3 in a row.

first one was one with a HR company.

they interview on behalf of another company.

overall performance : quite good. received positive response.

lessons learnt
  • always show off your communications skill, big plus.
  • always read up and show effort and interest. also a plus, and in some cases, VITAL.
  • fresh grads can't really ask for much

second one was with a chemical engineering consultant company.

overall performance : bad. very bad.

lessons learnt
  • older more experienced people have very high expectations. everest high sometimes.
  • when interviewing for technical position, be damn sure you have appropriate technical knowledge!
  • everything happens for a reason, so if things don't go your way, learn from mistakes and accept that its for the best.
  • never bulls**t bout stuff unless you're POSITIVE interviewer doesn't know. epic rofl.
  • einstein's theory of relativity is true, 5 minutes does feel like an hour under right conditions
  • people sometimes blame you for the stupidest of things. smart people are sometimes jerks.

third one was with tyre company.

overall performance : okay. :)

lessons learnt
  • Jobstreet sometimes sends you alerts for jobs that require years of experience when you're a fresh graduate. -_-""
  • even so, don't give up and try anyway. The Big Guy up above works in very mysterious ways.
  • asking questions about job shows interest.
  • making stuff up as you go is okay if it makes sense.
unrelated note to interviews
  • meeting up with friends is always fun.
  • going out from 8 am to 11 pm on ramadhan may not be good for your well-being.
  • being friendly sometimes leads to unexpected discoveries.
  • Masjid besi in Putrajaya is so big you could probably play football inside.
  • chemical engineers in malaysia are probably separated by only 3 degree separation. (i.e : friend of a friend of a friend = all the chemical engineers in malaysia)
  • RM 50 worth of petrol is roughly half a tank for a Persona.
  • There is no such thing as a "pressure pump." epic fail.
  • There is a fine line between fun sarcasm and mean sarcasm.
  • Huge karipap at Murni is called "Roti Dragon", not roti dinosaur or roti monster. lol.

  • Honey dew is definitely the best drink there.
  • Some people have auras that cause other people to self-bahan. epic rofl.
  • Setiap orang ada rezeki tersendiri.
  • OU cinema seats are really comfortable. caution : may induce involuntary sleeping.
  • Repoman is a nice movie. :)
  • green = go, yellow = go faster, red = go really2 fast in KL.
  • Girls instantaneously generate limitless amount of energy when the words "sale" or "discount" are plastered on clothing shop windows, EVEN when complaining of tiredness mere seconds earlier.
  • dictionary, thesaurus and "dinosaurus" are types of books. super epic LOL.
  • making fun of other people is fun, but you have to accept being made fun of also. (refer to kelab menembak rule no 1)
  • using point forms makes for shorter posts and message still gets across.
and the last one
  • shopping for interview clothes is tough, so when in doubt, send an MMS to mak. epic rofl.
fyi, pic was taken way before i went to interview, so no i did not went to the interview looking like a hippie.

till next time.

peace. :)
