Interview Preparation

Interview... Hmm... this tricky step of getting a job. Great interviewer sometimes wouldn't give you any of glimpse whether he/she is satisfied with your answer. He/she could make you telling story and respond to it very well that you dont know whether it works or no.

This week, I am going to have 2 consecutive interview on Monday and Sunday via live meeting. Live meeting? Yes, because I am applying for regional assignment in Singapore. The interviewers of course were based there. What to prepare then?

Technical:

1. Since it's gonna be online, I gotta make sure the connection going well and no distraction exist. So, booking room for interview is done!

2. Headset. Invest on a good one! Otherwise, it will impact on the quality of voice you'll be hearing

Non technical:

1. Understand the job properly. I was given a sheet of full description about my job desc. Tonight (I know its too late hahaha), I am going to delve deep that sheet.

2. Prepare my Strength and Weakness and the narrative. I was told by my current Line Manager. When you are about to tell the strength and weakness, make sure you fulfill STAR. What is STAR?

• S: exact Situation when you've applied your strength, describe the event, 
• T : Forget hahaha
• A: Forget hahaha
• R : Result. tell them how was the result of the event you've described earlier.

3. Learn my cv. What I have written is what they will ask me about.

4. Mental. Put the nothing to loose mentality.

Okay, be back with the first phase of interview result and the abbreviations of TA in STARS.

Bye.
