i would say this was the most professional interview that i ever had in my life although they failed me at last, but i still feel happy i managed to pass through so many rounds.
woke up early in the morning and drove all the way from subang to kl with the help of gps (but still lost in kl) , it was just abt to 7am but the road in kl already started getting jam, but luckily i still able to reach the hotel before 8am.
well, all the candidates were well-groomed and waited patiently at the lobby area..
about 70 plus of us managed to pass for 2nd interview, and only 6 guys including myself.
i met up my friends there and talked for awhile before the interview starts.
the outfits of the day
the interviewers not really good in punctuality , stated 8am but started at 9am plus.
first round : we have a short briefing about the company, and Q n A session. after that we were called to do the arm reach test one by one, after u pass the arm reach test u have to sit down in front of the interviewer for a very short one to one interview. A lot of questions were being thrown to me to answer, about 5 to 10mins talk. then hv to go back to ur seat n wait for the rest of the candidates.. this process took abt three hours before we get to know our results.
From 72 become 40 plus left and only 4 guys left. i was the lucky one to pass the first stage.
while waiting otherswell, we all proceeded to second stage, it was an english examination. For those who are not really good in english or poor in understanding english, u might be kicked out from this stage.
the exam included writing an essay... i guess probably they just wanted to check with ur grammar and ur understanding in english. well, again alot of ppl got kicked off from this stage too (i dnt knw why bcoz some of them really good in speaking, but why they got kicked off? but not me =.=)
yes, again i received the CONGRATULATION letter from the interviewer. was quite happy coz not much ppl could manage to pass until this round. so now left 29 of us and only 3 guys left.
went for our lunch, a quick one. the rushed back to the hotel again... it was almost 4pm
again we were called and proceeded to the next round which was group discussion (the last stage of today and if u pass this round meaning u hv to come back on tml for the final one to one interview)
my group got 10 candidates, and we 3 guys were grouped together. the first question was "tel me the one who sits on ur left about what is his/her biggest mistake in his/her life" we were given 5 mins to discuss with the person seated next to each other and then we hv to present it to the interviewer one by one. well, this was not really tough for me ... after we all hv done it, here came with the tough one.
"i will give u guys about 10 mins to discuss 3 advantages and 3 disadvantages to stay in dubai"
while they were discussing abt the answer, i not really talked much and just agreed with whatever the point that they pointed out. the two interviewers kept walking around us and observing us with the papers and pen on their hands recording down something. i knew they were giving marks and picking out the weakness of each candidates. and "time up"
she called 6 of us to present each point that we've discussed. i was the one to get called to present the last point. (was thinking why choose me???? still got few more havent presented yet) out of sudden, i was so freaking nervous and it was supposed the 3rd disadvantages i should have pointed out but i said ' the 2nd disadvantages'. it somehow showed that my listening skill wasn't that good. ofcoz i corrected it after my frenz told me. then i continued presenting with the fucking shit english... yes i ruined myself in this stage!!!! i should talk confidently .. but ...
so again we were called to wait at outside for about an hour for the results. actually i already expected what my result would be and finally they passed us the letter again whether u r successful to proceed for the final or not.. " UNFORTUNATELY......" this was the letter i got ..
and half of us failed in this stage, only 15 candidates able to proceed to the final interview which will be held on tml at the same venue.. only one guy (malay) managed to proceed to final (dnt really understand, he didnt talk much too and he didnt present about the discussion too).
it was so near to me... but i ruined it.
two of my frens got it and i really wish them can get the job!
this was my first attempt for emirates interview and it was really a good experience for me. i might gv another attempt nxt time (after 6months, bcoz that is their rules for those who failed at this stage)
will never give up on what i want! think positively :)))
