, if sikit sikit in the office boss rub u the wrong way, confirm gg di ur boss.

meaning he entered guna cable ke? he is cina, Alvin Lee his name, don't think he fits into a quota system reserved for bumi.

you kata even people with 8A+ pun tak dapat masuk, but this Alvin Lee entered, scored, and now a UM graduand.

I get what you are saying and I agree in the Malaysia context. Here, any response that can be perceived as 'not humble' will be interpreted as such. Unfortunately this is the Malaysian culture. I too observed this in my own experience and as much as I do not share that view, that is the pervasive outlook in Malaysia. So we just gotta adapt.

Isnt mnc need more than just internship ? Need cocu activity, need some kabel kuat kuat la, hahaha, and they dont simply hire a average / smart employee with less than 2-3 references .

Likely he lost to a candidate with working experience. He thinks that grade was everything; he disregarded that he was actually competing against experienced candidates that requested the same salary range as he did.

Intern means nothing. Basically u were a free kuli. I had an intern from UM too. He did very well for his grades and numerous intern experience, unfortunately, he was lacking technically. He applied for a PhD, shortlisted but was not offered a scholarship; thus, he was not taken in by my boss. Basically, he's competing against candidates with Master's degree with strong record of publications. This can easily translated to this Alvin guy, who thinks grade is everything. My intern was rather humble and willing to accept his fate, look for alternatives, instead of blaming others for not accepting him.

I got searched. A few years ago, matriculation quota increased. But the ratio still remains. 90% bumi and 10% non bumi.

But the number of seats increased.

That's why nowadays "second class" spm results chinese students also can get matriculation.

Else, in older days, those chinese who got matriculation is almost guaranteed to be at least 9A+

I'll rather take in a kayu segi empat intern who raise my BP everyday than this guy who makes me want to throw him out of the window.
