Formal Interview

First time attending a formal interview =S

It didn't go well for me. Was stuck at many questions.

Talked about my favourite subject & the Interviewer starts to ask questions based on what I've said.

Talked about my command in English. Interviewer said that he met a client from germany & was told that Singaporean's English wasn't good. Especially Engineers. Interviewer said that, Engineers hardly write reports or papers filled with words or in essay form. Their works in school are mainly filled with numbers, formulae, calculations, tables, charts and graphs.

Talked about my Biggest Achievements.

Asked if I were prepared for the Interview. They started laughing when I added something like "The questions that I've prepared for weren't asked yet" So the Interviewer asked what are the questions that I've prepared for. After me answering, he said actually he wanted to ask that, but in another way.

So he really did asked IN ANOTHER WAY = Something that I've not prepared for.

Haha !!

During the Interview, there are times where it is silence, the time when I was deep into my thoughts, thinking of the questions & answers. The question that makes me went silence is about my biggest achievement. Interview said it could be you scoring straight A(s) or having 3A(s) in major examination. Haha.

So I was thinking, other than academic related stuff, what else can I say? *Since I didn't managed to get straight A(s) in School.*

And so, what have I done that makes me feel proud of myself? Wahahhaz !!

Oh ya ! One of the Interview asked:"How long do you usually sleep?"

I din managed to ask him why he asked that. Questions after Questions were shoot out way too fast to stop & asked that.

--

5 Interviewers in total.

2 were there during the Informal Interview. *So they didn't ask anymore questions*

The director is the one who asked the most questions.

Anyway, after using pink as my primary colour of my laptop for years. I've finally switched it back to White ^_^

Not that I'm not crazy about pink colour anymore, just that I've the urge to be seen as being a normal person =p Wahahhax !!!

I'm still trying to be used to looking at a much brighter screen =)
