2 Days, 2 Different Companies, 2 Interviews, 1 thing in common
by Mr. Star,
Last Friday and Saturday (7th and 8th March 2008) I went to 2 different company for a job interview. On Friday, I went to Bukit Bintang for a job interview to be a trainee project manager by an event, promotion and marketing agency called Channel Direct Asia. The interview exposes me to the sales and promotion position where if I were selected I can manage to get up to RM4000 per month (depending on performances). With all the positive to gain, I think I have failed to impress during the interview session because my input are too technical and for me cannot be compared to other experienced sales person that are also attending the interview. Nevertheless, I always takes things as part and parcel of my never ending search for experience and knowledge to improve my life.
Due to the lack of performance in my Friday's interview. My heart was burning with fire to redeem back my self esteem in the next job interview on Saturday. For Saturday, I had went to Jaya Jusco Wangsa Maju for a job interview to become Management Trainee for AEON company (the company that owns Jaya Jusco and MaxValu supermarket). This job opportunity interest me not because of the salary offered, but because of the career development plan that had been structured for management trainee in building their ambition in the retail business. I believe my performance here was much better than the day before and hope to get the results soon.
As you might notice both these company have one thing in common. It is not an engineering company as previous job application and interview attempts before. I choose to join the session to broaden my view regarding various job prospects and opened my eyes to other possibilities.
I pray for the best :-)

Great day at Autosurf CC with Local FIFA Champ
by Mr. Star,
As mentioned earlier, I had won a practice session with Malaysia’s No 1 FIFA player as my gift in participating The FIFA Blog. And yesterday was the day that I came over to Autosurf CC to get my reward.
Rinie (the Champ) is a warm and fun guy to talk to and thus providing n excellent opportunity for me to learn as much as I could in an hour period of time. He thought me on when to attack, provide width to the team and most importantly how to slow or fasten the tempo of my FIFA 08 game. The session which is ended around 4:20pm, have given me good experience and I will make sure all the knowledge will be fully benefited in my game.
Game Results
1. Rinie 4 - Me 0
2. Rinie 3 - Me 1 (Yeah.. I score!!)
3. Rinie 4 - Me 0 (Argh.. Being whooped again.. haha)
4. Rinie 2- Me 1 (My best game with him)
Thank you Rinie for the practice session (and the RM50 ang pau also 
).
Hope we will meet again and next time I may not be that easy to be defeated. LOL!!

Great Interview Session
by Mr. Star
Hello again,
Last 2 weeks I had another interview but this time I joined a local car manufacturer's open interview. I am glad I've arrived there early because latter that day I found out up to 500 people come to try there luck. Here are my assessment for the interview.
Firstly, there is an IQ test set up with 36 questions to be answered by 40 minutes. Since I had an experience of doing test before (last 2 posts :-)), I manage to keep my heads and hand firm to answer them all. The questions is basically wants us to select the best possible sequence of the next picture and each question have 7 different answers to choose from.
Then, came the waiting game where all participants are required to wait at the conference hall until the results came up. It took me 1.5 hours before my test results is showed and Thank GOD I manage to pass it. Some of the participant failed to do the IQ test and even though some of them are 1st Class Honors, they can't go through the interview session and had to go home (sounds like Malaysia Idol elimination session hahaha).
After that, I had to wait in line. Even though there are only 3-4 people in front of me, it took me another 1.5 hours before my turn to impress the interviewer. The interview session runs greatly and by far, this is my best performance in terms of presentation, answering questions and my background research regarding the company really pays off. I think I manage to get their attention to my ability rather than my grades. I hope this time around my effort will not go in vain because I really wanted to join the company.

Test results
I have got my results for the global problem solving test, and unfortunately I fail to get the job offered. Well, this does not stop me from going all guns blazing to secure a good job upon my bachelor degree completion at my university. I also got the results from my past interview with a manufacturing company and ones again i fail to get the job.
I believe in hardship before glory and I hope these hardship will bring me further both in my career and my life. My brother have told me of term "downtime" after graduating. This "downtime" means the time you spend freely because u are already graduated and wanting some time to rest before finding a job. Hm.. I've looked into the matter with deep interest and concluded that the only "downtime" i will have is the time I spend to search a new job and not doing nothing. Hope things will be better for me in the future.
